Want to thank you again for having this discussion. Fully recognize that what AT Proto folks prioritize in network architecture are not the same capabilities that ActivityPub boosters prioritize, and that it is frustrating to have this conversation here. Feel like we did make progress in clarifying and kind of agreeing about some of the respective characteristics of each protocol.

@mastodonmigration @baralheiaBaral'heia Stormdancer ΘΔ🐲 the root argument here is that none of us are actually fighting each other, as Bluesky grows, so does the fediverse. We're fighting the big tech companies like Meta, Google and TikTok.

Fighting which decentralisation or social protocol is better doesn't serve anyone on any protocol. It just strokes egos and makes tribalism feel good.

I regularly see posts on the fediverse that are trying to fight AT Protocol. I never see the same from the AT Protocol developer community back at ActivityPub: we've recognised that fight is frankly not serving anyone.

People don't care about protocols. Ain't no one going "ewww, you use IMAP? That's so lame, you should use JMAP" because no one cares. They care about what features their email app has and if it sends emails and receives them. Maybe they care about data being hosted in EU vs US, maybe.
