It has, over time, become harder and harder for me to advocate for the "fediverse" as it exists today.
Especially with the growing maturity in ATProto. It isn't there yet, in some ways not by a longshot, but it is also a far cry better than our current situation in many relevant aspects.
It doesn't mean that the solution is BlueSky, but I'm increasingly wondering why AP, why mastodon, and why our current model.
@hrefna Thank you. I've had a vague sense that AP had limitations that weren't really fixable or at least weren't fixable in a way that the main developers were going to take on.
I haven't done the reading yet on ATProto but I'm glad there's at least a potentially viable alternative.
@hrefna Relative to this, I've been thinking that one thing that the AP fediverse is missing is something like forums, threads, or other forms of coherent spaces beyond just instances and hashtags. Particularly ones that can have cross-instance closure and moderation.
Do you happen to know if that's possible in ATProto?
@MichaelTBacon @hrefna it's not missing them. That's exactly what #lemmy and #piefed are doing
@Die4ever @MichaelTBacon @hrefna sublinks has been "soon" for a while now however
