Audio for morning commuters:
[...]And, you know, Bluesky, they're, they're paving the way for a billion people on the network, like a Facebook size social network, and I think the fediverse is very focused on, you know, couple hundreds, 1000s of folks, but this, this space of a few million is, is, I think there's lots to explore there.[...]
I repeatedly have proven to be torn about ActivityPub vs ATProto, still considering the Fediverse to in its current state be better from a global governance and distribution of power point of view while ATProto, for multiple reasons, seems a better choice for actually building tools for larger communities, and this is what made me listen to this episode very cautiously. There are some things in here of which I wonder whether they should be red flags immediately. But still I very very much applaud the idea of putting people communities and their needs first, not technological ideas and requirements. That's something I am sometimes missing in the AP Fediverse that just all too often gets lost in its own internal frictions of implementations, interoperability issues and essentially tech-centric communities gating themselves against each other.
