Interesting take by Dave Winer (in audio, here’s the download link) about the sort of post-Twitter technical mess we might be in, specifically around ActivityPub and the complications of federation. I do worry about new standards being so difficult compared to the old social web.
@manton all very interesting points and I always like to hear Dave's opinions on these matters but for being a relatively early Bluesky users, I don't think their federation model is going to be comparable to ActivityPub, won't even be comparable because the execution of the idea will be different?
@rmdes Yes, Bluesky's idea of federation is different, not just because it doesn't use ActivityPub but also because it's structured differently. I think in the Bluesky world we'll see a few very large servers and many small "personal data servers".
