Same, I wish that atproto and activitypub had a baby so we got the separation between data and how we view it of atproto with the simpler to completely selfhost world of activitypub.

Note that the area director responsible for RFC-5023 has done some interesting data portability work trying to retrofit an export API onto Mastodon, as a project of the DTI:

por isso acho importante fortalecer o ecossistema do ActivityPub (fediverso), sem deixar de defender a interoperabilidade com o AT Protocol, mas a questão não é disputar qual rede vai concentrar mais usuários, é construir condições para que nenhuma empresa consiga concentrar esse poder novamente

I love and respect the pioneering work that ActivityPub did to decentralize social media. What I believe we need to solve the power imbalance on the web are for people to control their online presence, identity and connections.

If 12 years ago I had built OIDC into my initial draft of what became ActivityPub, it would have been 10% less fucked.
It would still be 80% fucked, mind.

This is not for everyone though. Sometimes you need anonymity for reasons. Sometimes you need and want a locally moderated and protected community. The #fediverse and #ActivityPub is the right solution for that.

Concordo, e estou te respondendo pelo WAFRN, que é bissexual (ATproto e ActivityPub) e quanto mais decentralizado o melhor.
Claro que as grandes redes nunca serão derrubadas, mas todos precisam participar de redes decentralizadas como um segundo perfil pelo menos...

As a longtime #fediverse and #mastodon user, I was initially skeptical towards #WSocial. Having read up on the very different philosophies behind #ActivityPub and #ATproto I realise they can't be compared on the same scale and the choice depends on what you want to achieve.

ATProto uses Internet domains (in reverse order) for type IDs. Ex:
com.example.image
ActivityPub uses IRIs (URLs) for type IDs. Ex:
https;//example·com/ns#Image
There are pros and cons to both approaches.
