yeah i’m using openvibe too atm. not sure if it’s messed up relays but i’m replying on Damus right now and it seems ok? idk how to check really
yep, i think because ActivityPub is standardised by W3C they move much slower, and Mastodon’s core engineering team is do small, that even has an open source project, it’s not getting many new exciting changes. i personally feel like microblogging products don’t always need shiny new features, i was kinda surprised that was what Elon seemed to care about so much with Twitter. imo if you have a good functioning product with users and a thriving API then you should be good, but oh well lol.
meh atproto would be hard to lock down. it basically works where all users have a personal data server (pds) and this is where all their posts go (bluesky or other atproto apps). then they send out a message telling relays (which *anyone* can setup) to cache and store the new information. bc of this, there’s an open firehose, which you can view with tools like https://firesky.tv or other… Bluesky could theoretically that public firehose down, but anyone can spin another up with their own Relay, it’s just quite expensive right now (the engineers at bluesky are working on making it cheaper, Jetstream i’d a good starting point.)
sorry for getting in depth about it, but that’s pretty much how it works on the surface, yeah. i think their hardest challenge is making money, since they are a company.
also, they still own atproto (the protocol itself), when it gets stable enough they’re gonna try and move it to a standards group (similar to W3C, but not necessarily them). but yeah the whole thing feels a but experimental still. still a fun protocol though, and it’s cool seeing so many regular people signup and use the app/protocol daily. with things like the bridges, it improves the experience for nostr/fediverse indirectly as well.
