Thanks for the comprehensive comments. I didn’t even know the whole backstory behind ActivityPub. I always just took it for granted. I think we agree that there are quite some issues that are technical in nature. I think we’d need so solve a few of those before we can think about growing the Fediverse substantially. It’s certainly not easy. But adding drama also doesn’t help. I’m quite pisitive about the Fediverse. At least in the mid to long term. Maybe a bit competition and new projects will help add a few new ideas.
Always happy to chat about the fediverse … even when I’m critical it’s out of optimism for its future and promise.
On the point of competition … what’s kinda interesting is that for some people “fediverse” is now a broad term that encompasses BlueSky with their ATP protocol and Nostr and farcaster with their more crypto based protocols. So there’s certainly some strange mix of things at the moment.
