Apparently then, the decentralized social media network Jack wants is one that’s still almost completely centralized.
Arguing against that, of course, is nostr being out there at the opposite extreme where it appears to have more different kinds of client software than it has users.
Like Mastodon, but commercialized?
Eh, bluesky is another federated solution, that turned out to be quite similar to activitypub. Perhaps not in implementation, but in user experience. And after having used activitypub for quite a while, I don’t think it is the solution to decentralised social media.
I’ve been really enjoying nostr, even though it doesn’t have the content or user base of the fediverse just yet.
I think of ActivityPub as a sort of bidirectional RSS feed. It makes much more sense in that way than it does as social media.
Nostr has a small userbase but on the right track.
Downvoted for stating an opinion, huh? Great, feels like I’m back on reddit.
Instead of downvoting because you disagree, please reply to my comment with the reason.
