I really wonder how Bluesky [1] (Twitter's project of project to build a decentralized social media protocol) will take ActivityPub and especially Mastodon into account… Both the W3C and RetroShare have reacted to the news on Twitter [2] but are totally ignored so far.

- crossroadsguy 5y agoA wild guess would be that he is trying to remake a centralised decentralised Twitter. I think he just wants to keep one hand in somewhere that can be spun as something else when Twitter will start being unbearable if it hasn’t already. Something like the Banks first dissing crypto and now lining up to make “their own crypto”. I mean who knows. But he not even acknowledging ActivityPub in any of those N insipid tweets, even after being reminded by others, says volumes about his intentions.
- riffic 5y agoUntil someone from the Bluesky leadership team officially stands up their own AP-speaking site, I wouldn't expect them to commit to anything. On the other hand, they've been quick to build a community around a proprietary/closed/centralized service (Discord). Bare minimum would be to stand up a WP site with the ActivityPub Plugin for feeding back their statuses to the existing standards-based social web.
