my take: this is kind of a rube goldberg device but it's a lovely move in the right direction when suitable services are lacking.
- acjohnson55 4y agoWhat's the Rube Goldberg device, the Fediverse, Mastodon, or Wildebeest? And do you think this is more so than other open Internet service designs?
- riffic 4y agospecifically Wildebeest. I even like Cloudflare. I think a company like Twitter could have had a real competitive advantage if they were to have repackaged its core experience as a "bring your own domain name" hosted implementation of ActivityPub in the likes of G Suite or M365. I thought for a minute that's what Bluesky was, but I am losing all hopes they'll have sense to do that.
