Proponents of ActivityPub talk a lot about how flexible it is. I think that's the problem here.
Sure you could implement BlueSky-over-activitypub, but would it be usefully compatibile with mastodon-over-activitypub? If not, why add the complexity.
- mwill 3y agoCan't comment on the bluesky aspect, but you've touched on my frustration with ActivityPub. When people were migrating to Mastodon, I took a look at making a single-user instance that would suit my personal needs and gracefully interact with the wider ecosystem and found that in my case the capabilities of ActivityPub are irrelevant, you are tied to the Mastodon teams choices. Felt very much like in practice it just gives you tools to make mostly-insular federated apps, rather than letting different apps interact.
