I'm especially interested in what their new protocol offers that ActivityPub doesn't. There are more protocols than just ActivityPub, like Zot6 which focuses a lot more on nomadic identity than ActivityPub does. I'd love to know what it is that makes BlueSky's protocol better and therefore worth adding. Because if it doesn't do anything that other protocols already do, then what's the point?
- TulliusCicero 4y agoAs someone who's watched some of this but has little personal interest, the differentiation seems to be that Bluesky has a more compelling product on top of its decentralized protocol, judging by the reaction to it by 'personalities' from various domains.
- Aeolun 4y agoWell, if it offers anything like increased speed and more useable searching thst’s good enough for me.
- navigate8310 4y agoI don't think "useable searching" depends upon the protocol but the way how something is implemented over it.
- vidarh 4y agoIf you want nomadic identity, a tiny tweak to expect ActivityPub instances to support a distributed content addressable URI scheme (optionally via proxies) is almost all that is needed, so if there turns out to be a lot of demand for it, it'll get added.
