   The one thing I do think the AT Protocol is better at than #ActivityPub is data portability. Being built-in at the protocol layer so that you don’t have to do the migration shit (which doesn’t bring your posts) is better. It just is. I think ActivityPub has more potential overall for the social web beyond just Twitter clones, but that part of #ARProtocol is better.

     I think data portability is incredibly important and the fact that Mastodon hasn’t prioritized that, to me, is a failing. And I say Mastodon, not ActivityPub, b/c AP does have some options there. But Mastodon wasn’t designed that way, no matter what people want to pretend. It just wasn’t. My followers/following list is only part of my data. My content is equally important.

     @thomasfuchs @film_girl I imagine there's also going to be an element of fatigue and drift in folks' social graph as people continue (or opt not to) movie. I might prefer to simply log off over joining another service (I don't have the highest opinion of Jack either).

     @thomasfuchs I sadly agree. I’ve long-argued that I’m long ActivityPub, I’m not long Mastodon. You can’t do these things by committee and I think Gargron has done a good job trying to steer, but has also let too many other people bikeshed.

     @wjmaggos @mattl @film_girl I thought I saw a second server mentioned on one of the developers Twitter accounts.

     am I wrong that they aren't even decentralized yet? they rolled out an iOS app before having a second server afaik. we have no idea what these promises will look like IRL.
