   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.

     @film_girl this and many other things about the project (like UX issues that haven’t been fixed in years) is telling me that it won’t be able to move beyond a niche

     @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).

     @film_girl I’m a bit sad about it because if the project had taken the influx and Twitter woes as an opportunity to improve on UX it could have gone so much further already.

     I’m hoping for an ActivityPub <> AT Protocol bridge so you can follow and chat with people in both worlds.

     @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.
