   Not a big reveal. But yeah, it would be so convenient and simple if decentralized servers were all centralized, right? Oh, wait…

     @gruber @MetalSamurai @gr0k @shoq John, I don’t think AT protocol will be less “common denominator” than ActivityPub. There will be competitive apps with Bluesky. If you care about an open web, you should want that.

     @gr0k @shoq @atomicpoet @gruber I hope eventually knowledge about the Fediverse will spread, so there will be more general awareness that it’s one big social network, but you can choose your preferred on ramp. Like picking a set top box that supports your preferred streaming services, or having a favourite coffee shop (they all sell coffee, but the presentation and vibe is different).

     @MetalSamurai @gr0k @shoq @atomicpoet That’s the path to a lowest common denominator experience for everyone.

     @shoq @MetalSamurai @atomicpoet @gruber that's why we're here, and others are elsewhere. I'd like to say it's just 'cause we've been 'round the block, but many others have by now. Who was it who said give me convenience or give me death? We've taken a different approach. But people will be people.

     @atomicpoet @MetalSamurai @gr0k @shoq I’m not talking about what I want in this thread. I’m observing and predicting what is going to happen.
