@promovicz @laurenshof @evan And for whatever it's worth, I think there are solutions to these things. EITHER ActivityPub or ATproto could incorporate the good ideas of the other and solve the parts the other lack.

And I can write down to do it. And I have, scattered across bits and pieces.

But it requires getting ecosystems to move, and it's very depressing trying to do that. I don't have the time in my life to sit through meetings trying to convince them that they need to solve the problem right now. So I just focus on building the directions I think matter.

I could write it all down though, and let everyone else do the fighting to make it happen, I suppose.

But I don't have power over the ATproto or ActivityPub worlds, really. The implementers of both do, and both have huge stakes and biases towards their own things, and investments in the directions they already are convinced they should go. I have a say, and an ability to critique, and people listen to me, but only sort of.
