As former Community Manager of Diaspora, @deadsuperhero has important insights on ActivityPub vs. AT protocol.
Diaspora was once the most widely adopted platform on the Fediverse. At one point, it had 500,000 accounts.
But Diaspora refused to adopt ActivityPub. As a result, they’re a ghost of their former selves.
That could happen to Mastodon. Bluesky too.
That is, if we protocol adoption doesn’t diversify.
