Que risa la derecha en twitter (el nuevo Truth Social) ardida porque que la gente se está yendo a otros lados. Los trolls necesitan audiencia.

@okpierre @evan @Mushi but that's not how openness works for network protocols. Governance is critically important.

@okpierre @evan @Mushi the license you pointed at concerns the distribution if the at protocol reference implementation. The propietary character of the protocol itself is a different matter.

@evan @Mushi it seems to me ATProto’s descentralization is mostly theoretical (it is not realistic for a person or a small organization to run the main aggregator service and indeed no one but bluesky does) whereas for ActivityPub is not only possible but a reality.

If Bluesky were to dissapear today, all the self-hosted PDS instances would be rendered useless immediately. If Threads or the biggest mastodon instances closed today, the fediverse would still be alive and kicking.

I just finished a first read of @evan ‘s ActivityPub book from O’Reilly. The definitive guide for anyone who wants to write applications for the fediverse, imho. The detail level is spot on.

@evan cryptocurrency bros might also have a name for it (because of the 51% attack thing)

@gkrnours @simon_brooke @evan I guess its early, Evan wrote “next week” :-)

@atomicpoet regarding 2, I think its itended to be extensible with new lexicons:

"[...] Bluesky currently supports a micro-blogging mode: the app.bsky lexicon. Developers who create new lexicons would likely deploy a corresponding App View that understands their lexicon to service their users. Other lexicons could include video or long-form blogging, or different ways of organizing like groups and forums."
