@evan @zicklag Those are awesome features, but how much value do they have if users don't have the mobility to leave Mastodon for a provider that implements them? The fact that identity portability isn't seen as the most important issue by far gives me pause when considering building on AP. And I say this as someone who is actively developing AP software. I'm just hedging my bets by supporting other protocols as well (primarily IndieWeb atm).

@evan @zicklag I'd be more inclined to agree with you if it were clear that AP is improving in the most important ways. From my vantage point it has ossified quite a bit. Critical features aren't even being implemented by the major apps, let alone standardized. AP is a solid foundation but it needs to continue to evolve.
