What is feeding this war over the last few weeks?
Good to be clear here, just about everyone is making shit up, let’s look at a few examples of this.
#noster relays have the same role as instances in the #fediverse, they just called it something else to be NEW.
#bluesky is a non federating centralized clone of #twitter, they launched early to stay relevant as the #ActivityPub based #fediverse was #mainstreaming, making them irrelevant. They have millions of dollars of funding to show outcomes and thus too big to fail. Easy to see that almost nothing that makes it different to #AP is implemented.
#fahernistas on all sides have spread mess and noise on these subjects. let’s focus, all of these protocols are trying to be #4opens and #openweb native.
Let’s bridge them and get on with rebooting the #openweb to give people space to step away from the #dotcons shit storm and help bring people together in the era of #climatechaos
Don’t be a prat on this, please.
How to think about this in a useful social way? For just about everyone using any of these protocols they will have overlapping experiences, with bridges, the different protocols will be “invisible” to normal people. Currently, a lot of the mess is theoretical from a technical perspective, it’s made up mess to be different and new. And what is missing is that the different people’s experience is down to the applications more than the actual protocols.
“United we stand, divided we fall”
