Your so welcome! This is what the open social web is all about! #Atmosphere #atproto #ActivityPubRE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:rcrizbkhxz3gk7ai3mod4h4p/post/3mj5sh3xlzk2d

Washed into my timeline, in between: "Traditional federation lacks modularity. Hosting, distribution, moderation, algorithms, and business logic are located in the hosting instance. This creates a weak separation of powers. Ideally, users reduce the power of a popular instance by devolving specific functions to other providers. We want to preserve rights in the default course of operation; separating powers helps achieve that." https://www.pfrazee.com/blog/practical-decentralization - definitely worth reading. In virtually every paragraph of it. #digital_technologies #social_networks #atproto #activitypub #federation

Pretty clear #EFF prefers #ActivityPub to #ATproto...

Want the app? Get it on Google Play, or join the iOS waitlist here with code SURFAPPhttps://waitlist.surf.social/

Created a Surf.Social account? Connect your ActivityPub (e.g. @Mastodon) and/or ATProto (e.g. Bluesky) accounts so that when you interact with posts, your activity will come from there. Hit the three-dot menu, select Account Settings, choose the accounts you’d like to connect, and log in. #SurfSocial #Mastodon #ActivityPub #Bluesky #ATProto

@liaizon Oh, cool! A bit more modern/minimalist than what I'm going for, but it does look like a similar project on the identity level!

@Kye@tech.lgbtif people does things on ap, "woah cool" if you do stuff in ap that deviates from what mastodon does (shit like invisible mentions or wafrn tags), people will start talking shit about you #and-there-is-a-reason-you-are-seeing-your-@-at-the-begining-of-this-post

After realizing how many ultra-light and simple options there are to run small #ActivityPub servers on tiny servers, #ATProto seems even more insanely complex and unsuitable for an actually decentralized social web. While it's cool to see the momentum behind EuroSky, I can't help but wonder... why? It's all here. Just come on in and join us in the Fediverse.#snac #hollo #gotosocial

Am I correct that with #ActivityPub, any org can run a server with their name in the domain with each member getting their own username, but using #ATproto, every individual would need to get their own domain name? Are subdomains possible? And those would probably just redirect, the structure and costs meaning they probably don't actually represent an app view or PDS or whatever?#bluesky

This #opensocial platform hopping is weird, but maybe @surffeeds@threads.net is finally doing it right: consistent, uncomplicated handles on both #ActivityPub & #ATproto - if only power users could log in to each server.

Bluesky aren't part of the #fediverse due to different protocols that they use, #ATProto aren't compatible with #ActivityPub and gladly we have Bridgy Fed to connect between them. But, only a few millions of Bluesky accounts are really connected to Bridgy Fed. Also, even though Bluesky does have more users than in fediverse, they somehow still do have limitations in their backend. 300 characters per post? Sounds like it's still limited. Also, most Bluesky users are coming from the U.S and then some countries like Brazil, Japan, and more. In Indonesia itself, Bluesky does have the same fate as the fediverse, being a minority. Well, centralisation still matters these days for anybody who doesn't give a damn about the social interactions.

Social Software Distribution. #activityPub #ATproto #NPMhttps://connectedplaces.online/reports/fr157-social-software-distribution/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub Posted into THE FEDIVERSE VS. CORPORATE SOCIAL MEDIA @the-fediverse-vs-corporate-social-media-mobileatom

I humbly come to you to ask: do you know of any bloggers that write regularly about the #Fediverse, #ActivityPub, #ATproto, or anything of that nature? It feels like it’s harder and harder to find individual voices and perspectives. If you’re writing stuff, I’m interested in following you.

@deadsuperhero if I meet any I'll let you know

Funny how building an ActivityPub plugin for #indiekit fully based on Fedify, migrating my Mastodon account to my own server @rick@rmendes.net and building my own UI to consume AP content from the #Fediverse made me use even more than before. This post is simultaneously a blog post, an #ActivityPub object in the inbox of my followers and a syndicated post to Bluesky. Next in line? getting inspired by #Wafrn and turn this indiekit/AP instance into my own #Bluesky Pds. https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/03/12/a67cd

I've written a fully complete #ActivityPub server in 64KB. What's the smallest *entirely self-hosted* PDS for #ATProto? gitlab.com/edent/activi...Terence Eden / ActivityPub-Sin...

If you consider how many people are passive "consumers" of news and large "accounts" are only interested in distribution, serious RSS clients would seem like the only workhorse we ever really needed Fancy #atproto and #activitypub protocols are a sort of RSS++, much ado for not all *that* much gainRE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:web:pluralistic.net/post/3mgigzad4bl2l

"The open social web today consists primarily of two protocols, ActivityPub and ATProto, each with very different ideas about how to organize social life online."@laurenshof@connectedplaces.online https://connectedplaces.online/where-does-community-live/I would say 3; Matrix is also a social web protocol. What you say about these 2 protocols in the rest of the paragraph applies just as much to Matrix;(1/2)#SocialWeb #ActivityPub #ATProto@laurenshof@indieweb.social

Attending the 'Growing the Open Social Web' online get-together by @fediforum. Always nice to have the chance to talk with people ( @benpate) on the possibilities of the 'Open Social' web and learn from each other. #ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse #SocialMedia #FediForum

Exploring the idea of self-hosting a Bluesky PDS alongside my Indiekit instance — turning it into a dual-protocol server that federates over both ActivityPub and AT Protocol simultaneously. Inspired by Wafrn’s approach, adapted to Indiekit’s plugin architecture and Cloudron deployment. The goal: own your AT Protocol identity and data on your own infrastructure, not on bsky.social. Plan drafted, implementation to follow. https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/03/02/1ff62
