One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint. AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it. I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one. #ATProto #ATProtocol #fedidev

I think it's great that we can now comment on replies made by #BlueSky users to my #BridgyFed account.From a user perspective, if we have really interoperable #ActivityPub and #ATProtocol, I find that very positive.Would you say that instances that opted for the AT Protocol are part of the #Fediverse if that happens more smoothly in the future?

What does a Discord replacement look like, and how might the open social web play a part? @laurenshof looks at what needs to happen — different apps built on the same protocols, active collaboration to make sure it all fits together — and how that's already fundamental to the Atmosphere and fediverse.flip.it/QdL.F…#ActivityPub #Mastodon #ATProtocol #Bluesky #Blacksky #Discord #Technology #Tech

@virtualpierogi @sri @jsalvador @ben @michiel @nlnetYes, I've noticed that in #FOSS realms there's a rapid change to the development processes that are followed. Where projects no longer allow people to just contribute PR's.In many github projects for instance you should first start a Discussion and get dev team's consent to create an Issue, which you may then create a PR for. Any other direct contributions are either disallowed or immediately closed.There was also this Vouch reputation system that got popularity real quick. And there'll be more changes like that I think.https://github.com/mitchellh/vouchhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46930961I've been looking at #ForgeFed and how it is set up. Currently it models very much the application model of what constitutes a typical "Code forge", but this is restrictive and going from lowest common denominator between forges. There's opportunity here to focus on the domain of "Software development" and the (social) coding processes between all stakeholders.

RE: https://ohai.social/@miri64/115870265456939250Again a new presentation of #activitypub and #atprotocol

At SXSW's Fediverse House, it didn't matter which platform or protocol you preferred — everyone was focused on the singular goal of building a better internet. We've uploaded videos and highlights of key conversations from the event and rounded them up in one post.
