NodeBB-ActivityPub Bridge Test Instance

@nick @galaxy_map I mean, your average social media user doesn't have the vocabulary to even start thinking about running their own instance. I'm a professional software developer, with friends and contacts who do/have previously run their own instances and the overwhelming consensus is that social issues aside (like knowing to defederate the nazi, porn and abuse instances) it's not a great technical solution either. And frankly I don't want to spent my limited time on earth managing another server when I could be spending it doing something I actually enjoy.

@galaxy_map Emily Hunt's replies to that toot are on the mark. It's a question of priorities, but activitypub means that users have to bet on their chosen host surviving long term for everything. But in practice, they don't last and the protocol design makes switching providers difficult (from the migration process not preserving toots, to relying on the host remaining reachable to actually migrate users).

There are real risks with atproto, sure, and its governance is one of them, but for my money it's the one I'm betting on long term because ultimately, it's hard to hope that the instance I picked will still be running in two, three, five years.
