The fediverse rules and I plan to stay here as long as I can.
But seeing Bluesky carry a similar mission into the mainstream is ABSOLUTELY worth respecting.

The suit guy and AOC have embraced Bluesky (and weird Twitter was mostly there from the beginning). Mastodon will not be the Twitter replacement.

@ernie I do think Bluesky pretty much nailed a lot of UX things that were lacking here. The starter lists and custom feeds are really cool.
(I also like how they handle identity but I doubt that's making a dent)
If we're going to be the weirdos over here I'd love to see folks doing more weird shit with AP. Folks like @bookwyrm are using the protocol in interesting ways but they still have to bend over backward to accommodate Mastodon and I think that's a shame.

@ssweeny @ernie @bookwyrm Agreed. Starter packs and domains as identity are perfecto. Two things that would be game changing for the Fediverse. Two biggest detractors of Mastodon/Fedi have always been what server to join and then how to discover people and be discovered by others. Having your identity tied to a domain instead of a server could partially help with what server to join, as then server choice only becomes an issue of moderation. Starter packs help with discoverability.

@shellsharks @ernie @bookwyrm I also have a dream of a "generic" ActivityPub server that holds all my AP data, and Mastodon, Bookwyrm, etc are just clients or views of that data. Ideally it would be small enough to self-host or easily move between providers.

Help me make that a reality:
