I’m now convinced that it’s a good thing that we have both #ActivityPub and #ATProto. Competition and cross-pollination will make both better and bridges are essential. Mastodon’s Fediscovery and W3C LOLA portability are clear examples.

@santisbon those are both ActivityPub features.
ATproto doesn't have much yet besides BlueSky. There's whitewind and frontpage, but that's it so far.
Furthermore, they only federate with themselves officially and since Fedi decided they wanted to harass the dev into adding the opt in crap that no other Fedi software has, so now the feature is pretty useless cause most people don't know about it.️

@BeAware Oh I know they will be Fediverse features, that's why I mentioned them. They clearly come from the idea of content discovery and account portability which are ATProto features.
Whitewind, Smoke Signals, Deck Blue, etc. are a good start but we should see more (and more polished) options soon. Right now you can spin up your own PDS, your own Appview, and if you really want to, your own Event Log services. It's moving really fast. It's not just Bluesky anymore.
I agree 100% that the harassment suffered by so many developers is a disgrace. It's mostly the Mastodon culture that is doing a lot of damage to AP. It's the main thing that has been driving me away from ActivityPub recently. I'm at the point where I'll probably go all in on atproto. Doing some proof of concept kind of stuff right now.
