@ricmac @cwebber Really good critique of why federation-capable isn't the sole metric to go by when comparing ATProto vs ActivityPub. As a (bad) example, if google's search algorithms and front-end were "federated" but you needed Google's infra (cost) to effectively run a truly independent alternative, are you actually running your own "federated search engine" (whatever that might mean) or just building a client/front-end to someone else's data?
