@The Nexus of Privacy Unfortunately, I can't join that discussion for some reason.

Just so much, @Emelia 👸🏻: Most of my Fediverse data and identities are anything but locked to any instance. All my Hubzilla and (streams) channels are nomadic and cloned across two fully independent servers each. I could make more clones, I could declare any clone the new main instance, and no matter which server goes offline, my channels will carry on.

Each of these servers corresponds not to an ATmosphere PDS and not to a full ATmosphere PDS/relay/AppView stack either, but to a Mastodon server, only that these servers use something else than ActivityPub as their primary protocol and ActivityPub only as an optional extra protocol. However, with the creation of Forte in August, 2024, this technology was first implemented entirely with ActivityPub.

This technology is neither new nor experimental; in fact, it has been around for longer than Mastodon, much less Bluesky: It was conceived in 2011 and first implemented on a precursor of Hubzilla in mid-2012.
