Chris TrottierJust realized that most people talking to me about Bluesky don't know about DIDs, don't care, and are clueless about its benefits.
And this is a big problem for Bluesky because that's the one thing that AT protocol has over ActivityPub.
For better or worse, Mastodon has spent the past 6 months educating newbies about the benefits of decentralization -- and now we're all able to have a discussion about it.
Folks on Bluesky are still oblivious about decentralization, don't know that Bluesky is supposed to be a decentralized service -- and might not react well when other servers start to federate with it.
Oblomov@atomicpoet do we even know if BlueSky actually supports federation, and the AT protocol?
@oblomov I hope someone creates a simple server software with AT protocol and tries to connect with Bluesky.
s4if@atomicpoet @oblomov I think someone will tinker with AT protocol the moment BlueSky release some sort of reference implementation library and commited to federated with third party server.
And I imagine someone will try to make AP-AT bridge like that one with Nostr.
Heck I also can imagine someone will fork Masto-api aware apps like pleroma or gotosocial (or even mastodon itself) then modified that to use AT protocol instead of activitypub.
Imagine, you use mastodon official apps to access AT protocol network, it will be hillarious.. 😬
