In all this talk about whether AT protocol will "beat" ActivityPub, I just remembered something...

Jack Dorsey rarely hangs out on Bluesky! He prefers Nostr!

😮

If AT protocol was even close to being as good as the Tech Press hype machine makes it out to be, wouldn't he be hanging out on Bluesky more often -- instead of Nostr?

What does Nostr have for Jack that AT protocol doesn't?

🤔

@atomicpoet

If the AT protocol is open, surely it doesn't belong to Bluesky?

I don't get the idea of talking about them interchangeably?

AT vs AP is more like 50hz vs 60hz electricity supplies, rather than Apple vs Microsoft?

@FediThing They’re not interchangeable but Bluesky is the only node that uses AT protocol right now.

@atomicpoet

Or is AT somehow owned by Dorsey and company?

@FediThing AT is open source with an MIT license.

Bluesky itself is probably proprietary.

@atomicpoet I'd flip the question. If AT is good, why isn't it integrated with Wordpress yet? ActivityPub has a clear advantage, after being implemented into Wordpress via the plugin.
@atomicpoet Let me guess: Nostr has integrated crypto transactions.
@jnv @atomicpoet and Jack is highly enthusiastic with the future of crypto. But Nostr is filled with lots and lots of crypto bots :( Reminded me of Twitter in crypto boom era in 2020-21
@atomicpoet LOL an activity pub bridge..
