Successfully moved from mastodon.online to mastodon.social.

All that waffle in @theverge interview with Jay Graber about things such as Bluesky being better for portability, and AT Protocol being more centred around the user, and that somehow servers are bad, and... ah, I think @reckless1280 just didn't challenge her enough. I'd think what I'd much prefer is a proper panel debate, not a one-sideded AT evangelism/sales-pitch like that.

@hallenbeck @theverge @reckless1280 I recently migrated from firefish.city to atomicpoet.org. The process wasn’t smooth. 2,300 followers did not make the migration.

Account migration is better than no migration at all but true nomadic identity would be much better for the Fediverse.

Thankfully, a few people are working on ensuring ActivityPub has nomadic identity. It is nevertheless a work in progress.

Oh, Zot! Nomadic Identity is Coming to ActivityPub

One of the Zot's most powerful concepts for identity management and remote access is being ported to work on ActivityPub. It could change the Fediverse.

The work-in-progress aspects *generally* need to be more known about. This discussion was totally absent from Patel's interview with Graber. As @evan put it “The most important thing about ActivityPub is that it’s extensible”
