mastodon is far, far, far more interesting than bluesky

this article is literally an ad piece

I heard that interview and have been casually digging into ActivityPub.

BSKY does account for a few more situations that ActivityPub currently doesn’t.

One is pluggable algorithms. This way you’re not tied to one kind of ordering in your feed.

Another is layered moderation so you can adjust automated vs human moderation policies.

And the last one is how to transport all your stuff to a different server under several different lockout scenarios. I’m still not clear which one’s better if your server just disappears or gets locked out.

In the long run, though, there has to be just one service. You can’t have Mastodon, Bsky, and Threads each with different functionality and incompatible islands.

The best type of ad is one that passes for something else, like journalism.
