I recently had a discussion with a friend on Bluesky who knows more about the inner workings of the platform, and it pretty much solidified what I already thought was going on behind the scenes with ATproto, which seems to be a lot more complex than the system behind AP, however it did seem to improve on it to an extent simply by splitting up different parts of the “social media pipeline”. I was curious what people here think of it

Ps: I really don’t mean to proselytize about one or the other!! I think it’s good that both exist. Although it does raise me the question of wether protocol diversification is good…

    I don’t see any glaring issues with ActivityPub that appear to be solved with these alternatives.

    The alternatives look like they’re not as open, though, so that leads me to believe they only exist to sucker people who don’t know any better onto yet another proprietary platform.
