💻️ Reading BlueskyがActivityPubを採用しなかった3つの理由 (Three reasons why Bluesky didn’t adopt ActivityPub)
This page discusses why Bluesky chose not to adopt ActivityPub, the open protocol used by Mastodon and others, and opted to make its own, ATProtocol.
- Architectural Differences: ActivityPub’s model did not align with Bluesky’s vision for scalability and flexibility.
- User Experience: Integrating with ActivityPub could have limited Bluesky’s control over its features and user experience.
- Technical Challenges: Compatibility with existing ActivityPub networks would require significant adjustments that might compromise Bluesky’s goals.
AT Proto addresses these by improving:
- Scalability: Designed to handle higher traffic and expand seamlessly.
- Modular Flexibility: Allows customization without being constrained by the limitations of ActivityPub.
- User Data Portability: Focuses on improving data interoperability between platforms.
🤔 The author equates ATProto to solving for “Big Fedi” while still maintaining the nimbleness within to handle “Small Fedi” ideals on a granular scale. This is as opposed to Mastodon’s catering to “Small Fedi,” only. Oh what are these anyway? It’s a concept that Evan Prodromou (@evan@cosocial.ca) outlined in his blog post here defining two schools of thought regarding social networks. It’s highly encouraged to read through that post and perhaps even drop him a line if you’re interested in these topics.
At some point I’ll give my thoughts and post them over on the main starrwulfe.xyz blog once I unpack them, and also how I’m doing this with some #indieweb secret sauce; stay tuned! 📺️
Working on the #indieweb #fediverse #bluesky workflow with micro.blog.
⏰ It’s gonna take me so much time to straighten out my micro.blog stuff. But I’m here for it I guess.
Dilemma of the moment:
should I keep it @starrwulfe@abc.starrwulfe.xyz or revert to @starrwulfe@starrwulfe.xyz which is dormant now.
- how many people follow @starrwulfe@abc.starrwulfe.xyz? I’m using micro.blog so I can’t get a follow count.
- I have no idea if “moving” followers to the new domain is possible like a regular Mastodon account swap would be.
- I kinda wish I could separate the activitypub redirect from my webserver and redirect it to a minimal install of honk or something similar just so I could keep both ActivityPub instances going. Does Cloudflare offer a way to do this?
- Could I do this with Bridgy Fed and the current blog? Seems like a question for @manton@manton.org and @snarfed.org@snarfed.org.

Since everyone has a hot take on Bluesky vs Threads vs Mastodon vs Xitter and everyone else, it’s time for me to reheat my long ass post I made about this 10 months ago:
💁🏾♂️ On the subject of Connecting Federated Social Media Networks
Again, 何ぜ両方もう出来ないの？
Microblogging tool of the moment: Public.me, a tool the lets you do microblogging with just iMessage. From the same guy that also made a tool to make small websites out of notes.app.
Follow me for examples here: 🌟 starrwulfe.public.me 🐺 starrwulfe.montaigne.io
Now… how can I tie this back to my main blog and microblog…? 🤔

Thanks again @newsguy.bsky.social / @w7voa@journa.host for signing my copy!
Was supposed to be a memoir, is now a guide to what may come. 🙄
OK. Time to wrangle the dang blog over at starrwulfe.xyz into submission…
Time for another random #Japan #train post…

Holy $&£+!! It happened:
One of my more internet savvy older relatives asked me about #fediverse, #indieweb and #bluesky. The fallout from this stupid election is going to be the salvation of open social media platforms.
You bet your sweet chestnuts I’m advocating my @$$ off 🗣️
Question to all the other micro.bloggers out there:
How are you using it?
- regular blog?
- cross posting?
- book tracking?
- note keeping?
- photo blogging?
I’m keen to check out some not-so-usual ways as well, so please let me know!
I’m not sure what to think this morning. This is a text from my daughter as she rode the bus to middle school.
😔 I don’t care how good the policies are, I cannot get with someone who is an adjudicated rapist, convicted of 34 felony charges, constantly whines, berates, and belittles anyone he’s at odds with, literally incited a deadly riot in the Capitol, and seemingly wants to strip us for parts and turn what’s left into an autocratic regime. 🤷🏾♂️ How am I supposed to explain this to my kids?
