Fediverse has it today, and most networks don&#39;t.<br/><br/>It is different from adversarial interop though. There are open systems, like email (gmail) and git (github) which have sort of lost this. I still think the interop in those systems is valuable. 2024-11-02T21:08:34Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2gg76delw9yk4e6wu8p6lae8jldahsrr8khdxxn7yl5k839jyvmczyrhg39sqkqkqtsfs42c747kmwlewxaj9syxqtz6stuaqa8t6jk765xkjlqs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs02qjwnqvqvavh277rp5l9wlpnayz3hl28hd9jvca0yt9ssxj270cynftql'>nevent1q…ftql</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yes!<br/><br/>moreover, those 100k followers would probably not even realize you changed service providers. you can use your own domain (which you own) as a handle. the authority for your content is you, not the service provider, so all your old content (in threads, interactions) continue to just work. 2024-11-02T20:50:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqchu0zmlckazx5j82ky2xz0g6qcq20436y3ae4zmymr746wcd8uczyrhg39sqkqkqtsfs42c747kmwlewxaj9syxqtz6stuaqa8t6jk765ud2qpq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxkcuy2fz60mgz049l3lex3yun82yd650huz8sfauqtmpg6qsfuycajmmly'>nevent1q…mmly</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it is confusing to read this because we have done basically everything you propose in the AT Protocol, and it has been live in the network for a long time now. ensuring that service migration is easy and seamless is literally one of the reasons we did *not* use ActivityPub.<br/><br/>You can read how easy the process is here:<br/><a href="https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/entries/Migrating%20PDS%20Account%20with%20%60goat%60">https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/entries/Migrating%20PDS%20Account%20with%20%60goat%60</a><br/><br/>On, I would mention, and independently run blogging service built on atproto! which bsky can&#39;t exclude/control 2024-11-02T18:53:58Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0aya4cdr89uftzravqtdwkzhyfk7de8s8gstqwztdtu9gc4ejskgzyrhg39sqkqkqtsfs42c747kmwlewxaj9syxqtz6stuaqa8t6jk76584lw6j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz2antuw25d92nf0dyun5klwt008vpjthmezl7x07neuhk0wzvw4s4ewta9'>nevent1q…wta9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We have brought some of our work to the W3C community, including the recent TPAC meeting:<br/><a href="https://social.coop/@bnewbold/113199431948755006">https://social.coop/@bnewbold/113199431948755006</a><br/>I&#39;ve had a Bluesky-affiliated W3C account for some time, and just joined the SocialCG just now (I thought I had done this previously, but apparently had only signed up for the mailing list) 2024-10-31T19:30:11Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9mj60j9ker4psn9g08v99qwd8t5ej8un7a3lj82w4066avvmwyeqzyrhg39sqkqkqtsfs42c747kmwlewxaj9syxqtz6stuaqa8t6jk765geeepd bluesky got more funding, and is working on several sustainable revenue models: subscriptions, domain registration, and payments.<br/><br/>work continues on atproto: tooling for independent Lexicon development; more docs/specs and testing for interop; more complete and documented SDKs<br/><br/><a href="https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a">https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a</a><br/><br/>#bluesky #atproto 2024-10-24T16:40:58Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9axpq4hrcuf0xy8dhhjylnvht73u9w8hknh66h44xc5y2adw7qfszyrhg39sqkqkqtsfs42c747kmwlewxaj9syxqtz6stuaqa8t6jk765evszwa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstm7a37u242y2jmcsr0py88c85qd3nfyyr6h4vvf23m4pwslgwe7cvd6t4j'>nevent1q…6t4j</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>to respond to your earlier request to have it be more obvious to opt-in in the bluesky-developed app: I think i&#39;d probably encourage the bridge to just be opt-out on the AT side?
