Should ActivityPub and ATProtocol be Potentially Merged into a Single Protocol? (lemmy.world)

I know that this will most likely get me a ton of downvotes, but I’m genuinely curious: should ActivityPub and ATProtocol potentially be merged into one unified protocol?

If they were combined, Fediverse users and ATmosphere users could enjoy the benefits of each other’s ecosystems—like richer content interaction, better moderation tools, and more seamless identity management.

Bluesky and Mastodon users could interact natively without relying on bridging bots like Bridgy Fed.

Would merging the protocols strengthen decentralized social media, or would it create more complexity and friction between communities?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

That is the opposite of what this thread is about.

No, it’s really not; this is exactly what this thread is about if you apply a little foresight
