BlueSky was created by Jack, and he could have picked ActivityPub, but he didn't.

You know why most fedi developers have such a distaste for BlueSky?

Oh right, it's because Jack saw a need for monetization that couldn't work without a centralized infra.

Then he abandoned BS.

As much as you may think the SWF wants to bring ads to your fedi feed, I'm pretty sure you'll see ads on BlueSky first.

But the real ones will keep building, where it matters.

Today I'd like to see Jack, Matt, and Elon on an island.

@dansup@mastodon.social nothing wrong with ads

[-] dansup@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@russell@podcastindex.social True, but on the fediverse, you or admins should have some level of control over them right?

I think it’s okay for instances to serve ads, because people can make informed decisions about what they join!

@dansup@mastodon.social agree, but would be great to see a way to support fediverse platforms other than donate or send SATs to them.

@dansup@mastodon.social I was really hoping that Jack would use ActivityPub at the time, and disappointed when he didn’t. It felt like such a big missed opportunity.

@dansup@mastodon.social but activitypub/mastodon is not fully functional at least yet, for example https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25699
