I don’t want BlueSky to win or Mastodon to win. They’re both open systems. I want to have clients so good I can browse both and not even know which platform each person is on.

Toot

If I’m browsing the Web, I don’t care whether the site I’m using is on HTTP/1, HTTP/2, or HTTP/3. They’re all completely different protocols but the browser just does its thing regardless. Sure I can find out if I want to, but why would I?

Sure the capabilities are different. BlueSky has videos, Mastodon has polls. Feeds are very different. Covering up the differences may be a bit tricky but shouldn’t be impossible.

@dfeldman Eh, this is more like HTTP vs Gopher, eventually one will win.

Luckily though ActivityPub isn't the first protocol Mastodon ever supported so if AT Protocol wins Mastodon can just migrate over.

And Bluesky similarly is also open source so they could migrate if need be also, though I doubt they would without significant changes to ActivityPub considering how mission focused their work on AT Proto is.
