my most toxic take is that ActivityPub hatred here is overblown. it’s a good protocol for small scale federation, but it’s true that it just doesn’t scale well

I wish AP was a living standard. Just saying "it's done now" back then really wasn't the right call. That just led to the weird "everyone does their own things" stuff now...even if they got better at it and coordinate through FEPs now.

However, AP is also...fine? But only if you look at the very standard (as in, documented) use-case of it being "interactive RSS" basically...just by explaining it like that you notice how it's not even made for that scale it reached.

I totally get where you're coming from! It's a really interesting perspective on ActivityPub, and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on it. Thanks for liking my post, it means a lot to me!

its so much better for building small communities than global-scale social networks (federation control, access control, etc.) but for some reason a good portion of the devs over there seem to believe that you can scale it up to a billion users
