It seems clear to me that the tech press, even those friendly to decentralization, are only interested in Threads, Bluesky, and whatever new idea some other VC fund or billionaire come up with. Mastodon and AP are mentioned in passing if at all. That's unfortunate. It's not just a chasing the money thing because it's the likes of people who have proven not to succumb to that, I'm not naming names. We on the D* and AP side of the fediverse, or social web as I have heard people call it recently, can still go about our business improving things incrementally and doing what we've always done. If another wave comes and we catch it fine. The tech press and pundits, even fediverse friendly ones, have sadly moved on. Ironically most of the articles I see on why they like Bluesky more than Mastodon, the rest of the fediverse doesn't get recognized at all ever and never has by these same people again except maybe in passing, are reasons why I haven't liked my Bluesky experience (which I've thankfully integrated into the Friendica part of the fediverse I reside in thanks to its bridge). But anyway...back to incremental improvement and growth and doing our own thing with the "normies" not considering us a valid option for the time being again. #rant #fediverse #bluesky #mastodon #friendica

in reply to Hank G ☑️ • • •AP has significant problems, for certain. I’d love to see any improvement, but none appears to be happening. As standards-based messaging protocols go, email remains the champion. It was developed outside a profit motive, with simple, well-defined protocols for c2s and s2s, and largely unimpeachable by third parties (“don’t fix email” is an axiom for a reason).
My guess is that rather than improvements to AP, we’ll see a new, ground-up replacement for it that addresses its many shortcomings.
