No Man’s Blue Sky

There is a mass exodus from X/Twitter to Blue Sky. It’s no surprise for some feel the content quality has massively eroded. Others welcome the changes and stay on the platform. Blue Sky is essentially a clone of Twitter to the UI itself. However, it uses its own AT Protocol.

Admittedly, I’m not an expert on protocols, but I wish Blue Sky would use ActivityPub; one already recommended by W3 already. It feels like this is a Bitcoin to Ethereum to Solana argument with performance and capability, but ActivityPub would have easily welcomed it more to the Fediverse.

In the mean time, I’m using OpenVibe as my social app. There is progress with this, but would prefer a universal protocol and point of origin of posts. My perspective is until there is federation of personal graphs, algorithms, and data, we’re continuously flipping back and forth on monolithic apps.
