My argument for #ActivityPub over #ATProtocol is simple: if ATProtocol rules supreme, what will compete against #Bluesky’s firehose?

How many nodes are there on AT Protocol?

How many unique services that don’t resemble Twitter run on AT Protocol?

But above all, what happens if Bluesky gets bought by Musk or Zuckerberg?

With the Fediverse, we got established decentralization. Not theoretical—something that exists in the far off future—but decentralization that is here and now.

#FreeOurFeeds steps for an enshittification-proof digital future:

"First, Free Our Feeds wants to create a nonprofit foundation to govern and protect the #ATProtocol, outside of #Bluesky the company.

We also need to build redundant #servers so all users can leave with their data or build anything they want—regardless of policies set by Bluesky.

Finally, we need to spur the development of a whole #ecosystem built on this tech with seed money and expertise."
