Are users... scared of federation?
Upon a cursory read, it sounds like you host a server and then relay all of your data through their centrally controlled system all while also pushing your account data to them.
I'm not sure they understand what "federated" means. Or rather, they know, but they're hoping we don't care.
Federated means you shoulder the cost of hosting the bits users care about, while they harvest all the value in what you post!
Soooo…. the work of self-hosting with none of the benefits? It sounds like this has all the core problems of Twitter.
TLDR; Sorta federation. It is possible to selfhost data.
Love random browsing lemmy and seeing posting screenshot with my bsky server :D
ATproto and activityPub aren't compatible are they? So we still need to wait for a bridge.
there is a bridge, but some parts of the fediverse got very mad about it

My feelings about it aside, are there any technical benefits to ATproto over ActivityPub?
