ActivityPub over ATProto

rapnie•about 2 hours ago

(2023) but worth being reposted, never got a good HN discussion. Between 8 and 12 July there's DWebCamp [0] and many experts and devs on both protocols are present, so opportunity for some good cross-pollination here.

Damn, I could've been there, if I'd known about it

Will content from dwebcamp be online for those unable to make it?

rapnie•34 minutes ago

I think so, yes. The videos of the last camp are online as well at https://dwebcamp.org/videos

RSS/webmention > ActivityPub > ATProto

I don't disagree with the sentiment as I love RSS, but doesn't it have a different use case than ActivityPub or ATProto?

Huge fan of this concept.

I can easily install an ActivityPub server, with Glitch.

Show me the ATProto server that can integrate with BlueSky.

A PDS? Here: https://blog.bront.rodeo/setting-up-your-own-pds/

Want your own AppView so you can have nekusar.net and post your messages and people on BSky see it ? https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/atproto

ActivityPub zealots would do well to calm down for one second, this can't be good for your heart man.

Never used it, but I've seen some praise for Snac as an easy to deploy activitypub server

Can you? The same Glitch that shut down last year? https://blog.glitch.com/post/goodbye-glitch

Regardless, ActivityPub and ATProto have different designs and goals. Your question is akin to comparing a helicopter and an airplane.

There's no such thing as a "ATProto server". How complicated it is, and the trade-offs it made are valid criticisms of it. It all depends on what exactly your goal is as a participant of a distributed social network.

What does ATProto run on, if not servers? Is it fully decentralised mesh P2P that runs on phones?
