Thoughts on their protocol vs ActivityPub? ActivityPub seems to have inherent issues with scaling and authentication whereas Bluesky’s at:// protocol seems pretty robust at first glance.
Afaik from some folks who claim to have dug through the protocol: the protocol is needlessly complex with some very important parts of the network very unlikely to be decentralized (I think that was called relays) as it requires massive computing ressources.
The benefits of ActivityPub is that it is really really simple (basically just standardized json). Yes it has scaling issues, but those are solvable and partly just a sideeffect of actually being federated
What kind of scaling issues does the fediverse have? Is it due to instances needing to communicate with all federated peers?
yes, exactly that
Both approaches have a load the world problem.
