"The most extreme scenario is the pathway we're currently on. Anything else is less radical. Visioning a positive future and taking action on that basis is the best treatment for anxiety and despair" James McKay at #DoTP25

ActivityPods - Personal data spaces powered with ActivityPub
Brings together ActivityPub and Solid Pods and empowers developers to create truly decentralized applications.
@pfrazee.com @jay.bsky.team are you following the activitypods.org/roadmap/ it's an identity provider that supports OIDC/Solid & ActivityPub.
There is a solid.github.io/did-method-s... spec

I guess I imagine a world where Atproto auth is developed into solid.github.io/did-method-s... then Bsky run an ActivityPod instance to provide that auth service. The ActivityPub provision is an entirely incidental side benefit.

If Bsky was to run an instance of that, and use it for your DID auth then as a user I would get a portable identity that I could use with Atproto, ActivityPub & Solid. It could also provide OIDC for legacy webapps

Armistice day day, so the home secretary invited a bunch of seig-heiling, swastika tatted dickheads to the cenotaph, where they proceeded to fight the police.
God it's embarrassing to be British sometimes.

They shall not grow stuffed crusts
As we that are left grow stuffed crusts
Age shall not add pineapple to them
Nor other novelty toppings
At the cooking of the poppy pepperoni pizza
And in the morning for leftovers
We will remember them

I used to see network maps of Bluesky users with named clusters around communities like trans shitposters, Japan, etc, do those still exist and get updated?

Silicon Valley says it loves innovation and new ideas.
The main idea for social networks that has never been tried is making AGGRESSIVE MODERATION the main product and trading GROWTH SPEED for COMMUNITY HEALTH.
But that will never get funded by the libertarian men of venture capital.

Maybe. I don't think the relatively small number of people here are that relevant in the scheme of things. I think Mastodon has some sub-optimal UX.

I think Mastodon would gain more adoption if the default interface was more 'birdy' eg https://elk.spore.social/home
People arrive here and understand the familiar UX
