Again as a Dev, I have to disagree.
How can mastodon disappear? By definition, its on open platforms and self hosted solutions. It cant. And we are using the spec to talk right now.
And as a Dev AT really isn't easier to work with. I've tried hooking it up multiple times and while I can do it, its such a pain. And debug is pretty terrible experience. But its a an opinion on both sides.
You seem very invested in the protocol. Why if I may ask?
Have you built anything on AP? It's a pain. A poorly documented headache inducing pain.
I didn't say mastodon would disappear, I said it would cause irreparable damage to the network. Bluesky/atproto won't disappear without Bluesky PBC, but it would cause irreparable damage to the network.
Obviously mastodon is in a better position for this to happen.
I'm not really invested in the protocol, I prefer AP honestly, but everyone here is annoyingly elitest about the fediverse.
Yep! Your using it now ;) at least a very little bit if your URL is correct.
A little bit of what? sorry, this makes no sense to me.
Lemmy.
Oh, right.
Yep, I like piefed a bit more. Much easier to work with and code is very well done. But I helped a bit on Lemmy back in the day. And some other fedi services. A very very small amount. Other devs are much more impressive.
I also tried creating a couple of AT services and helped a tiny bit of doc work. Didn't work out because of a variety of things. Mostly the pipes/thoughput you need, but also the setup. At the time there was no generic docker setup.
Anyways more than anyone wanted to know about all that. Now I just fart around on here.
Have you looked into jetstream?
I haven't. This it? https://gojetstream.io/docs/jetstream-api/2.9.3/index.html
No, this is: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/jetstream (probably should have linked to it, sorry :/ ) tl;dr, allows server side filtering, and uses json instead of DAG-CBOR
Ah yeah Google didn't come up with that. Coo
