Observations:
Today #bigtech social media looks & feels like TV to me. Consume whatever each platform owners' algorithms serve.
#ATProto's ecosystem seems focused on reach & broadcasting. #ActivityPub's ecosystem seems focused on interaction. Is this the diff between #SocialMedia Vs #SocialNetworks? Newschool vs Oldschool Internet?
Would be nice if these #protocols become interoperable. Technically solvable, but I wonder are the 'cultures(?) 'interoperable as well? Thoughts?
"[..] Protocol compatibility is not cultural compatibility – nor should it be. There is no global town square online, and experience shows that trying to build one is a recipe for conflict. [..] The internet’s healthiest spaces are not uniform but neighbourly, many different gatherings, each with its own atmosphere, connected by shared roads. You can visit, stay, or go home, but you don’t have to merge all the gatherings into one."
