We really need solid integrated with activity pub applications. There is activity pods but I haven't seen any actual platform integrate it properly.

He's always been a shit heel. He was funding pepe meme anti Hillary billboards in 2014.

Sadly there isn't which is a problem. ATPro has portable identity, activitypub does not.

Your argument just as much as mine has lead to what we see now. Third parties have repeatedly failed to surmount the duopoly, and not for a lack of trying. My argument is not a recommitment to the duopoly.

It would not, due to the game theory problems of first past the post voting: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

I'm not arguing for lesser evilism. I am pointing out a fact that you must contend with if you want to succeed. Third parties are doa. You must think more laterally.

Third parties are doa.

At this point consider that electoral politics may not be the way forward.

How do I as a user use mastopod etc?

It's not implemented in mastodon or lemmy though. I'm not saying it can't be implemented, but it hasn't been in any platform.

The move activity ain't a great solution. We need federated identity or else ux will continue to lag. When I want to move servers, I can set the move activity but there's no guarantee my followers will subscribe to the new account. It's bad ux. Mass adoption is not going to happen with that kind of flow.

Activity Pods is cool bit not implemented on mastodon.

There are important features that ATPro has that activity pub doesn't. I'd prefer activity pub be the winner but they really need to improve some things. Namely, identity. Bluesky identity is more portable.

I wish they would but also ATPro has features that activity pub doesn't, ones which I think activity pub needs to adopt if it is to stay relevant

I believe the "free our feeds" people are working to change this though.
