This may not be a very popular opinion around here ("Nostrrrrr Onlyyyyyyy" influencer battle cry noises), but I’m happy for the Fediverse and have built a bit around it as well—though not as much as I do here on Nostr.
Sure, ActivityPub (and Mastodon in particular) has its own architectural problems to overcome. I genuinely think Nostr's approach to identity and content distribution is superior. Nevertheless, as far as I’m concerned, ActivityPub, Nostr, and Tim Berners-Lee’s Solid project (which, for some reason, seems to get close to zero airtime on Nostr) are the good guys of the emerging decentralised web. I want all of these projects to succeed. All of them!
Bluesky is the only emerging network I’m unsure about. I’m not impressed by the AT Protocol and have my doubts about whether it will ever become a fully decentralised ecosystem. The “self-hosted PDS = decentralisation” is a sweet, sweet lie (well intended or not). Also, I have no evidence that anyone but companies with deep pockets will ever be able to run full AT stack solutions at scale.
