@manton I keep being on the fence with the distinction between my blog (with RSS) and ActivityPub, where I'll just post links when I make an entry.

micro.blog sure makes a strong case for it, though, and I guess ActivityPub could be like WebMention with existing traction.

@jesse Some flexibility is good, because not everyone is going to want the same thing for their posts. Personally, I’m a big believer in a domain name as the basis for the web identity across platforms. Just simpler for it to all be automatic.

Are you thinking blog as both ActivityPub and AT Protocol together, not one or the other? And not through cross posting like Bluesky is now?

@jarrod I’m still in the “wait and see” approach to Bluesky, but yes, in theory Micro.blog would fully federate with Bluesky via AT Proto, with cross-posting just as an option if someone wants to maintain separate accounts.

I’m enjoying watching micro.blog become an example of what Federation could be: not either/or but both/and.

(In terms of protocols, at least)

@adders Thanks! I think “both/and” works for us. I’m opinionated about a lot of things, but we should err on the side of more connectivity / openness.

Cool!
