What are you thoughts about this?
I’m not sure ActivityPub is suitable for implementation of Lemmy/Kbin. ActivityPub seems to be a push (with retry) protocol, where if a message gets lost, the protocol doesn’t seem to have a means to recover synchronization. Theoretically, instances could verify synchronization on a periodic basis, but that would be a massive increase in traffic.

Well, one thought is that this blog post is from January 2019, and that a lot has changed since then. Among them is that a lot of different ActivityPub
implementations have become a lot more mainstream than Diaspora.
The author's stance might of course not have changed, but it seems to me this post is a bit too outdated to enter into a current discussion. Interoperability between ActivityPub services is working fine.

The article’s age invalidates any other discussion, IMO. Far far too much has changed, including all of the new implementations, and it needs another good re-assessment.

I wonder what would he think of the Nostr.
