Where they differ is in the “culture” they come from and push.
#bluesky comes from surveillance capitalism, it’s from the #dotcons and has meany of the same assumptions, just “better”.
#Nostr comes from the #encryptionists and #bitcoin bro crew and suffers from being from this mess.
#activitypub is #openweb native and comes from the #4opens traditions the whole software world is actually built on.
#KISS

@witchescauldron@kolektiva.social Thanks for explaining these differences, although I think they're already well known among Fediverse users. My point is that we should focus on collaborating with people who have made different choices, despite the shortcomings of their preferred platforms. After all, the Fediverse has its own problems too, including a lack of diversity. If our goal is to reduce Big Tech's influence over democracy, we need allies beyond our own communities. #Democracy #BigTech
