pretty neutral on activitypub the protocol. a lot of it derived from pump protocol which existed first (I know evan p. worked on both) but the fact is that mastodon took off before activitypub and while a good move to switch, didn't strictly need to switch to continue its momentum. the reason people came was because of mastodon's user interface.
@Moon ActivityPub is a bloated piece of shit. twtxt is where it's at. It's RSS but for microposts.
@xianc78 twttxt is a bad protocol imo
@Moon Have you tried it? I'm considering adding a feed for my site.
@xianc78 in the interest of fairness i'll read it over again because the last time i read it was right after it was introduced. one thing that really stuck out to me was that your file just grows forever.
oh i didn't know about that, I'll read it, thanks!
