full account migration could leverage a trusted third party service that simply serves authorization attestation (also for in the event the origin becomes unavailable), allowing remote servers to simply rewrite data/relations without having to delete and refetch.
ap devs: let's chat about this, I'm already building this for Loops and Pixelfed

How To Bullshit Your Way Through a Conversation about ActivityPub
I (Evan) will be giving talk at Fediforum 26-04 next week, April 28, 2026, on the exciting topic of faking your way through ActivityPub conversations. Here's the description: "One of the best bluffers in the field of distributed social networks gives you just enough knowledge about ActivityPub to sound smarter than everyone around you. In this talk, Evan will cover the essential architecture of ActivityPub, what works and what doesn't, and what is coming up next for the standard. You'll walk […]So I've got #Kotlin + #Javalin + #HTMX + #Maven + #Freemarker + #ProgressiveEnhancement + #DesignSystem + #Playwright working. Now the question is: do I call it a day or do I add #ActivityPub integration?

Yes, the blog is written entirely with perspective and focus on evolution of the #ActivityPub fediverse.
#ATProto has the advantage of its prudent protocol development approach, and that it could 'stand on the shoulders of giants' to apply lessons-learned from the past. The luxury position of a tight team of protocol developers unbound by a formal design-by-consensus process in a greenfield environment, and with due attention paid to protocol robustness and quality of specifications makes ATProto an attractive choice. Most importantly the protocol does not leave gaping misconceptions unaddressed.
ATProto is not the opposite of working at standard level, but rather an exemplar of it. But that depends how you look at it. As a solution developer you do not have to care about the protocol intrinsics, and just get exposed to solid API's and intuitive #design concepts the protocol already specified and dictated to #protocol implementers.
#GrassrootsStandards do the same for fedi.
Hey fediverse tech experts, let's say I wanted to have an activist news website that featured a;
* blog operated by a specific group of people. Syndicating stories and accepting replies over both ActivityPub and ATProto
* newswire that worked like an open Lemmy community, so people can add a story to the newswire just by @mentioning it
* calendar of events that worked like a Mobilizon group
Is there any combo of existing tech I could use to put this together?
(1/2)
on the atmosphere, there is an incentive to implement better functionalities because any user can change service at zero cost; on the fediverse i feel like it's the opposite: there is no real incentive in embracing new software because it's more a risk than anything else and it's not like you can bring your own instance data on another software without costs.

Of course there is Mastodon Social, the flagship server of the Mastodon platform. It is operated by the Mastodon development team itself, and the largest server in the #ActivityPub #Fediverse.
