“All a ‘true ActivityPub server’ is for is storing data, fanning out subscriptions and collecting incoming data for you to view. #ActivityPub was originally designed so that all of the data presentation layers—Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed—would be specialized clients communicating with the generic server. But the first popular apps cut out the client-to-server part of the protocol, so people think you need a separate identity for every client application. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45396517
@evan @wjmaggos ... but that's not what the question is asking. It's intent, and the #atproto and #activitypub in the question aren't referring to specifications, they're referring to communities.
@blaine @wjmaggos The first question asked by the poll is "Would you like to see full default interoperability between #ATproto and #ActivityPub without a bridge?"
The second question is "what's preventing this".
With the addition of the @ktistec account, Ktistec (the server) now supports multiple users.
I still have a few rough edges to fix, but there's a good chance official multi-user support will be included in the next release.

Would you like to see full default interoperability between #ATproto and #ActivityPub without a bridge? (what's preventing this...)
apparently someone is hostign a activitypub instance on a ps4...

Merke: Mit #GeoIP Blocking „US“ zu blockieren ist schon mal keine gute Idee, wenn man das #ActivityPub Plugin in #Wordpress verwendet… mastodon.sdf.org steht nämlich in den US 😅

No complaints... I more content is better, and more backups are better. But I don't believe #Misskey supports changing the behavior, from maximalist to minimalist file hosting (proxy content cacheing).
Someday when I get rich, I'll put a little bit of money (or just have enough free time) to build a fully customizable #ActivityPub backend to my liking.

I'm talking about replying to other people, sending content from here to there that gets stored there.
On some instances I've replied with a video and the other instance just stores a 3-second GIF thumbnail. When you actually play it on their site, the actual src= is pointing to subs4social.
File downloads too, like the big txt, are linked to the subs4social.
I've sent replies with 6 images attached and only 4 show on the other instance.
Every #ActivityPub implementation is a bit different, and sites have lots of tricks of the trade to avoid storing arbitrarily large #replies from other instances.
