Use AS2. Use AS2. Use AS2. Making decentralized social media? Use AS2. This is not chat, it’s social media with a chat UI. You should use AS2. AT is a joke invented by nontechnical people. They had 1 good idea (updatedAt and use of At) everything else was not good for decentralization. AS2 is perfect for feeds of content especially when you want to nest other content e.g. a user posted a reply to a comment on a game. AT is centralized social media with cancer, stop using it.

AS2 as in Applicability Statement 2? Or Action Script 2? Edit: For the curious like myself, after more searching it seems to reference Activity Stream 2 which is a W3C standard used by ActivityPub (Mastodon, lemmy, etc)

  ActivityPub is more of a zombie project than ATProtocol at this point. AP has plenty of problems this fresh account made to disparage omits. I'm looking forward to a new protocol that combines the best of what we have with a robust permission system from the start.

    Seems you wanted to respond to the OP? I was mainly inquiring about what's AS2. > AP has plenty of problems this fresh account made to disparage omits. Isn't that a problem with moderation instead? If ATProto becomes decentralized someday, it'll have the same issue

      ATProto actually has a very good moderation design, user choice, anyone can label, and composable. Feeds are similarly well designed for federation. https://bsky.social/about/blog/03-12-2024-stackable-moderation https://bsky.social/about/blog/03-12-2024-stackable-moderati... > Seems you wanted to respond to the OP? yes

        The moderation tools depend on the implementation of AP, but what I meant is that you depend on each instance's moderation/moderators to be effective at combating spam (and more). A problem that ATProto will face once/if they really do get decentralized. If some instances are badly moderated, you will suffer the same as with AP

        AT does not have instances like AP. You are not tied to the moderation choices of servers. Apps are where moderation happens and is a place where competition can occur. Moderation also largely happens at the network layer, so apps can share moderation or use third party moderation (that is not tied to any app) It seems like you do not understand the architecture of ATProto and make claims that are not based in reality.
