My main concern with this is I don't know how well activity pub can scale, and we've already seen various interop problems between different types of platforms. And if email is any indication, once activitypub gets popular it will NEVER GO AWAY and all the developers will hate it.

Here is an interesting thread about activitypub's scalability https://hachyderm.io/@hrefna/110198847653604631

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm talking about, though I wish she was more specific

Why do you say email is hated?

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You'd get a better response if you asked a developer who has actually worked with it. But most of it comes down to bad, outdated, nonstandardized tech

Given ActivityPub is newer, I hope they've made it with less of the issues email has! Email as we know it is like, what, 40 years old at this point?
