Subnostr

True that. I was in the working group that made activity pub. We really pushed hard for them to follow standards on identity that would have made all of this SO much easier. Got 80% of the way there, I think. In retrospect, could have been better, but could have been a whole lot worse. A decent AP / Nostr integration could help, but of course, the way things are now, folks are tribal. Discovery can actually be quite good on AP as it theoretically inherits from Linked Data. Not sure on the algorithm front ... isnt it just pluggable?

Well I’m just thinking of all the heavy lifting required for servers to actually curate and feed the data. It’s way more processing power required right? Each person would have their own algorithm. Or custom algorithms like Bluesky has where they are off on their own servers

But also, there’s a lot of blacklisting of whole servers in the ActivityPub world. It severely limits the *amount* of data accessible to the algorithm itself.
