william.maggos<p>Exits are not enough. We must push for at least as many social media servers as we have web/email servers today. If you put out content or have a public presence, you should want it to be social to ensure that no person, corporation or govt can limit your reach. That everyone who will be interacting with your work is also similarly free to share it, w/o competing with ads/algos.

damon<p>Federation means very little, can it somewhat be a game of cat and mouse if the government is incompetent or doesn’t care much. But, it’s nothing to apply harassment and significant amounts of pressure on server admins, these are real people with real life’s &amp; friends and families. There’s also the great firewall of China which many know how problematic that is. It’s also trivial for governments to apply pressure to ISPs and server providers. Federation isn’t some silver bullet, nor are people immune to anxiety due to threads by people in power. But, keep pointing your fingers and pretending the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> is so much more resilient.

Nick Gerakines<p>Been thinking about how we could support access-controlled blobs in ATProtocol. Right now, all blobs are public - anyone can fetch them with a CID. But what if we could gate them? <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23atproto" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atproto</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23atdev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atdev</a> 🧵<br><br><a href="https://gist.github.com/ngerakines/f50c17a2c2d50d67c0276aa54147ab22" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">private_blobs.md</a></p>

At present, the user base of software such as Hubzilla, Forte etc. (which have these features) is negligible. And at least in case of Hubzilla (which I am using), the UI and UX needs a lot of work; don't know about Forte (which is based on ActivityPub).<br><br>And yes, all the other problems with the Fediverse that you listed will still remain.
