AT Protocol Overview
Learn what AT Protocol is, how Bluesky uses it, and why it matters for identity, portability, moderation, and the open social web. -

Some really great updates in Mastodon's latest Trunk & Tidbits blog post, including, from the W3C Social Web working group notes, a note on LOLA, a "proposal for live online account portability between two ActivityPub servers".

Matrix's statement on the recent Discord announcement and recent challenges with age verification…
https://matrix.org/blog/2026/02/welcome-discord/
Account portability would be a great thing. Mastodon's portability isn't perfect, it has some notable limitations, but it's nice you can at least take a number of things with you across servers as your needs dictate.
People need to be able to move around. No system should be a prison, and platforms where we can move if we need to are exactly what the world needs right now.

"I love seeing people like BlueSky try things with AT Protocol where it has true account portability across servers ..."
#RyanBarrett, 2024
https://flipboard.video/w/2Jj46hJaUQQG5TuiBYi9TR
Well ... not really. It solves the problem by getting rid of independent servers. Replacing them with portable account islands ("PDS"), that are totally dependent on a connection with a Titter-scale platform ("Relay" + "AppView") to do anything.

Composable moderation is one of the things ATProto/BlueSky gets right, along with account portability between data stores. I wonder how much of this can be added to fediverse software using the Zot creator's FEPs? Which I assume are being implemented in his new project called Forte;

Правильно ли я понимаю, что основной минус #ActivityPub в том что он обречён быть маленьким, ведь если допустить, что какая-нибудь Ким Кардашьян заглянет в какой-либо инстанс, приведя с собой миллионы активных "фоловеров", то сервак упадёт...

I wonder when we'll see custom domain #WebFinger in the #Fediverse / #ActivityPub ?
For example, I want to use:
* @-live.youronly.one for my #Streams account
* @-sns.youronly.one for my #Firefish account
* @-photos.youronly.one for my #Pixelfed account
* @-mblog.youronly.one for my #Mastodon account
* @-reading.youronly.one for my #BookWyrm accountIdeally, even if I move to a new host/service, I can use the same WebFinger.

@[email protected] Hmm…
#Hubzilla and #Streams have #AccountPortability or #NomadicIdentity for years now (which is what #BlueSky is trying to own as “first”).
You can import your content from #Mastodon to #Calckey (the devs are also looking into making it even better).
#Pixelfed recently launched content import from #Instagram.
If I am not mistaken, there are other on-going discussions from key players into making account portability an integral part of #ActivityPub. (Or something like that.)

I am somewhat conflicted about quotes. I don't feel QT-ing prejudice against #neurodiverse into our groups/circles as some sort of dunking opportunity would improve our day for many of us, just amplify concerns about societal attitudes. Also...
Personally, having (valid) questions, criticisms & professional experiences relating to Brexit debate QT'ed in to the Brexiter circles and therefore getting dogpiled, harassed & threatened was an extremely unpleasant experience on birdsite.
However, that said I've been using QT on Calckey and enjoying the convenience and encountered no problems so far.
The issues may well be a question of community standards and moderation more than it is really a question of toolsets.
I do wonder if people wanting QT should be told, "make a Calckey account" (for example) and not "You are wrong to want QT". I have probably been more worried about QT existing than I should have been, as it seems to be used differently (so far) here in the Fediverse.

I'm also excited to see what pixelfed will bring in. I confess I still haven't checked out Friendica Peertube Kbin +others yet. One day in the long term replacing much of Spotify and Youtube with Fediverse services that actually directed patronage to content creators not mainly to CEOs & shareholders is a nice dream. #Calckey #Mastodon #AccountPortability #Social #Fediverse -

Calckey is a cool social platform, similar to Mastodon. The *key apps are big in Asia & growing rapidly in west. Has a great UI and lots of fun features. I'd really recommend making an account to check it out for yourself, it's easy to do and there is no drawback.
Export your follows.csv
Use https://calckey.org/join/ to pick a server to make an account on, doesn't really matter about server too much, like most fedi stuff.
Then upload your follows.csv
Bingo you can experience fediverse super easily another way easily seeing people you follow because of all that cool inter platform co-operation stuff in the underlying protocol.
Big thing about Calckey is you can upload posts from other servers and other social platforms, like Mastodon (not with media just yet, that's coming) #calckey #mastodon #social #accountPortability -

Having my followings.csv just be created on request and dropped into my Calckey drive (so I can then upload it to my Mastodon account @[email protected] so I follow my people from both accounts) is just one of the coolest things ever!
Awesome feature, super useful native storage in platform on Calckey and awesome Fediverse functionality generally. Social platforms that aren't fighting each other, but co-operating effectively and you see your circle from all of them! So cool. #Calckey #Mastodon #AccountPortability #Social #Fediverse -

@[email protected] Nope. The #Fediverse is using the #ActivityPub protocol approved as a web standard by the @[email protected] While BS is using its own protocol without any translation between their protocol and AP protocol.
If in the future they decide to create a translation, then it is possible. For example, #Hubzilla and #Streams use its own #Zot protocol for features like #AccountPortability (#NomadicIdentity) which allows you to be on different servers at the same time, and they synchronize. (If one goes down, just use another where you already setup previously.) And other Zot-based features. It also supports the #diaspora protocol.
The key there, correct me if I'm wrong, is there is a built-in translation between Zot and ActivityPub; and Zot and diaspora.
Another is #Socialhome. It supports both ActivityPub and diaspora.
So, if BS decides to support AP later, it is possible. Or, they won't, just like how mainline diaspora software decided not to connect to the fediverse.
(I hope it wasn't an information overload.) -
