Good, though more of a WordPress alternative. I’d like to see actual substack alternative in the fediverse, with the ability for users to pay authors for their work, via subscription, as substack does.
I know people are worried about monetization in the fediverse but authors need payment for their work. Subscriptions don’t have the same perverse incentives as advertising.
Flipboard ceo has mentioned he is supportive of the idea.
Linkblocks needs some branding work.
It’s not implemented in mastodon or lemmy though. I’m not saying it can’t be implemented, but it hasn’t been in any platform.
The move activity ain’t a great solution. We need federated identity or else ux will continue to lag. When I want to move servers, I can set the move activity but there’s no guarantee my followers will subscribe to the new account. It’s bad ux. Mass adoption is not going to happen with that kind of flow.
Activity Pods is cool bit not implemented on mastodon.
There are important features that ATPro has that activity pub doesn’t. I’d prefer activity pub be the winner but they really need to improve some things. Namely, identity. Bluesky identity is more portable.
I believe the “free our feeds” people are working to change this though.
Subscriptions work with fediverse content though?
