@shreyan Most of what you are talking about in "ActivityPub" section is only true for Mastodon. #ActivityPub is much more capable.

>identity is extremely tied to your initial server
>Your data is not really portable

ActivityPub specification doesn't say that identity must be tied to a server. Identity can be tied to a secret key or a DID too, and users with different identity types can even communicate with each other.

Specifically, DID-based identity scheme has been proposed in FEP-ef61. Data portability easily follows from it.

So, with ActivityPub one can have everything that ATProto and Nostr offer, and much more.

www.w3.orgActivityPubThe ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and content.

@silverpill Sure. I intentionally focused on things that are part of the protocol and usable by everyone on the protocol, today. But it is very cool that those things *can* be achieved with ActivityPub at all!
