For the majority of commenters: UX is not UI.

The poor UX experience is the research a person has to do before they can even participate. You need to have a basic understanding of how the network works, and then you have to shop around for a server.

It’s enough friction to prevent people from on-boarding and that’s not good for a platform that needs people to be valuable.

They didn’t, they signed up for gmail.

Earn points through generating content and moderation? Okay, sure, why not?

Use those points to weigh votes in community governance? Suuuure, okay I can see how that could be cool.

The points are on the blockchain? Uh… so what’s stopping rich assholes from buying up points and using their capital to take over communities?

If the points are non-transferable then I can see the merit of a points system… but then why would you need a blockchain at all? It’s all still a closed off walled garden despite what they are pitching.

It looks really cool! I’m going to be buying a new keyboard eventually and I really want one with a rotary knob. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.

I asked this in the original thread but I’ll repeat it here:

1. Are there any limitations with the ActivityPub protocol you find limiting? Do you have recommendations for future versions of the protocol?

2. Do you have any thoughts on the AT Protocol (a potential competitor to AP)?
