I ran a BBS in the 90's. ActivityPub and XMPP are what it was before the corporate takeover. I love it.
@exiliaex never heard of cohost
as far as i know cohost was made people who wanted mastodon to be good but got really annoyed with the drama between instances. so, no federation, no instances, no ads, just chronological posts (with some markdown capabilities for fun visuals of posts)
https://cohost.org/
masto - everyone does what they want, you connect to who you want, you disconnect from who you want, you either voluntarily submit to someone else's rules or you set up your own
cohost - no ads, no corps, but control is maintained via a small vanguard
twitter - 'to keep making money we've decided to embrace white supremacists, transphobia, anti-semitism - when that inevitably doesn't work out we're going to monetize more and more and more aspects that were once offered for free!'
bsky - 'we'll compete with the fascists by making the exact same product but Friendlier™'
