Bridgy Fed made a splash earlier this week by announcing its latest progress in connecting the Fediverse to Bluesky and Nostr. Sadly, not everyone was welcoming.

Mastodon and many others do not “properly” implement ActivityPub and have a ton of their own extensions and implementations

But do they ignore existing implementations of a feature when they want to add that feature? And make it crappier when federated?

Threads has implemented both ActivityPub implementations of quote posting: it uses the Misskey quote posting system, and also implemented fep-e232 (which is a better version of quote posting, but not implemented by any major platform), so that they are already immediately compatible with platforms that use the FEP version.

Mastodon ignores the current implementations of quote posting, and wants to do their own new implementation so that they can add granular control.
