npub1ks4j70qusuv7hnaqcrr3azks95fxjpz4sx29sy9h35z3vltwaunsmdx88p (npub1ks4…x88p) I think this really highlights the ActivityPub design decision to centralize around instances instead of decentralizing down to users.
By default the experience is subject to the moderation decisions of an instance operator unless the user decides to opt out by giving up the technical and other advantages of the instance and making his own.
Sounds like nostr goes the other direction, letting the user be in control from the beginning, adding in others’ moderation assistance if they want.
In my personal opinion, the ActivityPub instance orientation was the wrong decision with this being just one of the downsides, but the horse is out of the barn now.
The history of technology is littered with better options being left behind as mediocre ones were in the right place at the right time to reach critical mass.
