I'm thrilled about the launch of @altstore's support for ActivityPub. Welcome to the fediverse!
This integration will enable you to follow updates from your favorite apps and their developers right here on your fediverse timeline.
You can see their server's local timeline here, to get an idea of what that looks like: https://explore.alt.store/public/local
To me, this represents an innovative and exciting new way to spread the social web to new and different kinds of apps and services. What should we make social next??
And a heartfelt thank you from the @Mastodon team to AltStore for their generous donation 💞

Uy... 👀
Interesante...> Change the identifiers used in ActivityPub to numeric IDs (instead of their username) for new users. This is a first step towards allowing account renaming. — Github PR #32724 (by ClearlyClaire)

FYI all the Mastodon team is looking for feedback on featured collections (aka "starter packs") so they may check in on this post 🙂

@anna @adrienne @eniko @mcc all the records in your PDS contain references to your identity (DID document), it's theoretically possible to modify the data to change that but requires rewriting your entire PDS for that account, so not particularly practical.
It's the DID that is moderated against in the higher layers, not your handle.
So it doesn't matter if you're @fred.example or @jason.example, if the DID used for one becomes the DID used for another handle.
It's kinda like how on ActivityPub, software has often encoded your username into the identifier for all your posts, meaning you can't change it without breaking everything.
(Though Mastodon is starting to fix this long-standing issue, there's fix only applies on new accounts, there's no protocol level way to fix it yet — it's kinda a weakness in JSON-LD)

@mcc yeah have a look at Rudy's thread there, he makes that very clear. And similarly Northsky is saying well, our original plan was do PDS as Phase 1, Relay as Phase 2, and AppView as Phase 3, but now we're acceslerating Relay and AppView up and treating it all as Phase 1. My take is that everybody always took the approach of treating Bluesky PBC as a potential adversary but didn't expect them to be this adversarialy this quickly.
(If this is all an N-dimensional chess play to blow up the company to speed up the decentralization ... well as shitposting goes, that's pretty darned epic. But it's probably just horrbile comms accelerating and magnifying the tensions that were always inherent. Time will tell I guess.)
@by_caballero it's true that's a huge hole in the composable moderation model (and Rudy and others had been looking at it even before this -- https://discourse.atprotocol.community/t/how-should-we-fairly-split-the-costs-of-commons-moderation-across-producer-and-consumer-apps/122 is interesting thinking from the Eurosky perspective although doesn't yet point to any conclusions). But for this particular case they just need an appeal method for community members that allows themm to override the Bluesky mod service's app-level takedowns in their own AppView. On the deeper issue though I feel pretty vindicated because I've always said that composable moderation is interesting and valuable in some important use cases but doesn't actually solve the moderation scalability issue.

@mcc @jdp23 here guys this might help clarify why Rudy has to rearrange his epics in jira:
https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3m2j6ccx2bs2t
moderation can only be additive until/unless you pony up the CSAM/hashmatch API key money plus roll and run yr own mod sys at scale. thats the real Achilles heel of composable moderation-- replacing the bottom layer is incredibly expensive
