> 1. Goal is to feel like one connected network. Your server shouldnt be where features, algorithms, or moderation come from. Instead you can change your app, algos, and moderation without having to migrate servers.
2. If you do need to migrate to a new server, you keep all your data, your graph, and your identity. On ActivityPub you'll manage to keep most of your follows but you lose your past activity (like posts)
3. We use domain names instead of email-style usernames. No double "@" like "@paul@server". It's small but I think it's nicer.
4. Huge focus on AT Protocol is on creating custom algorithms and moderation systems. When it's ready, people will be able to deploy new feed & user discovery algos same as making a new web service (if not easier). That's the major goal of the whole thing
5. We use a different approach to identifying data-types which we think will be generally easier for developers to work with
