It appears that the ActivityPub fediverse has been eclipsed in popularity by the shiny and drowning-in-cash BlueSky project. But ActivityPub is like the tortoise in the race, and the centralized architecture of BlueSky will create unavoidable problems which collapse its advantage in the long run. Standardized protocols are the only sure thing, resistant to the transient whims and scandals of any one particular company.

Over the last year the ActivityPub fediverse has been eclipsed in popularity by the shiny and drowning-in-cash BlueSky project. But ActivityPub is like the tortoise in the race, and the centralized architecture of BlueSky will create unavoidable problems which collapse its advantage in the long run. Standardized protocols are the only sure thing, resistant to the transient whims and scandals of any one particular company.

Epicyon is designed for the expected long term future of the ActivityPub protocol. Written in the most boring trend-avoiding way possible, with few dependencies, no database to get corrupted, and suitable for running on old hardware at minimum cost. In tough environments, it can also run from an onion or i2p address and use text mode browsers with no risk from javascript exploits.
