I am so old, I actually learned how to program software agents in JAVA back in 1994 as part of my computer science studies. At the time it was supposed to be the future of IT. Software agents would roam the internet for the best deals and report back to me with "job done".

So forgive my "deja vu" reaction when I now hear the same story again, with the main difference being that a deterministic computer language has been replaced with a non-deterministic autocorrect ;)

Mastodon is secretly sponsored by a cartel of cat food and cat toys manufacturers. Its main purpose is to get you to want a cat in your household so they can sell you more of their stuff. And it is working quite well, as far as I can see.

And that's why Mastodon/ActivityPub will always beat Bluesky and other services. Smart stuff. Really smart stuff ;)
