Who is going to deal with spam?

Use ATproto, but with a different data model so that each "post" is associated with a URL being commented on. Then bring the moderation system from Bluesky.

(As much as I don't like ATproto's centralization, ActivityPub doesn't work the right way)

SMTP?

USENET?

i don't see how that's going to make the internet any less siloed?

unless you're trying to say it'll make us less reliant on services like Disque.

Trackbacks! (No, don't do trackbacks again.)

But we need silos to protect your data from greedy AIs...So we can better package it and sell it to wealthy AIs.
