The thing is, ActivityPub had a real - if small - chance of becoming mainstream over the long term, Mastodon or not Mastodon. CBC.ca could integrate the protocal and push stuff out seamlessly. And that might happen some day.

CBC has a strong history of supporting new and not mainstream vectors as it tries to fulfill its mandate of reaching every Canadian. And platforms like Twitter and BlueSky don't fulfill that mandate due to their closed nature.

Bluesky will inevitably enshittify. It could be a long time from now but it will happen. It is funded by crypto company investors and public benefit corps can easily be amended into plain old private corporations

Bluesky is still leagues better than Xitter and I applaud any change from Xitter to Bluesky or Mastodon. When capitalism runs its course on Bluesky, Mastodon will be even better posed than before as an alternative.
