That link doesn't work for me, but I ended up finding a post by them that seems to correspond. Good to know, thanks! Seems like it's realistic but expensive still (150$/mo?), and it's not gonna get cheaper... I hope they figure out a way to make them less centralized.

I believe that's your handle, not your identity. Your handle resolves to your identity, but your identity isn't directly tied to it, in case you lose the domain.
The aggregator is called the Relay, and I haven't even found anything suggesting one could realistically selfhost it. Then you need to handle the massive stream of data coming through it with AppViews, which are tough to handle too (there are a few but not many iirc).
That said, I am also impressed with the thought behind ATProtocol. It seems much more robust and defined than ActivityPub.
Bluesky's federation model is actually quite interesting, they go for a very portable approach vs activitypub's instance-basis. Unfortunately, there's still a massive centralization point (the main relay, the only thing that can really handle the firehose), and identity is also centralized, albeit has mechanisms to be decentralized.
"The transgender topic" is already weird as a statement (kinda like "the gay agenda", it comes off as only considering it as a political statement?), and "clearly promoted by the bourgeoisie" implies it's bad.
"As far as [...] lgbt flags on government buildings": it's... not far at all? Again, weird statement.
"Biological male" is both wrong for the boxer (she's cis) and generally used for transphobia (trans women on HRT aren't biological males by any reasonable definition). It's also generally conspiratorial.
Overall it's not explicitly transphobic or bad to me, but it shows at minimum a very misinformed perspective.
Super, merci!
Poast c'est pas un peu un site de nazi?
Wow, I didn't know that! That's absolutely wild
.... The root of the thread you're replying's main body is stuff JSO has actually achieved.
I'm assuming this is referring to JSO.

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]
On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]
Yes, a lot of their protests are "awareness" stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it's not just that. The UK isn't an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.
Block the community?
My understanding was that activitypub was basically a rough formalization of existing protocols, designed to be as flexible as possible. More a template than a real protocol. Unfortunately mastodon's popularity basically made a bunch of things de-facto obligatory but not well documented, and there's still a bunch of ways to do.. anything.
