AT Protocol

Mientras BSky (y su protocolo, atProto) no es descentralizado sino que alguien con la misma cantidad de pasta para gastar que BSky se puede montar su servidor; cualquier cosa de Activity Pub la puedes correr en hardware absurdamente limitado como una play 3

I'm not sure if that was the way to go about making a point though since trans people have been suspended for less than what Singal is known for doing. Idk man. It's giving the ick. I hope you guys are moving fast on making a better self hostable appview though.

Like imagine this post, but it's a genuine strategy to get people out of the Bluesky-moderated space to another atproto social space with a moderation policy they agree with because spinning up moderation spaces is easy!

Alpha Testing is going well! We're successfully overcoming hurdles and moving bigger and bigger accounts. Our tools and PDS configuration are improving, and we're also working on finalizing an explainer video that should help folks wrap their heads around Migration and what it means on AT Protocol.

You don’t need to become an expert on AT Protocol, you don’t need to learn to code, but I really do want to impress upon people that “federated social media” is a vitally important concept in a time of global authoritarian and technofeudalist consolidation.

could be that I'm just dumb or ignorant, but it really doesn't feel like the AT protocol has made any real inroads besides just Bluesky

It's worth remembering that Bluesky was essentially a skunkworks project inside of Twitter that spun off into a separate pseudo-nonprofit. The only reason it exists was to play around with AT Protocol. The goal wasn't originally to compete with Twitter, but to find a new business model

i just think it's kinda hollow to keep reemphasizing that atproto is decentralized as if most people even had a way to use it without being dependent on services operated by bluesky, you know just as well as i do that you control the vast majority of this "network"

creadoras de BSky/atProto: "no, no hemos creado otra red social centralizada" *mientras se convierten mas y mas en una red centralizada y tienen *ejem* problemas de doble vara de medir con respecto a quien echan y quien no*

CEO Jay’s waffle post is part of an ongoing series of debates on whether Blue “sky” is the best the app on the atproto. Google search “Blue Waffle” to find fun alternatives!

you can all stop badly explaining the fediverse (sorry i mean "Mastodon" obviously) to me under every bluesky/atproto related post i make btw, i have been running my own fedi instances for literal years and it was the main social media i used from like 2020-2023

Dann ziehen wir nen alternativen AT Protocol Server hoch. Also so als 21. Jh. Alternative zur Homepage mit Forum. 😅

Just delegated my handle to my own domain via a DNS TXT record proving control of my namespace on the AT Protocol without relying on a central authority yo! @jay.bsky.team you cooked on this one

ATProto puts power literally in the people’s hands We wouldn’t be the product anymore We wouldn’t be at the whims of platforms We’d own our data A lot of people are mad at Bluesky. But mainstream systems have always failed marginalized groups…it’s why ATProto is more important than Bluesky 2/3

It’s a pretty confounding situation: Group A fighting with the very people building the tools they need to create the social media they want With ATProto, we won’t have to fight others to do the right thing We’d just build it ourselves 3/3

May be some short outages of my atproto services (not selfhosted.social) while i replace a WiFi router

im rebuilding and simultaneously open sourcing our automated moderation stack. these are the types of things that every bluesky fork or non-bluesky atproto application is going to need, and i really want to see those tools available

i wrote down the process of resolving an at:// URI step by step. turns out, it's a great way to learn how the AT protocol works!

"ceci n'est pas un social media network" listen, I'm down with the long term vision of AT Protocol, but right now, here in reality, you are very much operating a social media network whether you like it or not

(we're speaking to you from servers located in Australia, in our own AWS account, but using the bsky official client and relay/appview infrastructure)

i really like atproto, the framework that this is running on, and it's absolutely the best option for the future of social network i hope we can "just leave" as soon as possible because bluesky the company obviously does not have any interest in hosting us, it's just not possible at all right now
