Kye Fox<p>Explaining ATProto to people used to ActivityPub is as hard as explaining ActivityPub to people coming from centralized social media because it's just as big a conceptual shift.</p><p>Twitter/Facebook/etc->AP split one center into multiple centers. App and data are still bound together.</p><p>AP->AT splits app and data. You choose your data host, and then you choose your app. Most apps will bring data hosting along and you won't have to think about it, but the option is there: the credible exit.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ATProto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ATProto</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bluesky</span></a></p>

Roni Laukkarinen<p>I've been following ATProto's development from the sidelines since 2022, but I somehow missed this great take by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.coop/@eloquence" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>eloquence</span></a></span> on Bluesky interoperability with Mastodon and ActivityPub: <a href="https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/1716" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/bluesky-social/atpr</span><span class="invisible">oto/discussions/1716</span></a></p><p>"We currently have two emerging alternatives to X that deserve to be taken seriously: the fediverse and BlueSky. The fediverse tends to attract folks who highly value open source in principle and practice; BlueSky tends to attract folks who are looking for a drop-in Twitter replacement.</p><p>In this context, I would argue that a clear commitment from the key parties (that includes @Gargron's Mastodon gGmbH and Bluesky the company) towards an interoperable social web is essential. We should be able to follow each other no matter where we decide to make our social media home. Even Mark Zuckerberg's Threads has at least made a commitment towards interoperability."</p><p>It's a good read. Year after year, it feels like ATProto and ActivityPub, Bluesky and Mastodon, couldn't be further apart. Even Nostr and WordPress support ActivityPub. We're seeing more servers and clients in the Fediverse adopting ActivityPub. As far as I know, 99% of ATProto is still powered by Bluesky's main server, which makes it not very decentralized. I wonder why anyone would want to set up a server for ATProto when ActivityPub is so much more widely used.</p><p>I see Bluesky and ATProto's future as just another private company, like the rest. It's easy to pretend decentralization and open source just for marketing.</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bluesky</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ATProto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ATProto</span></a></p>
