I think there's an answer in the FAQ on the AT Protocol website for why that decision was made: atproto.com/guides/faq#w... In general I'd agree with you. I'd rather have multiple smart folks pulling in the same direction 😄 but there's also value in experimentation

It was great to meet you, too! Looking forward to watching your talk recording this week! 😁

build the grave for bsky too lol

aaaaah <3 <3 <3

This is lovely, Brittany! Thank you for writing it

portable identity and data ownership is what the web should've been from the start. curious how it holds up at real scale though

I think that there are likely ways to build something interconnected with safe, shared spaces away from the masses that would allow folks to live with their own shared values. I agree, humans aren't made to hear from everyone 100% of the time.

this is so good

Nice recap @brittanyellich.com ... I wasn't able to make Vancouver but I appreciate the summary.

Maybe social media wasn’t the problem — forcing everyone into one global feed was.

Yeah Mastodon definitely has a higher barrier to entry. I put time into it in fall of 2022 and it took me a few hours to create an account and understand the structure of different instances. Not sure if it’s easier now.

Ooh awesome! 😁 Glad it's a good hook!

Every protocol that changed the internet eventually had someone say "this isn't just for developers." The ones that meant it actually won. Betting ATProto is serious about that part.

Curious how this plays out at scale though will most people actually switch providers or just stick to defaults?

I bet you'll dig the chaos machine, then! It's very very good!

this is so great!!!

Wow! Big positive words! More of that!

Looks like I have two new books to read on my flight back 😅 thx for the write-up and great talking to you at #ATmosphereConf!
