No. Bluesky is completely different. They’re fundamentally different products. At protocol is an open protocol. It’s like saying there’s risk building on http or imap.

Platform risk is scary. I’m building against the Etsy API and am absolutely terrified that they change their mind one day and either cut on features or start asking for $42,000.

What excited me most about deso is that any dev good build on it. Curious to see if any indie devs take the opportunity to build their own bluesky clients. The challenge of competing with Twitter is its incredible network effect moat. But with BS that’s gone as you share their db.

Yes. And you won’t get much for that. There’s a 5k tier. At protocol is different. That’s what BlueSky is built on. Like crypto, you don’t need permission to build on the protocol

That's a fair point. The network effect is crucial for adoption, and APIs often drive that.

Fair point Mariano. ATprotocol seem more aligned with openness than proprietary platforms.

Didn't know it before, but yes Bluesky/ATProto's decentralized nature aligns more with openness and user control, reducing the risk of sudden, proprietary shifts like we've seen with X/Twitter.
