Finally done. I was able to talk with @pfrazee.com, as well as a handful of other folks with insight on the situation. #atmosphereconf trezy.com/blog/the-mar...

I understand the concerns, but I don't think Attie sherlocked Graze at all. While they both build feeds, they have very different target audiences and usecases.

I think Graze is well-positioned to build an Attie competitor if that's something they want to do: an agent-based feed builder with Graze's visual programming environment as the intermediate representation would be awesome.

In contrast, I don't think Attie is well-positioned to compete with Graze. Analytics, monetization, etc are features it doesn't have, and its simplified feed model means that even if it added them... Graze would be a better product for applications where you care about that stuff.

I also think there are great opportunities for interoperability here. There's been talk about being able to export feeds from Attie and run them elsewhere. I think Graze should build an importer!

I agree with the majority of your points! The issue is that Bluesky has been saying they want to grow and support the Atmosphere, but the presentation they gave signaled the opposite.
