Cool idea but I don’t see the appeal from the elevator pitch.

Totally fair! I've fleshed out a lot more of the idea now, so maybe this article will help.

I haven’t read the post yet but from the start of it… It kinda looks like some Miiverse type stuff? Is that correct?

Hi! I've thought atproto sounds interesting, and I like most of what I've seen of it, But, can you help me understand how I, a game developer, might use the AT Protocol to "decentralize the ownership and management" of games I make? bless 🙏

so a bot?

I’m not sure how this translates to “a bot?”

I wrote a paper to explain. zenodo.org/records/1746... make agent to scrap game data -> push to supabase -> analyze data -> push top content into your social network via atproto mcp -> agent can search and respond to pushed content -> rinse & repeat. there are numerous botds that do exactly this.

wasn't there a whole thing about how bluesky's ATProtocol can't be decentralized currently because there's something missing from the open source stuff? Or was that fixed at some point?

Bluesky itself was centralized when they launched, but they've successfully decentralized the protocol. At this point it's in a very good place: self-hosted PDS, alt AppViews (like deer.social and blacksky.community), and even distributed relays. It's a really great architecture, honestly.

Deer.social doesn't have an AppView, I'm not sure if Blacksky's has launched publicly

Mr Trezy sir, apologies I'm new. What's a ATProto? 🙏

Hey there, I tried to address this in an article that will _hopefully_ be a little more accessible than the forum post. 😀

Hi hi, quick question: Who would host and/or manage the linkages between the ATProto data and the existing game platforms? Would that be a paid service?

It depends what link you're referring to. Data hosting is up to the game owner - it lives in their PDS, which can be self-hosted or use providers like Bluesky. No separate hosting fee from us for the lexicons/infrastructure.
