    I was similarly confused, and did some digging to determine that they are not related: https://twitter.com/DAIRInstitute/status/1830719509931663411...

    Yeah, capability for group permissions is a key part of the work happening on permissioned data in ATproto right now. https://dholms.leaflet.pub/3meluqcwky22a https://dholms.leafle…

    I dunno man. Why was Tangled able to ship on top of ATProto even prior to getting funded, and ForgeFed has been hanging out for years?

    I think you're missing the point. With the IndieWeb version of POSSE, the source of truth is the webpage you control. For the ATProto version of POSSE, the source of truth is the r…

    This isn't accurate tho. Neither Bluesky, nor other ATProto services require any of this. RedDwarf is an example of an ATProto client that connects only with your PDS, uses Microco…

    There are a lot of misunderstandings about what Blacksky is assuming that it's a just a community fork of Bluesky. The Blacksky team has a much broader vision for which they decide…

    I love that the initial state itself isn't stable. The world keeps moving around us. Can't choose staying still.

    I wouldn't write ATProto off as just microblogging, there are a bunch of interesting (and exciting depending on your POV) apps out there that _aren't_ microblogging apps. To name a…

    There's still some more work to do to make the developer experience simple enough that it's a no-brainer for people to pick ATProto up in anger. But there's a lot of work developin…

    I'd argue that ATProto is the next iteration of open internet. It's what an internet where accounts/identity and verifiable content attribution are built in, and nobody using the t…

    Yeah, that's falling directly into Facebook's talking points. It's a web extension, anybody can inspect the source. It doesn't do what Facebook is claiming. The NYU team bends over…

    It's very strange to call a proposal (negative income tax) made by economists as orthodox and central to 20th century conservative politics as Milton Freedman as _utopian_. But eve…

    Right, and it's still sad to say that they capitalized on that fact so incredibly poorly that the following came to pass: https://twitter.com/jacobian/status/1012781017940316161 > …
