What would be the upsides and downsides of that? It’s unclear what you’re asserting. Do you just want IPFS?

It is not worth it. The problem is the weight. For all of the good features it has, it's so heavy that you can't use it very long.

Well, I really appreciate the kind words. I think the atproto dev community in its entirety is full of good people who care quite a bit, and we all know something like this is a bi…

You replied to me, man

We don't even get paid to be in this cult, that's how organic it is

Luke's feedback on the permissioned data proposal is pretty interesting. The current proposal has a kind of locational element to permissions, where a record's URI reflects the acc…

This comment seems to lack nuance

> Bluesky recently acquired the rights to the trademark for “ATPROTOCOL” and its variants—including “AT Protocol” and “atproto”—from another company that was threatening to take le…

I’d also call out that activitypub has the same threat model in the form of ICANN, as it’s also heavily dependent on DNS for identity. I believe these are reasonable trades to make…

It doesn’t fully resolve your concerns, but I do want to highlight that atproto now has an IETF working group to home its spec development

Honestly that’s just as much because atproto is a raw data protocol. Putting an http frontend on an atproto account is something we encourage and a lot of folks do. I do that on pf…

Relays are actually quite cheap now! They used to be a bit more expensive when they archived all the traffic, but in sync 1.1 that was dropped and they can be run on $20/mo VMs pre…

Bluesky is the opposite of locked down

Wcyd? It was the name that Dorsey chose before the PBC was even formed. It's from the technical term of art, like greenfield.

Fyi it’s actually called bluesky, not bluewhatever

“Losing” is a loaded word choice. If I buy something I’m really happy to have, I probably don’t describe it as losing the money. Obviously the investment expense has been extremely…

OS-level is so much better than app-level. App-level means redoing the work for each app and increasing the odds of issues.

No disagreement there. If you want to keep updated on the permissioned data protocol you can follow daniel's leaflets https://dholms.leaflet.pub/ ( https://dholms.leaflet.pub/rss )…

Yeah I’ve met the Radicle people a couple times. I’ve never given it a thorough review but, for their goals, their designs have always seemed strong, and they’re pleasant people to…

The most valuable thing Tangled will ever do is establish the protocol of Tangled. Once that’s done, it lives as long as people are willing to run it.

Yeah the problems they seemed to have were over collaborative data structures with permissions. You’re right about how atproto solves that, which means you’re using CRDTs if you ne…

Absolutely none of this matches my experience.

Technically you can still view the posts directly from the PDS. It’s just uninteresting compared to web pages

This writeup is useful for backend engineers: https://atproto.com/articles/atproto-for-distsys-engineers The simple answer is that atproto works like the web & search engines, wher…
