RSS/webmention > ActivityPub > ATProto
I don't disagree with the sentiment as I love RSS, but doesn't it have a different use case than ActivityPub or ATProto?

What does ATProto run on, if not servers? Is it fully decentralised mesh P2P that runs on phones?

Never used it, but I've seen some praise for Snac as an easy to deploy activitypub server

#14(2023) but worth being reposted, never got a good HN discussion. Between 8 and 12 July there's DWebCamp [0] and many experts and devs on both protocols are present, so opportunity for some good cross-pollination here. [0] https://dwebcamp.org
Damn, I could've been there, if I'd known about it

The answer here would be "there's no such thing as a generic "server" like in ActivityPub because it's split into different components, of which a PDS is only one".
Honestly my main question here is "If you disagree with various ActivityPub instances' defederations, you can get around this by starting your own instance that federates with everything; is there an equivalent for bypassing Bluesky's moderation decisions?"

And how does RSS let you move your data to a new host while preserving your identity like AT Proto does?

There is no "AT Proto server" - https://overreacted.io/there-are-no-instances-in-atproto/

What makes up the ATProto is more than one type of server. Compared to ActivityPub where you just run a single Mastodon instance and you're set.
If the thing you want to own is your identity and data, you can fairly easy run a PDS yourself. If the thing you care about is different moderation decisions, you can run your own labeller (moderation system) or subscribe to another someone else has made.
