I can easily install an ActivityPub server, with Glitch. Show me the ATProto server that can integrate with BlueSky.

Can you? The same Glitch that shut down last year? https://blog.glitch.com/post/goodbye-glitch

Regardless, ActivityPub and ATProto have different designs and goals. Your question is akin to comparing a helicopter and an airplane.

There's no such thing as a "ATProto server". How complicated it is, and the trade-offs it made are valid criticisms of it. It all depends on what exactly your goal is as a participant of a distributed social network.

(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

Will content from dwebcamp be online for those unable to make it?

I think so, yes. The videos of the last camp are online as well at https://dwebcamp.org/videos
