Of its exact kind, yes. Generally, no. For example, there’s a clubhouse-style audio application that operates on the protocol, and there are lots of little interesting projects that interface with the protocol in some way at a high level. The federation aspect of Bluesky/the AT-protocol hasn’t truly been launched yet as far as I can tell. If you’re familiar with BGP in DNS, the AT-protocol has a similar equivalent that will be the most expensive and resource-intensive part of the stack to run. It’s expected that there will be a few players in this space and many higher level players paying for access over time. As it currently stands, I believe that Bluesky is the only one running this part of the show right now though as they continue work on finalizing this part of the protocol and platform. They put it roughly as (paraphrasing), “federation hasn’t been switched on yet, we’re still testing,” and I think they’ve said it’s an alpha/beta state. I’m just an outside observer with an account who has read some material and followed the on-platform discourse by the team directly. If someone more directly affiliated with Bluesky would like to critique me, I’m more than open to it.
