Huh? AT Protocol is neither proprietary nor centralized?
- greentea23 3y agoSure, AT protocol I agree. But Bluesky Social the practical entity as it stands today is a single, closed off instance, managed by a for-profit company. So I think it's still fair to say bluesky (but maybe not every piece comprising the production instance) is both proprietary and centralized. You can't run your own server, you may never be able to, and if you can it may never be allowed to connect with the "official" server, much like with Signal.
- vore 3y agoI don’t think that’s true either; they’ve explicitly stated that their roadmap for 2024 is federation: https://atproto.com/blog/2023-protocol-roadmap https://atproto.com/blog/2023-protocol-roadmap
