What might be useful for the re-decentralized web community is a detailed comparison of the ATProto, ActivityStreams/Pub and maybe Solid specifications, protocols, standards, vocabularies (or whatever exactly these blueprints actually are).
As the blog post illustrates quite nicely (literally), ATProto is a fairly complete, bottom-up type specification that makes concrete various server/database aspects that in the ActivityPub spec are somewhere in the remote background, "left to the implementation". One could almost think of implementing AP over ATProto, and sure enough somebody wrote about this [1].
One can also not miss the (at least) linguistic affinity of a Personal Data Server with a Personal Data Store (Solid) and sure enough somebody did and asked [2].
