There's toooons of alternative clients, but that's not the same thing as "independent application."
- chabalatabala 2y agoAll these are hardcoded to serve centralized content from bluesky's backend indexer right? if bluesky the company goes down, there's nothing to see right? If so, I think AT protocol needs to figure out how to make community hosted infrastructure easy, affordable, *and popular* before doing anything else, because it seems like it's just growing to serve Bluesky's app, and that's a flawed perspective of development for something like a general use decentralized social protocol. I just feel like if bitcoin people weren't the norm on nostr, there wouldnt' be much of a case for bluesky. nostr pretty much opens up possibilities and is living currently in a proven and actively scaling decentralized ecosystem.
- chabalatabala 2y agoUpdate: It seems yes there is no real decentralization in infrastructure. However it's great to see the eye is still on target: https://bnewbold.net/2024/atproto_progress/ https://bnewbold.net/2024/atproto_progress/ . Sending good luck vibes to AT Protocol team for these goals to be reached.
