A server protocol. Like HTTP.

  Sure they are linked by this general category of app layer service protocols, but they are different. ATProto afaik is a bit like activitypub, in which you define a protocol on top of the state representation in a way you can transfer it reliably across instantes that implement them. It's like http in which you can achieve the same using http, but http isn't prescriptive about any such behaviours, which these protocols address

      Does it operate on top of HTTP? I'm asking honestly, don't know the ATProto, if it is the yes, kinda, although REST isn't prescriptive about permissions, which the protocol also seems to be all about.

        REST is a set of conventions for HTTP

          Sorry, I meant atproto. Does it operate on top of http? At this point I could have already searched by myself but I prefer to keep it a conversation
