Most people right now do not want their social media data in world/anonymous-read mode nor want Ai accessing it and doing things with it.

  Nothing about this requires world-readable data, privacy can be its own layer. FriendFeed[1] did this well back in the day: it aggregated your feeds and let you control who saw each one. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FriendFeed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FriendFeed

    I agree, that's just not where ATProtocol is (currently only available in world/anonymous-read mode). Personally, I find the permission proposal rather lacking (ACL vs the advancements / learning since) and user requested features will require building auth enhancements at the app level, thereby creating a form of centralization.

      > thereby creating a form of centralization. Fair point on app-level auth, still far less centralized than the status quo, where the data, the permissions, and every function on top all belong to one company.

        better, but works against one of the core ethos in AT

    There's always the future. I stopped using ATProto after the revelations that they hid their VC raise from the community for almost a year (and some other things, straw eventually breaks a camel's back) - and almost all social media, which is a (mild) trend aiui. Setting aside contemporary political dynamics, there is also the possibility for robust data rights laws that can change the game.
