Blacksky has already built their own ATProto stack that's fully independent from Bluesky.

Now Eurosky is making progress as they roll out their own PDS.

I see more independent infrastructure springing up on atp.fyi/network, including AppViews.

For anyone hoping that we'll get another wave of people coming to the fediverse once Bluesky folds/enshittifies, that might not necessarily be the case as people will have more options to stay in the Atmosphere.

@MxSpoon "Account portability is a major reason why we chose to build a separate protocol"

"I think it’d have been a difficult collaboration if we chose to use AP, especially since we weren’t willing to compromise on some of the decisions"

I think one way or the other they want
a) to monetize it
b) to control it

That's why AP wouldn't suffice. Tech reasoning is just word salad. They could have helped W3C and AP but chose not to.

Already a decentralized federated protocol

Activitypub already exists. Why not just work on that? Why is this needed?

Hm, so it might actually be powered by ATproto?

Interesting.

W for ATProto

W is a new platform recently announced, aspiring to be a European alternative to X. It may actually be powered by ATProto, based on leaked screenshots. This is a win for ATProto
