Comment on Statement on discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol by W3C SocialCG

I think a lot of the hate is because of the realities of the real world implementation of the protocols. The fact that AT Proto is mostly run through the main instance with only nominal federation through other relays. And the fact that AT Proto requires the full firehouse replicated to all relays.
I probably prefer most of AT Proto other than these two issues. Regardless I am on mastodon with it bridged over to bluesky

It doesn’t, not even Bluesky runs a full network archive relay anymore because it proved to be too complicated and expensive.

That’s good to know. My understanding is admittedly out of date as I haven’t really kept up with ATProto as I get much more activity from the AP side of the house. I have been excited about projects like Blacksky and such acting as alternative relays.
