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

ATProto is open. Bluesky is not.

What we currently see is similar to how ActivityPub looked when it was first drawn up as a protocol: when 99% of users were on Mastodon GmbH's server.

The ten thousands of servers came later. And in theory ATProto is defined open enough that it is possible to implement it independently from Bluesky.

ATProto is open. Bluesky is not.

Not a distinction worth making when 99+% are all on the same server.

when 99% of users were on Mastodon GmbH’s server

99% of the 12 users?

And in theory ATProto is defined open enough that it is possible to implement it independently from Bluesky.

Then why is no one doing it?
