    ATProto is not the Fediverse. Is there something in this blog you think should be discussed in the context of the Fediverse?

      The idea of the Fediverse is simply a group of social networks communicating through the same protocol, is that not what ATProto is attempting to accomplish?

      I’ve been a long time supporter that ATProto actually is apart of the Fediverse. The ultimate goal of this subreddit is a fully decentralized social media landscape. Fracturing discussion between ActivityPub and ATProto helps no one, especially in niche communities like this. The long-term goal is the same, and whether that progression happens on protocol A or platform B it’s progressive nonetheless and we should discuss it.

        ATProto is not decentralized.

        ATProto isnt the same protocol as activityhub which is what we are using to post/communicate between different instances.

        You would argue that its all REST I suppose?

        Neither this community’s sidebar nor Wikipedia agree with your definition.

      Wait how is it not the fediverse?

        By “Fediverse” people usually refer to “ActivityPub”-based social networks such as Mastodon and Lemmy.

        People also rightfully argue that Bluesky, despite the best of intentions, is not decentralised. See How decentralized is Bluesky really? (long read).

        The Fediverse is a specific thing. And even if it were just referring to any federated social network, it’s very questionable whether Bluesky really can have independent instances.

    I know all you guys comment about fediverse(activityPub) is not bsky(atprotocol) but can we enjoy this stupid quote for a moment?

    However, if the internet is functioning properly and you have a computer, an internet connection, and an IP address you can host a document on the web.

    That statement is so redundant.
    “internet functioning properly” = “an internet connection”
    and you cant have an internet connection without an ip adress. On Lan you may have the option to let the device decide BUT it still needs one!

    I dont think the entire article is bad or something but let me have my nitpickings.

    • its too long, and with that i mean half the thing is 3 concepts that could have been explained shorter
    • too many fancy words (i am not a native & my reading comprehension gets worse at all those extravagant marketing words, so thats my error)
    • not including the one picture of the protocoll/network topology. I needed to keep that in my brain to not get confused Masto Post with Topology
    • that one paragraph at the post start but can happen to anyone so its simply hilarious

      not including the one picture of the protocoll/network topology

      This is a solid one from their wiki Image

    A few days ago I posted the same question on X, Bsky and Mastodon. I’ve received more interactions and responses on Mastodon than the other two combined.
