Why did you decide to bet on atproto over Mastodon or similar?

Thoughts on testimonials, vouching and endorsement in general on #atproto pckt.blog/b/iorek/a-generic-endorsement…

the most intriguing part of #atproto, as a non-dev normie, is that if you're looking you'll see some version of "I think things can be better so I made [thing on the protocol]" all the time.

atproto is actually a massive socioeconomic experiment in which we test the hypothesis "contributors to the common good who deserve success should be able to find it" and initial results are looking good

i want to do a little ✨ ama about atproto ✨ in this thread. no question is too simple if you’ve been curious about atproto but don’t know much (anything?) about it, ask any question and i’ll try to explain it in my own words. (+ would love to hear from friends who aren’t very active on bsky)

Some of us in the ActivityPub world feel jealous of AtProto’s success (like me). But more decentralization is a win for everyone. With Bridgy from @anew.social connecting protocols, this isn’t competition, it’s momentum. We’re stronger together, so let’s build the social web humanity deserves 🚀

#atproto does not need to win only by convincing people to post somewhere new. It can win by becoming the foundation for software people already need to use because of real-world relationship woodys-rows.pckt.blog/open-forks-of-boring-apps-wit…

This is why I would like Bluesky to advertise ATProto to devs (I know Ivan, he is cool, but he should be advocating atproto in this thread) x.com/IvanVendrov/status/2092031150…

Inspired by @pds.dad 's AMA about #atproto over on #Mastodon ... AMA about #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse! No question is too basic! (If questions get beyond my knowledge I'll at least try to point you in the right direction 😃)

The fundamental strength of ATProto — and why I think it'll last — is that it is designed first and foremost to be built upon, by anyone, for any reason, rather than locking into one specific paradigm of its maintainers' choosing. Also tbh sex workers are the social media Mandate of Heaven, so.

lowkey if the only incentive to do anything with atproto is for the fun of it, that does not bode well... not saying that there should be monetary incentives, but there's gotta be something more so it doesn't become "this is no longer fun because it got too big" and then the platform dies
