What is atproto?
What is atproto? atproto is two things: A protocol for creating open social networks An open social network atproto, the open social network Today the atproto network has 36+ million users and powers Bluesky and a handful of other apps. Almost all atproto data is public. Content like posts, likes, follows, and photos/videos are publicly accessible to any network participant in a permissionless way. As an example of how open the network is, here’s how easy it is to stream all public data on the network using a public atproto Relay like bsky.network:

This post looks more closely at Brittany Ellich's work on representing groups in ATProtocol. It builds on earlier conversations and explores how these ideas might work in practice.

Introducing ATProto Science - Cosmik Labs
Announcing atproto.science! #ATproto has huge potential for supporting new ways of doing research, so we started @atproto.science to help bring together researchers, build community, and explore what's possible when science meets cutting-edge open social network protocols! 🧪 >
Crowdsourced Research Synthesis on ATProto: Envisioning an Inclusive Future - Jay Patel - @infotainm
I love that the design of atproto was in part inspired by big social Kafka and ScyllaDB server backends and @martin.kleppmann.com's Designing Data-Intensive Applications and the community immediately used it to implement thousands of apps with no backend lol
some thoughts on atproto as a post-app paradigm

notes.wesleyfinck.org@metaflame.dev gave a great explanation in this mini-thread of the advantages for the #atproto network in having multiple, independent relays operating
Metaflame
Redundancy, resilience, and possibly distance Importantly, once enough independent relays are active, they are likely to disincentivize malicious behavior for any one of them. Having multiple implementations (that is, different code) adds further resilience.
