Bluesky and the AT Protocol: Usable Decentralized Social Media
Bluesky is a new social network built upon the AT Protocol, a decentralized foundation for public social media. It was launched in private beta in February 2023, and has grown to over 10 million registered users by October 2024. In this paper we introduce the architecture of Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and explain how the technical design of Bluesky is informed by our goals: to enable decentralization by having multiple interoperable providers for every part of the system; to make it easy for users to switch providers; to give users agency over the content they see; and to provide a simple user experience that does not burden users with complexity arising from the system's decentralized nature. The system's openness allows anybody to contribute to content moderation and community management, and we invite the research community to use Bluesky as a dataset and testing ground for new approaches in social media moderation.

Decentralized Short-Form Video App | Sifted
Fast, relevant content discovery with all the benefits of decentralization. No manipulative algorithms or hidden agendas.
I still think the biggest perk of atproto for everyday devs is not the decentralization, but things like - Handles auth, with good standards to check that auth and build permission layers. - A free public key/value database. - Can build api clients and some of the backend with lexicon schemas
Still seeking: - Decentralized direct-messaging (DM) service - Works with atproto identities - E2EE - Self-hostable / FOSS - Permissionless - Frontend-agnostic / plug-n-play - No blockchain Group messaging would be a bonus. We'd be your github sponsor + public champion.

Bluesky DMs are a centralized service that they run and haven't open sourced. Germ DMs are similarly centralized. If there's ever a DM service that we can self-host and would be interoperable with (work with) other atproto apps or non-Blacksky accounts, we'll swap out Bluesky's.
