I was skeptical that AT Proto was anything more than Bluesky-with-extra-steps, learnt how much potential the protocol has after building a multiplayer chess app, entirely client side and "on protocol". The real value is that apps become different views into the same data.
Using AT Proto for more than just Bluesky posts

Beyond Bluesky: These are the apps building social experiences on the AT Protocol | TechCrunch
A list of AT Protocol-based, consumer-facing apps that are either built on top of Bluesky or its underlying protocol, allowing users to take back control over their social networking experiences and personal data.

bsky.networkWhen @bsky.app pulls this kind of crap often, whilst also expecting the community to do the heavy-lifting in actually convincing people to try out the AT Protocol... it's really difficult to feel hopeful about the future of Bluesky and its constituents. I imagine many agree with this stance.

Bluesky’s statement deriding Threads users as “guinea pigs” is not representative of Blacksky Algorithms, the atproto ecosystem or the open social web more broadly. Communities form around communication networks. And communities should never be trolled for whatever tool helps them find each other.
AT protocol doesn’t play zero-sum, winner-takes-all games. “European X?” No, European data sovereignty for all of x/y/z in amicable competition. “Killer app?” No, interoperable apps as the monopoly-killer. “Everything-app?” No, everything-account in a pluriverse of user-owned software.

"Why do people keep calling for a 'European X' or a 'European Instagram' when instead, by sharing infrastructure as we're doing with @eurosky.social, we could have 20 or 30 social networks?" — @seabass.bsky.social
Shoutout to @skycave.space and many others like them that show off perfectly what @bsky.app & AT Proto are capable of. For those of you that aren’t aware #blackskygamers @skycave.space literally have made games playable on Bluesky ALL FOR FREE just sign in with your account #creatorsofblacksky
