What is the AT Protocol?
Wikipedia: “The #ATProtocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol, pronounced "@ protocol" and commonly shortened to ATProto) is a protocol and #OpenStandard for #distributed #socialNetworking services. It is under development by #BlueskySocial #PBC, a public benefit corporation originally created as an independent research group within #Twitter to investigate the possibility of #decentralizing the service.”

Naz Hamid writes about how we should all keep social networks in their place; as methods of distribution rather than longterm means of connection or publication. He also contrasts that to how we could be thinking of our websites:
“If you care about your creativity, and what you make and bring into the world, I’d suggest having your own website. A place you can shape and change as often, or […]

The doesn't sound like a social-network. This sounds more like some type of broadcast-network.

It is interesting how dogmatic our thinking is. If I imagine myself as a person, my awareness. I have a set of senses, and through them I receive streams of information through time.. timelines. And I do social networking my entire life, since birth. Yet in no way does my world look anything like #Xitter, or even #Mastodon for that matter. My initials are A.S. and I just `as:Like` to `as:Note` this now and then.

Flipboard is embracing the Fediverse to become a "Fediverse browser." This shift aims to provide users with more content and creators with greater independence from major social media platforms. By integrating ActivityPub, Flipboard intends to enhance content discovery and curation, offering a more open and equitable social media experience.

Ken Yeung · Mike McCue: Why Flipboard Sees the Fediverse as Its FutureFlipboard CEO Mike McCue discusses the company’s shift to the Fediverse, why it's becoming a "Fediverse browser," and its plans to boost decentralized content.
Why #CoryDoctorow hasn't joined #BlueSky (yet).
In short, while there's the promise of #federated #socialnetworking, it has so far come up short on actual delivery, and therefore the possibility of #enshitifcation

I don't know how #Bluesky is funded, but they have a small fast-moving innovative team. Their site is a work in progress, still lacking some basic features, but they have already implemented tons of cool ideas no other soc-net has.
They have the advantages of being the late-comers. They can see all the faults built into #Twitter, #Mastodon, and #Nostr; then actively dodge those pitfalls.
Time Changes Everything Including Our Favourite Social Media
No-one ever thought MySpace, FriendFeed, Orkut, Google+, etc would ever be usurped, as they were amongst the biggest social networks around. But everything changes over time, and that includes all social networks as well as their users.
Twitter, ...continues

I’m feeling lost! There are a few new social platforms in #Fediverse I like: #Mastodon (not that new, I know), #Bluesky & #Threads. It’s tough to choose, and I can’t spend time on all of them. Plus, I’m done with Twitter. A decision has to be made. What would you do? How did you choose? #SocialMedia #DigitalDilemma #TechLife #PlatformWars #NewPlatforms #SocialNetworking #OnlineCommunity #TechTrends #TwitterExodus
I'm having a few thoughts on social norms. I'm used to IRC and Usenet, where a channel or group is understood to be an open forum and, when people make a statement, it is seen as normal for anyone else, acquainted or not, to respond to it, even tangentially.
But on more social-network-style graph-based communications where the flow is determined by a follow edge between nodes or something like it, a lot of people find it disturbing or invasive to have strangers pop into their mentions to rebut, add, or jump off from their point.
I think this causes a lot of friction and expectation mismatches. I don't think either norm is wrong, though it is useful if people make it clear which one they're expecting.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm an IRC-type person. If I'm posting public or unlisted, I do not mind strangers to disagree with me, add their own twist, or give their own reaction. I will also respect the desire of graph people who don't want me to do that to them.
