       I know a lot of folks here have their qualms about Bluesky, but I hope folks are paying attention to what Rudy Fraser and Blacksky Algorithms are doing to decentralize their community from Bluesky PBC infra.Decentralization at every level of the stack is happening on ATProto. It started *within* the Bluesky infra, slowly drifting away one step at a time, and it's inspiring to watch it all happen.You can learn more here: https://www.blackskyweb.xyz/

       @quillmatiq I love to see folks trying to decentralize BSKY, but I'm still so confused on why anyone would build on ATproto when so other options exist that aren't tied to a corporation and are already in mass adoption. I feel like I'm missing something.

       @docpop Both solve problems the other one has, and some folks prefer the tradeoff with AT. Blacksky's strategy is also uniquely ATProto, this couldn't have been done the way it was using ActivityPub (yet!).

       @quillmatiq @docpop I guess I need an explainer article. Or preferably experts on opposite sides doing a long podcast. Sorry it just feels like it's 1995 and they're building another web. There's a W3C standard and other stuff to build.

       @wjmaggos I have to ask - is building something drastically different in parallel while still making compatibility easy a bad thing?At #Fedicon, ActivityPub and ATProto folks were discussing pros and cons of both solutions and exploring how the other could fill those gaps in tangible ways. We're sharing ideas, improving each other's solutions, and doing them in *very* different ways while still being interoperable.This kind of competition is good for innovation.@docpop

       @quillmatiq @docpop there are positives but I don't know that it's good on balance. if they were completely interoperable automatically, I'd probably say yes.maybe history can tell us. what were the early days of SMTP and IMAP like? but if we had an alternative to HTTP that some decent percentage of sites still used today and everybody had to opt-in to interoperate, that seems like it would have stunted development.we'll know more when bluesky starts trying to reward investors.
