       | I see you mentioned Radicle. What are the major differences
       | compared to Radicle? Having read just the blog post I would guess
       | it's the source of the identity as a start, so you can use users'
       | existing atproto did s whereas Radicle has to bootstrap a whole
       | new identity web.

       | bluesky, but now because of tangled I will.

       | How does authorization work? Is everything pull-only or can you
       | push to someone's knot?

         | Hey, you can indeed push to someone's knot if they've invited
         | you on it. The knot server will automatically populate your ssh
         | pubkeys (if you've added them) allowing you to push. :)

       | did you consider integrating atproto with Radicle? if no, why
       | not?

         | The second paragraph of their blog posts suggests Radicle
         | doesn't support central identity. It's really hard to imagine
         | one of the core concepts of Radicle bending (breaking) to allow
         | that.

           | Building on this, I think Radicle would be described as
           | "peer-to-peer", whereas something like Tangled is
           | "federated". The article differentiates Tangled from other
           | federated systems by saying that you can use a "centralized"
           | ID using AT Protocol, but I don't know if the ID provider
           | itself is centralized, centralized-but-self-hostable, or
           | federated.

             | atproto uses the DID system, which precedes it by a few
             | years. at the moment, 99% of atproto users have a
             | centralized id from the did:plc database, and a few dozen
             | use did:web. no other DID methods are supported in the
             | tooling yet afaik.
