Sharing for anyone else not familiar with AT Protocol:
FAQ Why not use ActivityPub?:
Account portability and Scalability through activity aggregation
Bluesky uses AT Protocol. The connected network/platform is called the Atmosphere.
I didn't see any mention of other software/platforms using AT protocol on the protocol website or Wikipedia.
Yeah. I read the linked explanation by OP.
User repositories is basically how FMS on Freenet (now Hyphanet) works. The big difference is that JSON is used at AT instead of XML 😁. Also, things on Freenet are "content addressable" (what a buzz word) and immutable, always has been.
General data scalability is a part of the Freenet network model. App bandwidth and sync is admittedly not optimal, since on FMS, you basically pull from everyone's feed to your database (bar the ones you distrust, or others you trust their distrust judgment distrust). But that can be trivially fixed by adding watchers split over the keyspace. These watchers can give users metadata about who to pull/update from. This of course was never actually needed since the user-base is small.
So reading about AT, I was left wondering. Is this really innovative? Then I read this part
.. and everything made sense. The masters of pretending they are coming up with new stuff are at it again.
Not sure that is a good name from a search or brand recognition perspective.
Yeah, I thought the same. Pretty bad name.
