Bluesky, the self-proclaimed savior of open ecosystems, just trademarked AT Protocol to ensure it can be used "widely"—which naturally means locking it up tighter than Fort Knox. 🏰🔒 Because nothing says "open ecosystem" like slapping a #trademark on every possible variant of your precious protocol. 🤦‍♂️📜 https://atproto.com/blog/at-protocol-trademark #Bluesky #ATProtocol #openEcosystem #techNews #digitalRights #HackerNews #ngated

One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint. AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it. I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one. #ATProto #ATProtocol #fedidev

3/3 Participants will take part in talks, workshops, and hands-on collaboration exploring what a more resilient, open, and decentralised web could look like in practice. DWeb Camp is a space for building, not just talking about, the web we want. @brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org @internetarchiveeurope @dweb #DWebCamp #DWeb #ATProtocol #ActivityPub #Fediverse

#Starling is a lightweight #PHP #fediverse server you can install by just copying files over FTP to a shared host. No PostgreSQL, no workers, no DevOps. Owning your data with #ActivityPub can be much simpler than with #ATProtocol. Have you tried it? https://github.com/dfaria-eu/Starling

FediForum Number 7 Is Happening And It Makes Me Happy The 7th FediForum is happening right now (yesterday, today, and tomorrow). There are two a year and I love going to them. You can follow along using the hashtag #FediForum. Most of the talks are a bit above my pay-grade, but I always learn something or get to try a new open source/open web technology. I also get to see many of my buddies on the open social web (AT Proto/Bluesky and ActivityPub) over video from across the web and engage with them all in real time. The discussions are top notch and there is even a sense of a hallway chat area in the online software Johannes and Anca (the organizers) use. They also use collaborative note taking, so even though the video/recordings are non-existent, there are great notes collaboratively made and later posted on the FediForum.org site after the event. If you get a chance to make a FediForum, you really should attend. The tickets are affordable and the community is so nice! #activitypub #atProtocol #Community #fediforum #fediverse #openSocialWeb #openSource

on the atmosphere, there is an incentive to implement better functionalities because any user can change service at zero cost; on the fediverse i feel like it's the opposite: there is no real incentive in embracing new software because it's more a risk than anything else and it's not like you can bring your own instance data on another software without costs. #fediverse #atmosphere #activitypub #atprotocol
