| Oh, it's some different AT protocol (some distributed mambojambo) than Hayes AT protocol. |

| One thing I'm wondering is how ATproto can be integrated with voice/video chat. Would you combine it with Matrix, XMPP, or some custom protocol? |

| Spaces really is gonna bring all the features that HN is critical about AT platforms like Tangled. Private repos are now on the horizon. Huzzah! |

| You’ll get more traction, by stating way up top what AT is and who should care about it. |

| ▲ | sltkr 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | You shouldn't have to click away from a blog post to understand what the blog post is about. It should start with a clear self-contained introduction. atproto.com contains a succinct discription: > Atproto is a big-world open social protocol. Users publish JSON records into repositories. The changestreams of those records then sync across the network to drive applications. Still a bit abstract, but OK. Personally I would include that AT protocol stands for Authenticated Transfer Protocol and that it is the protocol powering Bluesky. |

| Funny how this rhymes with something I wrote in 2011[1][2]: a "universal spreadsheet" where people share not just data but the transformations over it. The pieces are more real now: you can actually free your data from closed services (e.g. Instagram), orchestrate it on something like ATProto, and LLMs make a great new kind of "function" for the system.

| ▲ | verdverm 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Most people right now do not want their social media data in world/anonymous-read mode nor want Ai accessing it and doing things with it. | | |

| ▲ | verdverm 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | There's always the future. I stopped using ATProto after the revelations that they hid their VC raise from the community for almost a year (and some other things, straw eventually breaks a camel's back) - and almost all social media, which is a (mild) trend aiui. Setting aside contemporary political dynamics, there is also the possibility for robust data rights laws that can change the game. |

| ▲ | verdverm 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I agree, that's just not where ATProtocol is (currently only available in world/anonymous-read mode). Personally, I find the permission proposal rather lacking (ACL vs the advancements / learning since) and user requested features will require building auth enhancements at the app level, thereby creating a form of centralization. | | |
