how atproto works
Samuel@samuel.fm· 3 Nov 2024
ok, let's break it down. at the core of atproto is the data. it lives own your own computer (or someone hosts it for you). think of it as a hard drive with JSON files on it data is structured (i.e. has a type), and can references other records on other peoples' computer with a URI like a hyperlink

this is a very nice thing to read
Mostly, the starter packs. Bluesky lets users curate easily accessible and shareable lists of recommended users for those just joining the platform. This is a kind of 'why don't we put wheels on luggage' sort of innovation that, in hindsight, it's wild that no other social network had thought to do before.

“The online world has become so hostile to users that Bluesky’s pitch of ‘here is a straightforward feed of text-based user-generated posts that we promise not to mess with’ is revelatory.” — @bcmerchant.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/bloodint...
Bluesky's success is a rejection of big tech's operating system
No bad adtech, no AI, no throttling links. Bluesky is a booming because it's everything big tech is not
