Wow I had no idea, thank you for your well-reasoned critique! I can tell you're very capable of evaluating the merits of complex socio-technological systems. Your wisdom is unparalleled; now I see we all should just keep using X and GitHub.

GP just created an account to shitpost about ATProto out of desperation, what else can we expect from them. look at the username and account age, XD

This comment seems to lack nuance

Not sure how good of a social protocol it is, but I see ATProto/PDS as a possible succesor to solid [1], if they implment the permissioned data access model correctly. Which would certainly have a lot of good usecases, beyond social apps.

I agree (with caveats and not as strongly), but claiming no utility is a bit much.

> They reinvented a worse Twitter (it failed)

Bluesky has 9-11x times the number of total users as Twitter did three years after its launch. It has somewhere between 15-20x the number of MAUs as Twitter had. It has not failed even a little bit.

> Now they're trying to reinvent a worse GitHub (not off to a great start)

You seem to think this is the same group of people who started Bluesky. You’re wrong. Not only that, you’ve failed to name how Tangled is a worse Github when the burden of proof is on you.

> Abandon AT proto - dumb idea, all empty ego on the part of the creators, no utility for the masses

Curious that the number of atproto accounts and users only seems to be growing, because that’s not what I’d expect if there was no utility for the masses.

Why not respond to OP? I don’t care enough for a debate.
