Before anybody thinks we're trying to arrange for a battle of the protocols, #activitypub vs #atproto ... that's not the intention.
Instead, for people not deep down in the technical specs, these talks should give you an idea how these protocols work and you can better understand why their designers made different design choices and tradeoffs.
And for people who know one protocol well but not the other, we'd like to create ...

The fediverse, ATProto/Bluesky and Nostr are not competitors.
The real competitors (Meta, X, YouTube) probably love to see such division in us.
Let's remember who we're really up against, and stop trying to compete with other open platforms and protocols.
Use that energy to convince people to leave the real competitors and join us.
Thanks to @anewsocial@mastodon.social, we have a universal bridge to the future of a open social web.
A bridge to the future 🚀

RE: https://flipboard.social/@csullivan/116375294908867265
I really like @surf@flipboard.social and I'm curious whether Surf, itself, could be federated and whether it will be possible to host your own, open source instance of a Surf social site? I also wonder whether this is also just the wrong way to think about this, and whether any site with an #activitypub and/or #atproto feed is already an equivalent of a Surf social site? 🤔 I'm still working out how to think about Surf.

Good-natured but justifiably grumpy, middle-aged, neurodivergent, dog servant. I am in the process of building, and settling into a new life, and becoming more comfortable in my skin after multiple formal diagnoses in my mid-fifties. I tinker with stuff, computers, bits of wood, plants, and I love music, mainly jazz, and contemporary classical, and also enjoy a good book series. So, essentially I love to potter about, it's my happy place, and it's good for my wobbly brain. #bpd #cptsd #adhd #asd

My technical know-how falls short by a long way and I'm having a little trouble figuring out whether I get what I want from the Fediverse. By my limited understanding AT Protocol allows for a 'nomadic' id/datastore (PDS) but with ActivityPub, the nearest we get to that is by having your own instance of an app of your choice and plugging it in/out of other peoples, but your data can only really live in *your instance of *that app??

Catching up with some of the news coming out of the Atmosphere conference.
"With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot."
I'm guessing NFT profile pictures are next?

I made a "dashboard" listing available #atproto relays & Jetstream servers run by #bluesky and by people/teams from the community, comparing how much of the network they cover.
It's meant to stream from all sources simultaneously for e.g. 1 hour each day and compare how many different account DIDs it has seen from each: https://pulsar.feeds.blue

I want to be AS ACCURATE as possible with the most updated information for my essay, so what's the latest on pricing for running a Relay and AppView per month?
My current stat I'm quoting is $153/mo from July 2024, but that feels pretty outdated now. More users on the network, and

am i reading this wrong? how does adding the Relay to the network *reduce* the amount of connections?
(looking into the AppView and Relay for my essay thing rn, I need to explain each part :P)
surely:
Client → AppView → PDS
is better than
Client → AppView → Relay → PDS
no?
