  • From what I could find on my own with a couple minutes of research (currently at school) I know there’s at least two independent relays active, the WhiteWind one and the BlackSky one. There’s a blogpost written by the WhiteWind developers about the performance costs of running a Relay, and checking it out again I see they mention the recent update to improve performance at the top of the page now.

    I said this before but since learning how they work on a conceptual surface level I’ve liked and felt more optimistic about ATProto than ActivityPub. I think I misspoke in the way I described how I felt about the Fediverse and gave the wrong idea about what I think. But I don’t want to make this reply longer than it has to be.

    I’m not going to say either is better than the other, from what I can tell it’s just two different models of decentralization that are radically different, but I like ATProto’s approach more What I am going to say though is that I do wish there were more ATProto based services, and I find it odd how ATProto and Bluesky have not seen the same sprawl of clients and services ActivityPub has, but that may just be a question of age (as iirc AP is much older than ATProto). Bluesky’s got its fair share of Clients but AP honestly puts it to shame, I genuinely wonder why.




  • I’d like to hijack the top comment to say that despite news like these, a friend of mine who’s been involved with development (interacted with developers, looked at code…) says that recent updates have made the ATProto service stack much more optimized and accessible. There’s also quite a few “Atmosphere” services already, such as leaflet.pub

    And I’m gonna be honest most implementations of ActivityPub I’ve seen so far have felt more like a normal social media with a “talk to other servers!” gimmick
