"But it will take independent funding and governance to turn Bluesky’s underlying tech—the AT Protocol—into something more powerful than a single app." I see the executive director and president of Mozilla Foundation as their technical advisors, no surprise. But it surprises me to have the executive director of the Social Web Foundation (@swf) there. Any thoughts, @evan ? It also surprised me to see Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia, involved. #ActivityPub #ATProtocol #BlueSky #SocialWebFoundation #Mozilla #Wikipedia #VentureCapital #SocialMedia |

Föderation EN Mo 13.01.2025 21:11:56 @everton137 Does the Mozilla Foundation even exist at this point? Didn't they just cut back their investment in ActivityPub to like nothing, taking multiple large instances and a client or two down with them? Would be an interesting move to abandon all of that for ATProto |

Föderation EN Mo 13.01.2025 21:13:13 @countablenewt that's why it doesn't surprise me. But the executive director of the Social Web Foundation? |

Föderation EN Mo 13.01.2025 21:21:49 @everton137 I guess for steering? I don't know The SWF is definitely an ActivityPub thing, so mixing in ATProto is odd, but it could be in regards to bridging/compatibility Really I feel like ATProto is wasting time that could be better spent on already established protocols, but such is life |

Föderation EN Mo 13.01.2025 21:50:36 @everton137 @swf we've got a blog post about it here: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/01/13/free-our-feeds-and-algorithmic-pluralism/ |

Föderation EN Mo 13.01.2025 21:53:30 @everton137 @swf tl;dr is that SWF focuses on the Fediverse, but we want to support this effort to make the AT Proto network more open and participative. And we'd probably help directly or indirectly if they try to make the AT Proto network better connected to the Social Web. |

Föderation EN Di 04.02.2025 10:18:15 @everton137 @swf lol. Yeah, if you're not involved in Bluesky already, you don't need to look at it. It's for opening up their network. |
