@liaizon ultimately I think we will come to regret letting the opportunity for a freer social internet slip thru our fingers in 2022. but I'm also just very pessimistic about ATP and their relay-centered architecture

I don't think people here realized yet how much development has sped up in the "atmosphere*"@liaizon for me both protocols have very different success conditions. In both cases having more users off the main platforms of tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, etc is a condition. but for bsky I think it looks like total users but for fedi in think it's number of servers too.
I think that the difficulty of deploying servers was part of the reason we didn't get larger adoption. I think what fedi is great at -smaller communities having both internal and external conversations - was hampered by those groups needing to have a server deployed. The communities that would have benefited went to discord instead, and the people whov wanted microblogging wanted universal reach.
I dont know how solveable this problem was for fedi given "it's too hard to make a webserver" has been a problem since geocities.
