Looks like someone’s built a Reddit-like on top of ATProto. Would be really interesting to see whether it could interact with the threadiverse through something like BridgyFed, which currently only works with microblogs (I think?)
Opportunity? Existential threat? You decide…
I think the most interesting opportunity here is that ATProto’s strength is that it was built for a “credible exit”, i.e, it allows users to migrate from any centralized network to a decentralized one.
IOW, it would be a lot easier to implement Fediverser on top of ATProto than of ActivityPub.
Threadiverse as in the Meta’s Thread?
As in Lemmy+Piefed+Mbin, the Reddit-like parts of the Fediverse
Why do ATProtocol projects tend to look so much more polished even in their infancy? Is that where the front-end people dwell?
In a nutshell, it’s because you don’t have to build the entire kit and kaboodle all at once.
Lots of BlueSky is centralized so you don’t have to worry about distribution, user, hosting, scaling, etc. and just focus on the frontend.
It’s the same reason why all the Lemmy and Mastodon apps look way better than the web versions, because all those other parts are no longer relevant and the creator(s) can focus on just putting out a polished product.
It’s not the first.
No community modded groups, not a Reddit-Like, FrontPage is more of a Digg-like I guess? Anyway nookie looks way more useable.
Early Reddit didn’t have those either, so I suppose it’s a proto-Reddit-like. Nookie does look better.
I’m good with the ActivityPub threadiverse tyvm
Interesting.
