Bluesky is building a social protocol. We released “ADX” (the X stood for Experiment) in May. Now that the design is starting to solidify, we're renaming it to the “Authenticated Transport Protocol” — the “AT Protocol.” https://blueskyweb.xyz/...

Latest open source @bluesky protocol work sponsored by @jack. Looks forked / based off prior work by @pfrazee @expede @dholms_. I predict a reasonable likelihood that @twitter adopts and migrates to this open procotol entirely if/once @elonmusk takes over. https://twitter.com/...

“The world needs a diverse market of connected services to ensure healthy competition. Interoperation needs to feel like second nature to the Web.” I'm cautiously optimistic - and certainly curious. https://blueskyweb.xyz/...

This is potentially huge. This is exactly in line with the way I believe domain names are going to evolve in utility. Individual #digitalidentity! This could be the TRUE Web3, right on good old .com! #ENS folks are not gonna like this! #DomainNames https://twitter.com/...

Interesting work... although I can't find where it talks about likes/mentions/comments _across_ federated instances, maybe I'm missing something. Outside the DID portability thing, seems a little like reinventing Mastodon to me. Signed up for the waitlist, will see how it goes. h…
