   Why AT Protocol and not #ActivityPub? I find it strange the #Fediverse isn't mentioned at all

     @muiiio @af @pluralistic I’d rather stay out of it. Hope it’s great and we get yet another alternative. USains are doing their thing, I’m doing mine¹. I’m really only interested in commenting/focusing on what I’m working on. Hope you understand.

     @af I'm a really big fan of his and I suspect he may have a good reason, but I don't know... I would actually ping him @pluralistic

     Also wonder what @aral thinks

     @muiiio oh. I’m saying that some of the motivation of people in the group are motivated by profit.

     It’s also disappointing to see Cory Doctorow in the list of supporters.

     @muiiio because AT Protocol has blockchain crap in it, and it would require millions to stand up a separate instance to bsky so it creates little fiefdoms.

     @muiiio @af @pluralistic Actually, screw that, having looked into properly, this is bullshit. Mozilla? Social Web Foundation (partners with Meta?) Bluesky (VC-funded). $30M?

     No, fuck off. This is yet more Silicon Valley bullshit.
