> Is ATProto actually the better protocol for its intended purpose?
Sure. If the purpose is to speedrun the history of Titter; stand up a feature-parity replacement quickly, get bought by dodgy capitalists quickly, enshittify quickly.
If the purpose is to be part of a long term social web ecosystem that continually redistributes power to the edges, then no. WordPress, with their network effect, could have made up a vanity protocol too. But they didn't. Same with Discourse.
