@smallcircles @bhaugen Client apps look simple enough to design, and PDSes look like they are easy enough to self host, but relays, as well as anything that has to process the firehose coming out of the relays like AppViews, Feeds and Labelers, look quite complex and computationally expensive to me.I don't see how AT can reliably federate without depending on organisations with significant computational and bandwidth resources. I also think this makes the AT architecture less private and potentially more vulnerable to a large scale DDoS than the fediverse.

I'm sure that there will be some interesting AT apps that come out of this, but I don't think it is for everybody--it is too "big web" by design. I think"small web" is more fun.
