A bunch of richos have decided that Bluesky is special and cool because there's no billionaires involved, and they're working on building apps on top of AT Protocol - pluralistic.net/2025/01/14/con… freeourfeeds.com/
Basically the idea is that if you make a bunch of frontends, then bluesky will be billionaire proof. In theory, they could then work with AT Protocol alternate relays, assuming that becomes feasible I guess? Doctorow is like "yeah, this is probably good" and now there's people under every Doctorow post being like "Yeah but he thinks Free Our Feeds is smart so he's bad"
