@aral P2P as I see it, is like a DM/PM (private/direct message), e.g. Signal. While not currently supported to be end-to-end encrypted in AT, I believe that's the technical goal.

But that's just one use case. Sometimes you want to broadcast public information (announcements, events, inquiries etc.) and reach as many people as possible to find the right audience. That's the good part of the internet - I can have a niche interest in my village and connect to dozens of people globally.

@aral I get your point, and I've been empathizing with many of your ideas over the years.

I'm more interested in your opinion on the AT protocol itself and whether you see potential in its design, rather than focusing on who funds and runs Bluesky.

Many other protocols (SMTP, HTTP, etc.) are used and capitalized on by VCs. A protocol is just a tool. Or do you see it differently?

@aral hehe, no time for that, or you don't like the AT spec in some way?:)

@aral hey, was wondering will you run your AT protocol server (PDS) at some point?

@aral again, came to Mastodon just to post this to you, as I though you need to know: Coolify. What do you think:)

@aral what a day, if Kitten was already as smooth UX wise as Twitter! There will be other days!:)
