HIRE AUTUMN!!!The AT protocol has a fundamental different design than other social networks. There are no siloed instances and every user is associated with their own domain. As Dan likes to put it, a Personal Data Server (PDS) is more like a filesystem for your personal activity. Apps that read those files can read one type of file or many types. User identity lives outside of any one app and we go deep into it on this episode.Show notes:Anisota - A different approach to browsing social mediaFAFOFM Guests starter pack Dan’s blog - Introduction and guest setup - Dan’s background with Blue Sky - What at protocol is built on - Why at protocol matters - At protocol vs. ActivityPub - Identity, portability, and lock-in - Public data, scraping, and AI - Moderation, forks, and the future of AT protocol
