#SCOTUS just let #Trump take an ax to scientific #research. Justice Jackson's blistering dissent: "By
today’s order, an evenly divided Court neuters judicial review of grant terminations by sending plaintiffs on a
likely futile, multivenue quest for complete relief... With potentially life-saving scientific advancements on the line, the Court turns a nearly century-old statute aimed at remedying unreasoned agency decision-making into a
gauntlet rather than a refuge."

This is a fantastic intro to the open social web tech under the hood of the Bluesky app.

I know folks here are sometimes apprehensive about what the Bluesky PBC is building, but I think it's worth understanding why a whole bunch of nerds like me are excited about AT Protocol, even though we also cheer for, build on, and spread the word about ActivityPub.

@mackuba does a great job of simplifying complex ideas, and I highly recommend giving this a read.

I've been working for some time on an "Introduction to #ATProto" blog post, and it's finally ready 🙂 It goes through basic things like records, lexicons, DIDs, then PDSes/AppView/relays etc. and how it all works together.

It's an intro to AT Proto. I don't see how calling it an intro to "the open social web tech" is helpful, since there is no such thing--there is ActivityPub, and there is AT Proto, and they are distinct protocols. An intro to one is not an intro to the other.

@Gargron I think we have two different definitions of "the open social web." I consider any open social protocol that enables cross-platform interop (and cross-protocol interop for that matter) as a part of that umbrella.

ATProto, therefore, is open social web tech in the same way that ActivityPub and Nostr are, based on that definition.

curious gargron, how do you define 'open social web'? is it activitypub, activitypub+atproto, activitypub+atproto+whatever else? i dont think theres a correct or wrong answer here, just that im seeing different people define the term differently, and wondering where you fall

@laurenshof When I was using the term a relatively short period a few years ago, it was a less technical term for "the fediverse" to me. However, as soon as people started using it as an umbrella term for multiple incompatible technologies I moved back to using "fediverse". "Open social web" perfectly describes the abstract goal of where we want these technologies to take us, but it is too broad to be useful when talking about the technologies themselves in my view.

@Gargron I too have started separating "the Fediverse" from other protocol-based networks, like "the ATmosphere", but also say "open social web" as the combination of these spaces. I'm not sure anyone has *decided* if these terms have formal meanings, but I'm more than happy to use specific terms if we all ever align on them!

(I doubt we ever will, but I guess the chaos is kinda part of the fun?)

It does not natively speak ActivityPub. It can optionally bridge to the Fediverse. Its core codebase is not “an ActivityPub server” and does not internally use AP objects for everything.

@bmann.ca @laurenshof By that logic, Mastodon is not "an ActivityPub server", since it does not internally use AP objects for anything. By that logic nothing speaks ActivityPub "natively". Of course, in reality, it, like Mastodon, does speak ActivityPub natively. I can request a Threads actor and receive the JSON-LD directly from the Threads domain without any bridging services.

@knowtheory.net @bmann.ca @laurenshof I’m confused by your use of “then”. What in my statement relates to bridging services? If you need a bridge to communicate with something, then it doesn’t speak the protocol natively. If you don’t, then it does.
