What does this mean to someone unfamiliar with these acronyms?
Atproto (protocol powering bluesky) will be further developed and standardized by the ieft (Internet engineering task Force), a group separate from the for-profit bluesky PBC
Oh that’s so amazing! I’ve been smitten with AT Protocol since I learned about it from their paper. I have such high hopes it gets more widespread.
What’s good about it and what’s it good at?
I really like how it splits data hosting an applications, the only public facing part of the network you need to host is a pds, you can use clients that work entirely locally, such as appviewlite, or reddwarf.app.
