...and hope the DX is a little better by then. Heck maybe it already is, it's been a couple years since I looked into it.

The short answer is: I'm not betting on one over the other. I'm building on AT right now because of the DX and because AT fits my specific use-case better. When I want to build something that fits AP better, I'll use that instead...

I think Browt is the cutest, but I'd feel like I'm cheating on Rowlet. So I'm gonna have to go for Pombon when the time comes.

Though I'm a white dude who is almost 40, so I both have a predisposition to Beastie Boys and mostly listen to music I know from high school, so that's probably part of it. Fr tho, I remember in high school going to the midnight release with my dad at Newbury Comics.

Twenty-something years later and I'm not sure there's another album that makes anti-racism, anti-homophobia, and vaguely leftist politics sound as common-sense, chill, and downright fun as To The 5 Boroughs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfqU...

Finally a way for me to be even more annoying with my constant "I don't use Spotify, is it on Bandcamp?" apink.bandcamp.com/track/murder...

Always remember that social media is trying to trick you into having an opinion about everything. But you are still free to take the power back by Not Having An Opinion.

Plus it's a heck of a lot of work to internalize the details of _one_ of these protocols and the technical and social systems they enable, much less two. Or more. Anyway, I know you, Bailey, know this so tbc this isn't directed at you - or any specific person. Just general patterns I've seen.

And there are folks like that in atproto spaces just as there are in AP, tbc. I think there's much to be gained from working across communities and protocols, but that requires empathy and curiosity rather than sniping at one another from our own trenches (not a specific or personal accusation).

If you want a self-contained community space you own that can optionally federate with other such spaces, you might want AP. atproto is trying to solve slightly different problems in slightly different ways. And that's okay. But folks have trouble seeing past their own use-cases and mental models.

When I talk to casual AP folks about this, the disconnect often turns out to be atproto is less tangible in its decentralization. Like a nerd with a $5 VPS isn't docker compose upping a self-contained "bluesky server" for their friends that interacts with other "bluesky servers." And that's fair.

📊 I’m conducting a very simple market research survey for the next @fediforum.org on growing the open social web. It would be great if folks could forward this questionnaire link to anyone (16+) who doesn't already work on or research social networks or open social: form.typeform.com/to/ntzoOyqB
