@mapache can I quote you on this in my piece?
@_elena @mapache They also want to require identity verification for their users, so that fits https://www.t-online.de/digital/internet/id_101092238/soziales-netzwerk-aus-europa-will-elon-musk-konkurrenz-machen-w-statt-x.html
Otherwise, they could just go for EuroSky if they want an ATProto network

@_elena Speaking of which, maybe you could ask somebody working on the BlackSky/NorthSky/EuroSky projects?

I'm writing an article about W Social and I'm mentioning how it's basically a fork of Bluesky / is using its open source code.
Are there any Bluesky / ATProto experts on here willing to help me understand something, in a "explain it like I'm 5" fashion?
Update: all good thanks to @laurenshof 's expert explanation, thank you Laurens ❤️
@_elena @laurenshof are you in Brussels? Maybe this might be interesting for you https://luma.com/9f10yt6f!?

@mapache yes, this was my suspicion too... I have a really technical question about AT Proto and their open source code though... if you could think of anyone who could help, I'm all ears :)
And see you at FOSDEM on Saturday?
@_elena sure. And out of curiosity what is the question

@mapache all good now, Laurens answered for me. It was about Bluesky's "dataplane implementation" and PostgreSQL
-
@_elena So in my opinion. Why W choosed atproto instead of activitypub? It is more interesting for investors to create a platform that can be controlled, even if it is just to introduce ads or control the discourse.

@philvuchetich @_elena @mapache @cwebber
I think everyone that is going to write anything about bluesky and AT Protocol in relation to "federation" should read this first. -
@philvuchetich yes of course I’m familiar with this piece by the legend @cwebber - when she first published it, I shared it with sooo many people. Absolutely brilliant.
In my exposé of W Social I won’t get too deep into protocols, but I may mention this when discussing the costs involved in setting up a fork with its own appview. So thanks for the reminder 🙏
