The rest of Mastodon networks keep humming, exchanging with other fediverse instances and venues.

Bluesky undergoes major attack. Pathetically crashes and disappears from the net. Anything that depends on blewski very centralized servers goes down like a bag of bricks.

Ho, hum.

So many developers going "but, oh, atproto..." DOES NOT MATTER.

ATProto is a trap. Nothing else. It's a DTBO trap of leashing people to yet another walled garden corporate owned prison, that centralizes power in the hands of techno fascist douchebags, and erodes democracy. PERIOD.

They promised something they didn't have years ago pretending to be on the same level playing field as ActivityPub. Now projects are forking off of it but still largely depend on it for the app view / relay and get rate limited (hello Eurosky)
