Oh, it's some different AT protocol (some distributed mambojambo) than Hayes AT protocol.

One thing I'm wondering is how ATproto can be integrated with voice/video chat. Would you combine it with Matrix, XMPP, or some custom protocol?

Spaces really is gonna bring all the features that HN is critical about AT platforms like Tangled.

Private repos are now on the horizon. Huzzah!

You’ll get more traction, by stating way up top what AT is and who should care about it.

Funny how this rhymes with something I wrote in 2011[1][2]: a "universal spreadsheet" where people share not just data but the transformations over it. The pieces are more real now: you can actually free your data from closed services (e.g. Instagram), orchestrate it on something like ATProto, and LLMs make a great new kind of "function" for the system.
