ATProto and the ownership of identity


The new age of social-enabled apps

This paves the way for all kinds of new “social-enabled” services to emerge: forums, long-form writing, and potentially even more complex ones like code forges and more—all sharing the same account. The same behavior is rather cumbersome in the above fediverse model because of poor interoperability and lack of unified identity. There’s a ton of cool stuff being built atop it already and as the network and protocol improve, I predict a new age of social apps with user-owned identity at its core.
