@cwebber "scaling down is not a priority" seems to be the main differentiating factor between the two networks. There doesn't seem to be any practical way for an individual to run an ATProto application top to bottom but honestly thats probably okay. Different folks will likely always want different things from their networks.
@McNeely @cwebber Especially when compared to, say, Snac or GoToSocial, where scaling down is one of the primary goals.
