I'm trying to figure out how/why this is different than ActivityPub.

The biggest difference I see is Identity management: atproto.com/guides/identity

That said...

W3C, you say? An "emerging standard" (quickly to be abandoned once deficiencies are identified), you say?

I also find it amusing how Jack and the BlueSky people continue to go out of their way to ignore the fact that AP exists. It has problems that need to be fixed, but just straight ignoring it is pretty funny.

from blueskyweb.xyz:

> The web. Email. RSS feeds. XMPP chats. What all these technologies had in common is they allowed people to freely interact and create content, without a single intermediary.

Missing anything, anyone? Bueller?

They actually do mention it frequently on their blog (https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/3-6-2022-a-self-authenticating-social-protocol ) and they invited Eugen to a discussion about it (there's some PDF floating around).

Inventing a new protocol instead of fixing the current one is very pretentious though. I wonder if they don't want the existing userbase on purpose.
