New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub
You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.
It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

@bsky.brid.gy username fediversereport.com
if time-to-enshittification-rate (whatever that term at this point even means) is correlated to funding rate, Bluesky's much lower funding rate compared to Twitter in the same stage of the platform's life, it would suggest that it would take quite a while for bluesky to get enshittified. 15milion usd is a pretty low amount of money, and Im guessing they couldve raised a lot more if they wanted to, considering the MAU graphs they can show
