There Are No Instances in ATProto
Summary
The article argues that ATProto does not use the same notion of instances as Mastodon-based platforms. It explains hosting versus aggregation, federation, and the decentralized architecture that ATProto enables, contrasting it with Bluesky/Mastodon experiences and RSS-like paradigms. The piece emphasizes practical implications for decentralization, app development, and user identity within a federated ecosystem.
