There Are No Instances in atproto
Summary
Dan Abramov explains that there are no 'instances' in atproto; the concept is borrowed from Mastodon. The piece argues that atproto decouples hosting from apps, enabling easy hosting swaps and diverse applications, and it uses RSS/Google Reader analogies to illustrate decentralization. The main takeaway is that counting instances is misleading; decentralization is achieved by separating hosting from apps and embracing multiple apps built on shared hosting.
