I need somebody smarter than me to explain this.
afaict #ATproto is built on this central database thingy "dldplc" that I know they plan to outsource to a non profit. better but still a problem imo cause non profits can be evil (or just plain dumb) too.
so how does #ActivityPub avoid a centralization problem like this and what are the tradeoffs in the different models?
thanks. #bluesky #mastodon
