Bluesky's AT protocol is an approach to decentralized social networks with portable identities that keep us separate because we cannot accept the true social network, human instrumentality
I remember reading someone lay out a vision of social media where your entire online presence runs off of a single board computer and you instantly disappear from everything if you turn it off, sounds nice.
i know one dude on Mastodon did that for Pleroma, they have a single user instance and whenever they shut it off, it's just gone

If Instrumentality was open-source, that'd be one thing. I don't trust NERV not to make it subscription based and put ads everywhere.
And that Gendo guy they have running it is sus.
