rsky
An AT Protocol implementation prioritizing community safety and self-governance, written in Rust.
Chiming in to say as the CEO of Blacksky that not only do we have an independent AT Protocol implementation in Rust (https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/rsky)
Not only do we run a fully independent stack (https://docs.blacksky.community/readme/list-of-our-services)
Not only are we getting paid by other orgs to stand up independent app view servers.
We also received a license from Bluesky for the atproto trademark.
There are no qualms in the ecosystem from people making money, getting users, and providing new experiences about this.
It’s not “AT Protocol fans” who aren’t taking issue with this. It’s business with employees and organizations making a positive impact.
It’s easy to criticize if you’re not actively shipping things.
