New blog post, a bit of an addendum to my older microblogging protocols comparison post(s) until I do an updated version at some point. It mostly just goes over a handful of big events and shifts I've personally noticed since my last post in the summer of 2024.

This... seems very interesting

#Bluesky is "...standardizing parts of #ATProtocol in an effort to establish long-term governance for the protocol."

"to establish long-term governance for the protocol"

Here: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/taking-at-to-ietf

Also see at #Github:

"Add patent pledge link to README (# 4246)"

"Bluesky Social PBC has committed to a software patent non-aggression pledge. For details see [the original announcement] (https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-01-2025-patent-pledge)."

Here: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/commit/d239f0bcf5e7ed391c8ced32e13aaa4c1324a757

All that said, not sure exactly what it *means* long-term, but it is... interesting

#AT #IETF #Patents

Taking AT to the IETF | Bluesky

Last week we posted two drafts to the IETF Data Tracker. This is the first major step towards standardizing parts of AT in an effort to establish long-term governance for the protocol.
Bluesky

Bluesky's Patent Non-Aggression Pledge - Bluesky

Bluesky develops open protocols. We're taking a short and simple patent non-aggression pledge to ensure that everybody feels confident building on them.

Relay nodes or "servers" are interchangeable and can be used in parallel - as long as a single relay node is reachable, including one on localhost, you have access to the p2p network.

They are proxies to do p2p on behalf of your browser

Here is the preview
https://trulynotafan.github.io/p2p-news-app/

...not much to see yet - and while it might not seem like it, we are getting quite close to completion🙂

Of course - we'll "make it pretty" at some later point maybe, but yeah....

A few questions:

This is very similar to #nostr what is the difference?

Without a user facing front end, it's just tech, and too complex tech at that.

What is the use case as media is public, how would this bridge to #AP and #At etc?

How are external flows of news brought in (almost all news will be reported outside the native network?)

Can it run as a phone app?
