1025: The Open Web's second chance (w/ Dan Abramov)
Summary
Dan Abramov joins Syntax to discuss the AT Protocol, the decentralized system behind Bluesky. He explains how it shifts data ownership to users via personal hosting, allowing apps to act as consumers of JSON records rather than walled gardens. The conversation covers technical details like Lexicon schemas, media handling, and interoperability, contrasting the protocol’s app-centric model with Mastodon’s instance-based approach. Abramov also highlights its potential for AI integration and open data access.
