Just learned that Jetstream is a piece of middleware in ATproto and also uses the kind property to define types of content.
Anyhow, Nostr is just superior as a protocol and for me reading this is another acknowledgment.
āAll that said, ATproto seems really interesting to me as an app platform, especially outside the context of microblogging. There are ActivityPub servers that donāt do microblogging, like kbin and Lemmy for Reddit-style link aggregation. But you canāt really use your Mastodon account to, say, submit a link to Lemmy (you might technically be able to? But not like natively in the UI). If I understand correctly, in ATproto, you could do the same thing entirely natively and itād work just like youād expect: you could use the same DID as Bluesky, your posts would get put in your PDS, then the appās relay would aggregate posts and comments and whatever from all PDSes. Jetstream seems like an important piece of this puzzle though, which means that different platforms can run smaller relays that only grab relevant data from PDSesā
