Explores the concept of "open social" through the AT Protocol, drawing parallels between how open source transformed software development and how decentralized social networks could transform social media. The protocol enables users to own their social data in personal repositories while still enabling aggregation features like feeds and notifications. Users can migrate between platforms without losing their social graph, and applications can interoperate by sharing data formats. This approach aims to solve the vendor lock-in problem of current social media platforms where user data becomes trapped in proprietary databases.

This was very interesting and makes a lot of sense. Also to see, that the implementation is already evolving and is not just an idea.
On the other side I am thinking if there are also some privacy implications since everything is public for ever. Well… While i think about it, you can take down your repo… But maybe somebody else has copied it already (since the streams and backing it up is already implemented). But i think this issue exists for all other apps as well…
