Northsky Social
The worker cooperative states:
We’re excited to announce NorthSky Social Cooperative where we are building a new ATproto platform for the benefit of marginalized communities that prioritizes the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. After increasing hostility toward these communities we are taking action to provide a platform built by and for us.
They go on to say:
A shift towards federation has enabled the survival of marginalized communities and @bsky.app which developed the AT Protocol has created a foundation for us to build Northsky Social on top of. As such we will be fully compatible with @bsky.app where users will be able to communicate across the federated ATproto space.
The ATproto is still tied to the main bluesky instance. They should just use activity pub.
They seem to know something about marketing, and specifically about how to sell a website to the public, which would put them ad odds with everyone else running AP-based websites.
Well, they've already stated that they are going to be using ATproto.
Yeah... I think that's bad.
