Good counter to the focus on protocols.

> a protocol needs to achieve two things: it needs to prevent the accumulation of power imbalances between parties … and it needs to make it easy for users to cooperate in building the the rules they want for how the protocol’s operation affects them … the success of decentralisation and … of a democratic digital world **rides not only on liberation but also on organising**.

    @poVoq Cloud providers aren’t commodified, they’re not interoperable. You’re comparing a protocol with specific design to enable commodification with proprietary platforms. If you don’t understand the properties of ATProto that target that, your critiques are going to go well wide.
