    Episode 7: Into the ATmosphere

    In this episode, we discuss AT Protocol, a technology that underpins Bluesky and many believe is the future of social media. ATProto pioneer Boris Mann @bmann.ca educates us about AT Protocol, where it's used, why so many people are excited about it, and even how it's pronounced. Breaking news: In the episode, we discuss software patents as they relate to ATProto standardization. Today, Bluesky published a patent pledge vowing to "not enforce any of the patents on any software invention Bluesky Social owns now or in the future." The pledge includes IP related to ATProto.
