AT seems like pretend decentralization. theyve just hidden the important centralized layers in services controlled by 'the big guys' because 'traffic volume'...

so its still going to be a bunch of endpoints(instances) required to talk to these giant relays if you want any users to see any content whatsoever.

no thanks. the more i read, the more this is an over-engineered nightmare not reallly offering any benefit for those nightmares.

barrier to instance entry is still deep, and reliant on a giant ex-twitter corporation to exist.
