Interesting project, but...

> BUILT ON OPEN STANDARDS. PRIVATE WHEN NEEDED.

> Running a private group chat? As soon as the AT protocol supports private data, we'll work on implementing it and giving you the option to create private communities.

Not exactly "private when needed" then, is it? It's disingenuous to even mention this in the marketing copy.

Valid point! I'll get that section removed for now and either reword it later, or re-add when the protocol supports it.

The problem for atproto will be getting a permission system that can enable enough parity with Discord that it has a competitive experience.

I was working on this, taking a break from atproto, re: bluesky "leadership" who defacto decide what does and does not get into the protocol via the PDS used by 99% of users.
