ActivityPub is more of a zombie project than ATProtocol at this point. AP has plenty of problems this fresh account made to disparage omits.

I'm looking forward to a new protocol that combines the best of what we have with a robust permission system from the start.

Seems you wanted to respond to the OP? I was mainly inquiring about what's AS2.

Isn't that a problem with moderation instead? If ATProto becomes decentralized someday, it'll have the same issue

ATProto actually has a very good moderation design, user choice, anyone can label, and composable. Feeds are similarly well designed for federation.

The moderation tools depend on the implementation of AP, but what I meant is that you depend on each instance's moderation/moderators to be effective at combating spam (and more).

A problem that ATProto will face once/if they really do get decentralized. If some instances are badly moderated, you will suffer the same as with AP

AT does not have instances like AP. You are not tied to the moderation choices of servers. Apps are where moderation happens and is a place where competition can occur. Moderation also largely happens at the network layer, so apps can share moderation or use third party moderation (that is not tied to any app)

It seems like you do not understand the architecture of ATProto and make claims that are not based in reality.
