On one hand atproto has content-addressed storage and portable identity that AP still lacks (but could have!), on the other hand atproto is far more centralized. The data layer is decentralized but everything on top is effectively centralized. Phrases like "practical decentralization" and "credible exit" are used to describe this design.

Whooo those are some doublespeak phrases if I've ever heard them.

Credible exit? What is that supposed to mean?

Credible exit was popularized by the co-author of ActivityPub.
