A quick technical review šŸ§µ on AT Protocol (Bluesky) and Farcaster. Both protocols have quite similar objectives, but they have very different design. First, identity. Both want account portability where user can migrate identity to a new service provider without existing serverā€™s cooperation (unlike Fediverse).

The legacy system of registry and registrar makes it hard to be fully automated (even if we ignore the fees). Thus, most users would rely on subdomain names offered by service providers (e.g. *.bsky.social) because setting up DNS is too technical. But this possibly defeats the purpose of account portability. 6/n
