BlueSky claims that AT Protocol, commonly referred to as "The Social Internet", is a networking idea created by Bluesky to support the next generation of social apps.
Overall, Dorsey's new platform will provide a challenge to any business looking to control the same principles that make social media what it is. “The AT Protocol is a new federated social network. It integrates ideas from the latest decentralized technologies into a simple, fast, and open network," BlueSky added.
The AT protocol uses Account portability, algorithmic choice, interoperation, and speed all at once to set itself apart from the competition. "A person's online identity should not be held by businesses with no accountability to their users," BlueSky remarked in response to the question of what the account portability function permits. It firther said, "You may switch service providers using the AT Protocol without losing any of your data or social network."
