Open social protocols

The three protocols that I think are going to continue to grow and be adopted are:

  • ActivityPub: Meta building Threads with ActivityPub support, and AP's status as a W3C standard will keep it around.
  • ATProtocol: most scalable architecture.
  • Farcaster: crypto-adjacent while also being primarily off chain data. Will be the basis for many crypto-centric social experiences. Innovation of creating Farcaster Frames.

I'm interested in seeing Open Frames work across all of these protocols and beyond.

I'm tracking Open Social DAUs to see what adoption looks like.
