One of the cool things about this community is that many folks are willing to give up parts of what they’ve been working on individually in the hopes of creating something that’s interoperable. That can be rare in developer spaces. A lot of times, people are working on the thing they want to work on and don’t want to make concessions to build something that works for more people. This makes sense if you’re building something to make money on it… one person owning something generally results in a better return on investment than three or four people sharing ownership. But the incentives around ATProto don’t reward that kind of selfish building. Yes, there are situations where it makes sense for a specific app to be its own thing, but there are also a lot of reasons for the community to work together, and the community is filled with incredibly smart, talented, and dedicated humans who are all working towards the same goal.
