With apologies to dril, you don't gotta hand it to them, actually. My best argument against ATProto is that Bluesky, a company that by all apparent actions hates me and would rather that I die, thinks it is in their best interests if I use ATProto.

It may well be that our interests overlap, but I haven't gone too wrong in listening to what my enemies want me to do, then not doing that; it at least works as a pretty good heuristic.
