My experience using ATProto is that it is somewhat like how the nascent blockchain apps were when they first came out: there's no written content that is viable. Instead, you're supposed to use ephemeral conversations and read a widely disparate set of notes in order to use it. In the end, the upshot of all this is that you get to use a slightly worse form of Twitter - which is already rather unpleasant to use for me because there's a lot of rage content there.

Microblogs are fun, and very often I can't justify a whole blog post, but I have seen that others just post their thoughts intermingled and it makes me wonder if perhaps that is what I should do. There's not that much utility to the wide audience anyway. Talking to people who understand you is much nicer anyway.
