You seem to have misspelled "misguided". https://atproto.com/specs/xrpc invents their own RPC, because the 8000 other ones are somehow insufficient for their Web3 ways? Bonus points for https://atproto.com/specs/xrpc#authentication

And that's not even getting into "oh, ok, so my cousin is going to create his own DNS entry, is he?" https://atproto.com/guides/identity#identifiers

https://atproto.com/lexicons/atproto-com#comatprotocreateses... seems to be missing any 2FA parts, spitting in the face of years of "don't get phished" learning

I dont think so. It should not be named AT Protocol... :-(

ATH

Darn it, I initially assumed that this was about AT commands.

Same here. I guess we are very old.

OTOH, companies like these should hire us Elder Things to check whether they are naming something after something people like.

It's not? Hayes compatible all the way!

It was terrible, but it was the best we had.
