FOSDEM to host separate ATProto and Social Web devrooms

Original: Interesting. There will be an # ATProto devroom & a Social Web devroom at # FOSDEM . I'd have expected ATProto to be par

FOSDEM, the annual free and open source software conference in Brussels, will feature both an ATProto devroom and a Social Web devroom. Some in the open source community are puzzled by the split, having expected ATProto, the protocol behind Bluesky, to fall under the Social Web track, which they associate with ActivityPub and the fediverse. No devroom is dedicated solely to ActivityPub, prompting questions about how the two communities will be organised at the event.

Why now: People are discussing the unexpected separation of ATProto from the Social Web devroom at FOSDEM, touching on tensions between the Bluesky and fediverse ecosystems.
