While most of this post is about Blacksky, there are a couple of sections that focus on the fediverse -- "And yet..." and "A great learning opportunity for the ActivityPub Fediverse"

I do think some kind of separation of user data from servers, like what AT Proto does, is actually quite desirable.

Curious as well to see how Blacksky develops, having that split would be useful.

I just don’t like that PDSes can have their data harvested by whoever, I think data sharing with a server should be opt-in.

Same

Also agreed that sharing should be opt-in (and here on fedi as well).

In terms of Blacksky's approach to private data, Rudy shared this earlier today https://blog.smokesignal.events/posts/3lvehxge7oo2a-atprotocol-record-hydration-building-privacy-aware-views ... the working group on private data is having its first meeting this week, and there are a couple of other proposals as well, so it'll be interesting to see how things converge. Bluesky has said they're going to add it to the protocol but the timeframe isn't clear. My guess is people will go ahead with off-protocil implementations initally and plan to adapt once it's standardized (famous last words).
