shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn’t a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.
Ironic when X shuts out anyone who isn’t logged in and shuts out anyone who doesn’t pay for a blue checkmark from having visible replies.
Having an X account isn’t consequence-free - if it becomes where updates occur, people have to sign up for an account and subject themselves to nazis everywhere and all manner of crypto spam just to see updates. And they have to pay Elon tribute to be heard in response. It’s crazy that anyone sees it as being friendly to users.
I don’t know enough detail about the AT proto, but I wonder if it’s actually technically possible to block access to posts without also blocking federation.

Kinda wondering who in that community is going to bat for Elon Musk after the last two weeks.
Nazis.
Agreed. Notably, Bluesky doesn’t require an account to read posts.
Yet
