Better than the eyeball-scanning ghouls.

  atproto is currently permissionless world readable, that seems worse to most people (I asked low 100s) than being in a siloed platform with some amount of control over who can see their content
  oh, maybe you mean Sam Altman's World with their eye scanning for identity, that is quite dystopian

    Spaces are in alpha and implemented in at least 4 PDS codebases. Until then there's a lot of use cases where world readable is not a problem, like personal blogs or instagram/twitter style social media.
    I think a model where public really means public and private means private is more clear to users than a closed platform where neither is true. Facebook is actively using your private posts for ad targeting and they can remove your public content at any time for no reason. With atproto that can only happen if you pick a bad hosted PDS out of many.
