Cut from an essay but worth sharing, this is the list of projects I can recall from memory that has tried to make the internet more open. A lot of people have committed their careers to this. People care!

CouchDB brought great ideas such as easy replication between shared and personal databases, including replicated apps, and the ability to host everything offline-first. (Shame desktopcouch did not succeed.) Still trying to wrap my head around atproto. Some ideas seem similar?

It probably has the most in common with RSS/Atom plus PubSubHubbub out of the things listed?

atproto is a blend of a lot of them but the full database replication model + json document orientation is *very* couchdb brained
