And what common protocol is that? If it doesn't talk to Fediverse servers using those servers' protocol, then it's not part of the same network.

ATProto is it's own protocol / network of social media services that are communicating with each other?

So we agree that it is a different network? It is not the network that is the Fediverse?

The "Fediverse" (capital F) refers to the social media platforms utilizing ActivityPub, specifically. I don't believe there's any agreed-upon name for such a network on ATProto, since Bluesky is the only platform actively using it.

They use the term 'Atmosphere' which is, admittedly, a really good play on words.
