we have an idea for communities in the app that we're calling "spaces" — places where people can gather around shared interests or social groups. here's a peek at some early prototypes. these are explorations, not polished or final. looking for feedback, esp from community builders 👀

the bsky team is working on various ideas for creating smaller social spaces in the app. which use case is most interesting to you? 1. posting into "topics" that organize public posts 2. posting into "communities" or "groups" that can be public or private 3. posting directly to your followers only

I think using the same name at AT Proto Spaces is a really bad idea that's going to continue to deepen the confusion between Bluesky and the Protocol using it here then puts the burden on every other app using AT Proto Spaces to explain why them using Spaces isn't the same thing as Bluesky Spaces

IMO, it's also fine to rename AT Proto Spaces to solve this. It'll just *really* suck for other apps if they're using the same name.
