Guys... GUYS, listen. I am begging you all to think bigger! The Atmosphere may be a fun space to explore how familiar services and apps interact—but it's still just social media. The protocol enables us to change behaviors and solve *systemic* problems It's the thing that gets us TO the thing.

I am thinking pretty big and agree with your thread here. Who do you think needs to hear this? How should it be explained? How can we help support you in what you’re doing with tracklist?

Aside from devs? I believe AT Proto is nearing the stage where we need a platform with impact capital and grant funding. If the community events do not bring us together, then they’re failing to serve people like me at the expense of attending. Messaging across the board must take the gloves off

OK, I'm still not seeing how / what you're reacting to - I respect your PoV. Did you not like the announcement blog post? Or the placeholder conf website? Can you give me an example of messaging that would resonate for you?

I would be happy to organize this all into a more formal call to action. In fact, I’ve been writing a book about it already. But I can’t afford to volunteer those efforts without sponsorship—I’m hopeful that something like NewPublic will recognize my initiative. If there are others, let me know

As mentioned in the announce post, there is a co-operative being formed. It will likely have grant programs over time, and there will be a mix of paid and volunteer work to be done by members.
