@pfrazee.com @masnick.com as with every venture backed business, we will only be able to judge how open and in service of the user what you've built is once we see what the experience is like after you monetize.

What’s the personal website angle here?

A lot of us have started using standard.site for our blogposts. Also you can see in the atproto.com blog we use bluesky posts for replies

bluesky is an AT network app

you can use a decentralized identity (a DID) with the AT network

why atmosphere being a new open network is a better abstraction normies hate the word network There’s a reason why we landed on “internet” and not “internetwork” and I’ll argue it’s because the army knew that its radio operators weren’t engineers and would feel very weird talking about networks

just riffing. for context, this is how i’ve been talking about it for years offline. it’s been effective, but i think we need a multiplicity of approaches. i personally find myself talking about the Atmosphere more with people in the ecosystem, than outside it

the nerdiest part of me feels you should include "it's on track to become an IETF standard, the same level of open common public standard as the Internet itself"

like, we jest, but if you don't include "this is a neutral decentralized platform that is no more governed by money than the Internet is already", people are naturally gonna suspect this is some continuation of Jack Dorsey's original mission of finding a way to sneak Bitcoin into Twitter

This feels closer to a normie elevator pitch but I think it still needs workshopping - re apps: that doesn’t seem to different from web. - not does personal websites one As a dev I understand the points there, but from other pov I don’t see value. Getting close to a “why should I care” tho

Exactly right. This is just a way to convince users this is different from twitter, which has had an api since 2006 which didn’t help users or devs when they sold out. apievangelist.com/2011/01/26/h...

will AT proto ever support real time stuff like chat? can we replace discord with at proto? 👉👈

Great news! @stream.place has real-time chat for a twitchlike experience. @roomy.space is a chat app, though to my understanding it's mainly using atproto for everything around the chat app and rolling their own pds-based protocol for the chat itself. Which, he'll frikkin yeah. We need more (1/2)

only bluesky has jerry though

technically every app that implements support for bsky lexicons has jerry
