One of the Atmosphere’s big bets is that the next 100m users will be won by making decentralised tech + data sovereignty more compelling. I’m less than convinced. We may be solving problems only builders care about, while overlooking problems that actually make ordinary people choose a network.

I'm here because I liked the decentralized social media AND data sovereignty. Mastodon always felt fragmented and "hard to use" (I say loosely). As much respect as I have for it, Mastodon was never as user-friendly as it needed to be for the average person to make the leap. Bluesky fixes that.

I would love to see more non-tech people using Bluesky. That should be the draw, the jumping point. Once here, the greater possibilities become more apparent, even if it's a slow drip of understanding what the possibilities are.
