the general bsky userbase being a lil dismissive of the standard.site integration is a reminder that this whole atproto atmosphere ecosystem is a long game. not everyone will be on board, and that's ok! we'll be ready to welcome people into a decentralized social future as big social fades away :)

was thinking this the other day. at least one of these apps needs to grow on its own merits, apart from Bluesky, before the Atproto idea really takes hold. and I think one will, someday!
I think the day a non-bluesky atproto app really takes off on its own terms will be a huge moment. until then, “Like [insert popular social media app] But With Atproto” just won’t be a killer logline
