There will be organizations that use open social protocols in ways you do not like and throw money behind them. Some will even throw money behind alternate protocols.
A protocol is not *the* solution. A platform is not *the* solution.

The reason that's possible is because they've taken various actions to reduce their dependency on Bluesky's systems.

It's an account for Atmosphere apps.

It's not a "Bluesky" account, a lot of us don't host our account there, and hopefully less will over time.
Atmosphere came from the community, we build as a community.

I wrote about what I've been calling "The Everything Account"
If you're familiar with The Atmosphere, you already know how to get one, and this should hopefully help you explain it to others.
For those of you who aren't, you'll be surprised to know you already have one; here's how you use it:

A social media platform. An AI research lab. A space exploration company.
A social media platform.
An AI research lab.
A space exploration company.
Are you getting it?
These are not three separate companies. This is one company. And we're calling it X or something.

Hot (?) take: if your microblog thread is more than 8 posts long, it should be a blog post, unless it specifically makes sense to break them in 300-500 characters

If interoperable protocols are too complicated for the average person, it's our job to make them simpler to understand, whether through education or user experience.
Saying something is too complex, throwing your hands up, and handing the incumbents the keys isn't the right solution.

Turns out, W may run on ATProto. Dope.
Probably should've led with that in the initial PR cycle, and I wish they had given props to other folks building ATProto infra in Europe as well. Not too late to do so!

Convinced people who say Apple products "just work" have never actually used any other product, or at the least didn't give them a fair chance bc they thought it would make them look uncool. I've never had to configure any device more than a MacBook.
