Bluesky’s new CEO wants a big tent, not a bubble

Bluesky is many different things in a trenchcoat.

On an Atmosphere OS - Scott's Thoughts

What if an Atmosphere account could handle email, groupware, and device-level identity without putting Google or Apple at the center?

How do we talk about atproto to non-developers?

The beauty of AT Protocol is that all of your data from different apps is available on your PDS, your own folder on the internet containing your stuff as JSON. This means that you can switch which app you use to view that data, without losing anything. It also makes it very easy to make connections between data stored using different lexicons, or just display activity in one place. Sifa does a nice job of this on your profile page. For web developers, and people who understand webhosting, the concept is reasonably easy to understand. I know that any atproto app I join is going to store data in my PDS, any other people will be able to see it.
