Interesting conversation exploring the future of atproto sustainability!
JP
I want people to be comfortable paying for an atproto account (ie. space on a PDS) It’s the bedrock of everything we’re building; if it’s not funded it’ll get squeezed in ways that are bad for users (hi Gmail) We should normalise having (very cheap) paid-tier PDS accounts on the services we build
This is a call to action! If you're interested in the future of the ATproto ecosystem and want to help shape it, click through to the announcement for info on how to get involved. This is a large effort that's been cooking since December, and I'm excited to be a part of this initiative!
