I think it is great for folks to experiment with app experiences, and to give folks control over their own experience online. but part of that is publicly debating design decisions, and I think both of these visibility features could have bad outcomes for the network...

#wsocial Just a reminder with corkiejp.github.io/ATProtocolHandler/index.html you can filter out basic handles from other services (also in reverse). Just requires using desktop or mobile browser that supports extensions instead of the apps.

The community hub for apps and people building on AT Protocol
I'm building on atproto because I think that a single social network has essentially no shot of dethroning the current tech monopolies. But an open ecosystem of interoperating apps is so infinitely more interesting than legacy social that it seems almost inevitable it will win

Can everyone building on atproto please answer this question? 😇
I think for the open social web, especially the Atmosphere, separating creation and consumption apps that interop are a really good thing. No app has to be a jack of all trades. Blogging apps can focus on writing and distribution tools, reading apps can focus on aggregation and read later etc. 1/
Guys... GUYS, listen. I am begging you all to think bigger! The Atmosphere may be a fun space to explore how familiar services and apps interact—but it's still just social media. The protocol enables us to change behaviors and solve *systemic* problems It's the thing that gets us TO the thing.
zeu
this is why i love ya'll
Atmosphere social client apps should make it easier to broadcast beyond the protocol. Ex. In-app mirroring tools for Threads, X, and other microblogging platforms. As well as having post scheduling. Let people share across the social internet, but make sure ATproto feels like home base.
