Realizing (duh) that I should have logged into @standard-reader.app via my Bluesky account. I kept wondering why I appeared as "debbieohi.selfhosted.social" instead; turns out I accidentally created an extra account. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I confess I kept assuming "Atmosphere" was some other kind of platform! cont'd

we are starting to see the fan out of atmospheric apps and all of them are calling your account a different thing imo the identity of your account - whatever it ends up being called - needs to get settled very soon Internet account, Atmosphere account, whatever… just SOMETHING

I think it’s time to elevate the Atmosphere branding as ‘your everything-account for the Internet’. Bluesky is not “the last social identity you’ll ever have to create”, your Atmosphere identity is. Bluesky = one of many Google apps Atmosphere = your Google account

If I’m posting from the @mu.social app and reading on the @mu.social website and I’m hosted by @eurosky.social and my posts are bridged via @ap.brid.gy to the fediverse, do we still say I’m on Bluesky? And if not then what?

That’s not what this is. You can sign up for tangled completely independently of Bluesky. And once you’ve done that, you can use that same account to login to any other app in the Atmosphere, still without ever touching Bluesky.

A new European microblogging app? Used to be the case that meant starting all over again. Not this time: I just logged in with the same @eurosky.social account I use for @bsky.app and it works. Starting to see the potential of decentralised socials.

Bluesky isn’t just one app. It’s part of a much larger ecosystem, and your account is the key. Here are 7 useful apps you can log into with your @bsky.app account that you should know about.

The frustrating thing about this is that when you "Login with Bluesky", you're not even actually logging in with Bluesky The App. You may be using a Bluesky PBC-hosted PDS, but it has nothing to do with @bsky.app, other than it's the PDS you're assigned when you create an account on their client.

this is a psa , if you visit a website that offers to let you sign in with atmosphere/bluesky you should click the little question mark in the top right. if it says "transition:generic", that app can do ANYTHING with the data in your account, short of dms and actually deleting/moving your account..

ATProto devs did you know you can use selfhosted.social for users to create brand new accounts on the atmosphere in your applications? Both deckbelcher.com and blento.app uses our PDS. A user's journey into the atmosphere does not always have to be started from Bluesky. It can start from your app.

Your Bluesky account is a lot more than just a Bluesky profile. For instance, I also use @leaflet.pub (website/newsletter), @grain.social (pictures), @popfeed.social (movies, TV shows), @bookhive.buzz (books), @tangled.org (code), @margin.at and @semble.so (social bookmarks). #EconSky

reminder: the biggest atmosphere app in existence (bluesky) does not even have OAuth yet and has total access to your account scopes will come to @anisota.net, but it’s gonna take a bit longer & the lack of scopes is not due to forgetfulness or low quality… scopes didn’t exist when i made anisota

Here’s my account on Flashes, a photo sharing app. All my followers can automatically find me as soon as they log in! This is what we mean when we say Bluesky is open: your identity and followers belong to you. It took 30s to sign up for this new, independent app, and everything is there.
