hello this is my take on discourse: i don’t think hiding atproto or keeping it out of normie’s view is right. you do have to meet people where they are though, which is why starting with “atproto…” is usually not the best idea (usually =/= always). but atproto **is** a selling point and leaving it

i would like to see more atproto apps that aren’t just “already popular app, but on atproto”

discourse.atprotocol.communitywith a bit of perspective, I wanted to write this post which reintroduces spaces as a new primitive for atproto! spaces are a deeply social & "atmospheric" primitive & I kinda think they uniquely thread the needle on our design goals
