this latest “bluesky is dying” wave feels like a good time for me to reshare the talk i gave at Atmosphere Conference 2026 i’m biased of course, but i think it does a pretty damn good job of explaining how we got here and where we’re going i’ve never felt more certain that atproto will “win”
From Toilets to Moths: The Future of Social Media is Weird and Not for Everyone

It's important to understand: social networks are not meant to be one-size-fits all! When Meta (which makes Threads, as well as Facebook and Instagram) creates platforms that have hundreds of millions of users, they do things like enable genocides, where tens of thousands of innocent people die.

An in-person conference focused on AT Protocol that powers Bluesky and the wider ATmosphere. Seattle, March 22nd & 23rd 2025.
Overview: Bluesky and the ATmosphere | Mathew Lowry's Hub | MyHub.AI
The ATmosphere is the information ecosystem based on ATproto, the protocol developed by and for Bluesky. More interconnected apps are emerging. The potential for better online conversations is profound... if adequate revenue streams can be confirmed.

Luke Kanies | Building on ATProto
Bluesky’s Atmosphere Protocol has the chance to become the base for a whole generation of applications. But it’s developing in surprising and disappointing ways.

Hey #ATDev — if you're raising now, or thinking about it soon, a friendly tip: Don't expect your deck's audience has spent more than two seconds thinking about Bluesky or ATProto. Don't assume any priors. 1/6
The sooner the Atmosphere becomes less Bluesky-centric, the better for everyone, include Bluesky PBC. It's fantastic to have bsky as a launching pad, but the Atmosphere's potential is so so much bigger. Let this year be the year we have big succesful apps where the bsky association is incidental.
