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.

What's Next at Bluesky - Bluesky
As we head into 2026, we're entering a new phase for the Bluesky app. Last year was about scaling through rapid growth and getting the fundamentals in place. This year is about leaning into what's working and investing more intentionally in the things that make Bluesky different.
Is Bluesky dying?
An attempt to untangle a few different arguments around the future of Bluesky – if it has one
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.

Anisota for Bluesky & the Atmosphere
A new, more peaceful kind of social media interface that helps you be offline more and online better. For Bluesky and the Atmosphere.
i’m of the opinion that they’re both kinda useless in the bluesky app now AND have been a brilliant psyop (complimentary) that’s had the biggest impact on spreading the word about the atmosphere

look at the impact these simple distinguished @standard.site embeds have had and imagine what will happen with deeper integration between atproto apps
When @bsky.app pulls this kind of crap often, whilst also expecting the community to do the heavy-lifting in actually convincing people to try out the AT Protocol... it's really difficult to feel hopeful about the future of Bluesky and its constituents. I imagine many agree with this stance.
Rude1 Haunted Badness. ⁂
Bluesky’s statement deriding Threads users as “guinea pigs” is not representative of Blacksky Algorithms, the atproto ecosystem or the open social web more broadly. Communities form around communication networks. And communities should never be trolled for whatever tool helps them find each other.
As @ricardo.bsky.social might put it, the infrastructure behind the Bluesky app is becoming more like a product (as opposed to a project). A natural evolution would be to charge Atmosphere app developers who piggyback on it and would like to have standard commercial SLAs and technical support.
AT Protocol Developers
Today we’re launching Bluesky Protocol Services, a new brand and website for the infrastructure Bluesky operates. And Jetstream v2, the best way for developers to use atproto at scale, now with network replay. atproto.com/blog/introducing-bluesky-prot…
✨ Atmosphere devs ✨ Bluesky is integrating Standard Site, and our initial work should be released in the next few days. Here's what that means for publishers and apps in the ecosystem: github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discus… If you have questions or comments, please leave them on the GitHub Discussion thread!

github.comover time as business models and extraction points move up and down the stack. i think em's answer might be the most realistic one in 2026-- the entirety the ATP userbase mandatorily moderated by (or acc to the standards of) bsky that thinks of it all as "bsky apps" is on the bsky platform, i think.
Hello! I've been at Bluesky for a bit over a month now and have a lot of thoughts, which are now going to be tucked away in this cute lil blog on @pckt.blog First up: Atmospheric Groups, an effort that we are working on in the Atmosphere community that I'm very excited about 👀👀
