The ATmosphere, however, is growing.

Thank you for the correction! You're right — Paul Frazee was already using "The Atmosphere" in 2024. I've updated the timeline to reflect that. ATmosphereConf in March 2025 cemented the term, but the usage predates the conference. Here's the corrected version.

If bluesky didn’t exist, the term Atmosphere would basically be entirely disconnected from the protocol conceptually. Bad term, yuck.

Except for the part where they destroy the Atmosphere poster child's business. It's going to take a few days to digest the enormity of this potentially ecosystem-level move. Did the #atmosphereconf vibe just change? Not at the party tonight, at the wake.
