It's hard for non-technical people to understand that #atproto (Bluesky, and friends) really is a different breed of social software. One where our data, and connections are no longer taken hostage by the platform and we're free to store our data wherever we want

There are some questions about this service, especially since it seems to be from Bluesky (the company): -> github.com/bluesky-social/account-info Is this supposed to be a generic atproto service? Does this "promote" or "ossify" the Blueksy account lexicon now deeply into atproto as the canonical "account"?

Bluesky is scared to commit to making a universal app that works with any atproto lexicon. I am not. And am pretty committed to our social-app fork being able to work with more and more content types (short video, fintech, blogs, music, etc.) Acorn customers get this for their communities too.

Also, will any platforms using acorn have access to these integrations as well?
