this is a psa , if you visit a website that offers to let you sign in with atmosphere/bluesky you should click the little question mark in the top right. if it says "transition:generic", that app can do ANYTHING with the data in your account, short of dms and actually deleting/moving your account..

Bluesky isn’t just one app. It’s part of a much larger ecosystem, and your account is the key. Here are 7 useful apps you can log into with your @bsky.app account that you should know about.

Realizing (duh) that I should have logged into @standard-reader.app via my Bluesky account. I kept wondering why I appeared as "debbieohi.selfhosted.social" instead; turns out I accidentally created an extra account. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I confess I kept assuming "Atmosphere" was some other kind of platform! cont'd

The Atmosphere is a new open network. The features: - Your account works on all atmosphere apps - You can switch to a new provider with no fuss - Easy to make your own apps on it - Works great with personal websites And, Bluesky is an atmosphere app.

Atmosphere Account is now an Atmosphere App. What started as an account provider page is becoming an App Store-style registry for the Atmosphere: project profiles, discovery, screenshots, reviews, updates, and protocol-native records. Check out the explore page: atmosphereaccount.com/explore

So this is one of the cool things about apps in the Atmosphere. They have to declare what stuff in your account they're going to touch.

I think it’s time to elevate the Atmosphere branding as ‘your everything-account for the Internet’. Bluesky is not “the last social identity you’ll ever have to create”, your Atmosphere identity is. Bluesky = one of many Google apps Atmosphere = your Google account

That’s not what this is. You can sign up for tangled completely independently of Bluesky. And once you’ve done that, you can use that same account to login to any other app in the Atmosphere, still without ever touching Bluesky.

reminder: the biggest atmosphere app in existence (bluesky) does not even have OAuth yet and has total access to your account scopes will come to @anisota.net, but it’s gonna take a bit longer & the lack of scopes is not due to forgetfulness or low quality… scopes didn’t exist when i made anisota

Here’s my account on Flashes, a photo sharing app. All my followers can automatically find me as soon as they log in! This is what we mean when we say Bluesky is open: your identity and followers belong to you. It took 30s to sign up for this new, independent app, and everything is there.
