The Atmosphere is a rethinking of the Internet, with social connections that you control, built in. It allows you to do more with others, while maintaining more control over your own data and experiences.

& you lose if you say the word "protocol", "decentralized", "repo", or "pds" to illustrate: the cloud is "the thing where i keep my photos when i drop my phone in a lake". if you even mention a "server" while explaining the cloud then you lost the thread

What is the Atmosphere? · Leaflet Lab Notes
“The Atmosphere is an ecosystem of apps that use Atmosphere accounts.An Atmosphere account exists outside of any single app. It consists of a username and a big folder of all the content and relationships a person has. It's public!Atmosphere apps use this folder to create social experiences like blogging, tweeting, and sharing. Because everything is public, Atmosphere apps can create uniquely seamless experiences between themselves!”

Our community has gathered around the concept of Atmosphere. There’s work to do in explaining, culture building, and the concrete task of rallying around a brand / logo, especially around login.

For anyone that has come to a meetup, event, or conference - it’s not faceless. As a community, our goal is to imbue the Atmosphere with feelings and alignment. Designing a logo and brand that grows to mean that is something we need to do together. No one company can carry our flag.
As a community I think we've focus of "what is an atmosphere account?" too much and "what can I do with it?" too little To help with that I've built ATStore, our App Store: - Browse all the Atmosphere Apps - Explore each App's ecosystem - Leave reviews and feedback - Star your favorites

Putting my time where my #atmosphereconf ecosystem mouth is: if any early-stage ATProto team needs help honing their ops or strategy, ping me. If we are aligned, we can find a way to make it work.
