We all know by now that I believe in the lexicon black market and an enjoy illegal atproto records. It's not my fault that Bluesky PBC allowed for such shenanigans! If the good lord had intended for us to walk, she wouldn't have invented roller skates.

crate.social — publish structured records to your ATProto PDS
Crate is a custom-lexicon publishing service for ATProto. Define your record types, import from anywhere, query from everywhere.

(2/n) A feature solves one problem well — even delightfully well. But features get copied easily or absorbed into larger products. They have no distribution or adoption model. If your whole thing can become a pane in someone else's app, it's a feature.

blog.ricci.io"atProtocol" was previously trademarked by another company. bluesky pbc now owns it, but it should probably be handed off ASAP. but details TBD. IMHO if the power could be removed from any party (eg, via clever licensing) that would be better than using it as leverage even by a "good" org
I'm posting again this way due to possible settings people might have: If you are interest in what's going on with Blacksky as far as Atproto goes but have been blocked by anyone in the thread, you might find this useful for reading purposes. skythread.mackuba.eu?author=rude1.blacksky.team&po…
