Business models in the atmosphere?!?! Let's talk about how atproto and standard.site can move social media away from enshittifying, attention-based business models towards intent-based business models that better align revenues with openness and interoperability. jshaked.leaflet.pub/3mfrgv2aezc2g

Dear Farcasters, Welcome to the atmosphere ☁️

atproto is so funny. Leading protocol explorer in the previous ecosystem I worked in: Etherscan, a 70-person company with ~$35,000,000 in yearly revenue Leading protocol explorer in the ecosystem I work in now: @pdsls.dev by @juli.ee, it's great

the first building block of an atproto-based social browser

this is awesome!

This! There is a clear conflict of interest running an app view and a PDS. In the future, I expect PDS hosts to run independent of major app views

This feels pretty good for @tangled.sh www.theverge.com/news/757461/...

As atproto apps increasingly choose to verticalize PDS hosting, we need to be weary of user identity/data fragmentation across apps (ironically one of the key problems that atproto/bluesky was designed to solve)

Interesting to see another atproto app vertically integrate PDS

bsky should really emphasize the best part of atproto: the PDS. investors should fund startups selling PDSs, both as a cloud service and a physical self host device. make it clear to users that the biggest benefit of atproto isn’t “one account for all platforms”, it’s “choice in sharing data online”

Idea: build a PDS hosting service that enables creators and publishers to monetize their data

What would be the incentive for an existing web2 service to adopt atproto and become an appview?

We need to create a human-readable namespace for atproto DIDs and records

Does anyone know who built atpage?

In a world where AI/machines reduce execution risk, having the right idea is what matters most

One step closer to building a general-purpose atproto client

One of the most powerful features of crypto/blockchain systems is the separation of user data from application presentation. I can take my identity and token balances with me across apps. Atproto will do the same for the web, taking us from enshittification --> cryptification.

at:// links will be critical in making it easier to traverse the open social web. Well done @ngerakines.me for demonstrating this to the world

With atproto, we can go from monetizing the screen real estate users see (i.e. clients) to monetizing data itself. I believe this subtle difference will lead to a more open and innovative web where data exists and is useful independent of the client it was created in.
