@mollyjongfast.bsky.social Sounds like more than a shot across the bow unless they come up with some credible charge pretty quickly. If not, it's a clear end of an era.

A reminder — there are *millions* of social sites on the internet, like Storygraph for your reading and Ravelry for your knitting, etc. It’s only the biggest, run by the extremist fascists, that do these terrible things. Don’t define the internet by a handful of apps run by 5 sociopaths.

(This is the list, not sure why that didn’t come through.) The thing to keep in mind — Big Tech doesn’t define the internet. There is *still* a healthy, thriving independent internet of creators, just like there are stores beyond Walmart and restaurants beyond McDonald’s. Find them, support them.

Adding to Anil's reminder, as atproto becomes more robust, there's increasingly less reason for any "alt" social media site to build its own technical infrastructure from scratch.
Social interaction deserves to be built into the fabric of the web.

ATProto is more like S3 or even MySQL than it is like Mastodon, ActivityPub or RSS. It's just a place for me and my app users to store their data. They can host it themselves or not. They can then put it on the web, or not. It's up to them #atproto
