Sorry was a day today.

The web is more tumblr inspired, but the mobile app has a different design and you may enjoy that one instead.

The app is made by a different person with different design ideas!

@jaredwhite Yes, I think that's the big question, whether the larger Atmosphere will survive Bluesky's inevitable enshittification. A year ago, I would've said, probably not.

Today, I don't know. Maybe?

Well there are the people working at Bluesky the company (doesn't seem to be my crowd either) and then there's the development community trying to make the Atmosphere independent from them.

Not super familiar with the second group, other than folks I already know from here, but I do give them some benefit of doubt.

I mean, some of them are doing some interesting stuff, and again, trying to create independence from Bluesky the company. And that's quite commendable.

Yeah, I'd prefer to see them put in the effort here, but fediverse development is arguably more challenging, and with a smaller and less diverse userbase, probably less rewarding.

@coreysnipes I do like that there is interest in implementing some of the better ideas here, things like portable identity, or at least better migration.

But we all know here there is just not enough funding for all the work that's needed.

Yes, Bluesky/Atmosphere is heavily subsidized right, but still, there is a ton of momentum and excitement around it.

There are people putting in the effort to make the ecosystem more decentralized, many don't like how much control Bluesky the company has.

And they might just very well succeed.
