I'm betting on ATProto (brittanyellich.com)

Brittany Ellich argues that mainstream social media has degraded into ads, division, and loneliness, and she’s “betting on” ATProto as an alternative. She explains ATProto’s core promise—portability and user control over one’s social graph and content across different apps—illustrating this with her experience on Bluesky. After attending ATmosphereConf, she highlights growing interdisciplinary interest in the protocol and notes that she’s building community tooling that can work across multiple ATProto-based platforms.
