I was thinking about atproto more and had a thought: no one needs to know or care about the protocol. we just need to normalize the idea that it’s bonkers to allow any company to own part of your identity it’s like how you used to lose your phone number if you switched carriers. that sucked

As a Minecrafter who is into AT proto, I'm gonna have to look into @atpcraft.at Minecraft has always been about community for me so I'd like to see how well this works (though, I'm more of a Bedrock player).

European Union officially invites Canada to become first ever ‘associate member’ “We want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. We must urgently reimagine our partnerships.”
