Atmosphere Account is Suffocating Bluesky

Sure Jan, all we need is to change the words internet handle to atmosphere account and magically your signup/login flow is gonna *just work* for the average Joe. WOW!

Stop reinventing the wheel. You are not a billion dollar cooperation that used an ungodly amount of researchers, psychologists, scientists, and testing to figure out what works.

Just use whatever works for the flagship product you are here to replace. Just replicate that experience.

Stop.

Reinventing.

New.

Words.

Atmosphere Purpose

Before you all @ me. Let me tell you that the purpose of Atmosphere is NOT for you to include it on your homepage or your signup flow.

Atmosphere sits between AT Protocol and Bluesky. So that someone can explain to someone what AT Protocol is by talking about Atmosphere.

WHY?

If you ask the average Joe if Email is a protocol, they are not going to say yes or no.

They are going to ask: What is a protocol?

You lose people the moment to say AT Protocol (oh no, yeah it stands for Authenticated Transfer Protocol, yeah so do you know Decentralized Identifiers, yeah no so you're totally in control but its hosted for you but you can totally just self-host a PDS (a PDS? because historically we have really seen people do that on other services like certain distributed technologies where people really did self custody their keys instead of key players emerging and capturing the non tech savvy audiences).

Lets look at flagship AAAlternatives

Lets take our beloved Instagram who is currently a digital space occupied by fascist leadership. The triple A of social.

Do you see Meta Account on the Instagram listing? No?

Lets look deeper, maybe if we click on the hyperlink www.inst*gram.com, maybe we can see more:

OH. So the first thing a person sees is: Mobile number, username or email

AND Password

then "Log in"

Forgot password?

AND ONLY THEN, do we see:

Log in with Facebook

Create a new account

M*ta

And a disclaimer warning.

Did you see Log in with your Meta Account?

I wonder why Meta, would not proudly display the Meta account on the inst*gram page.

I want this shit to work

Please stop Atomosphere Account.

Just. Use. Email. (or username, if you have to).
