Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains (fortune.com)

I thought this was slightly funny.

Mark Zuckerberg is known these days for wearing t-shirts with Latin phrases on them, especially ones where he compares himself to Julius Caesar.

Bluesky made a shirt in the same style, but theirs says "a world without Caesars" in Latin.

It's fairly easy to understand but you won't really see it and that by design. The point is to make the underpinning so seamless that it feels like a centralized app. The proof of concept is Bluesky, but if you would like to see other services that are completely unaffiliated with Bluesky PBC than check out:

  • whtwnd.com (Whitewind)
    • A longform blogging platform that has its own Lexicon and AppView
  • pinksea.art (Pinksea)
    • An oekaki BBS with its own lexicon and CDN implementation
  • tangled.sh (Tangled)
    • A git forge integrated with atproto, they even have made some additions with regards to knots.

All of these and many more are being built along with infrasstucture plays from the like of Blacksky, Northsky, and Free our Feeds.

Thanks! Maybe I'm just dumb in my own unique way, but I find the practical implications of AT proto hard to wrap my head around. :)
