There is one aspect of this I feel mixed about: I don’t want folks to trust Bluesky, or believe in atproto, just because of the people on the team. Or because of our track record to date. Teams and individuals change over time, and we mean it seriously when we say “the company is a future adversary”. The bar we are shooting for is to convince people that atproto is legitimate and useful even if Bluesky and the team adopt the worst of intentions. We have a lot of work to earn that kind of trust in the protocol, but it will be all the more meaningful if the goalposts don’t move.
