Can someone suggest better alternatives for existing big tech technologies?
Some alternatives I've found:
1. Social media: @bsky.app
2. Messaging service: @signal.org
3. Google: DuckduckGo, SearXNG
4. Mail: ProtonMail
5. VPN: ProtonVPN
Not sure for other tools like YouTube and FB marketplace.

Paris cleaned up the Seine by fixing sewers, building stormwater basins, and pulling out trash—enough that people can swim there for the first time in 100 years. Social media needs the same: infrastructure fixes, not cosmetic tweaks.

I’ve published a long-form guide for how companies, communities, and creators can use Bluesky to grow their brands — you can check it out on @atpota.to.
It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid start that I’ll keep updated!

What’s the solution to having all these different messaging platforms like Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Messenger? Is there something out there where users can directly communicate cross-platforms with E2EE or do we all have to switch to one app for E2EE to work?

Can someone direct me to sources to understand what the ATProtocol is? I still don’t completely understand it. Does it mean anyone can move data between apps built on the protocol? Can we communicate between users using different apps?

I'm an advisor to this startup, whose product is a trust & safety-minded E2EE messenger (two great tastes that taste great together). Having E2EE for Bluesky DMs is hella good - this is very exciting!
Yes, you read that right. Germ DM is integrating with #ATProto, bringing you best-in-class E2EE DMs with your Bluesky handle.
Be first to try it in beta, coming sooner than you think.

“Do you HEAR the PEOPLE sing?

It is the music of a people
Who will NOT be SLAVES again!
When the beating of your HEART
Echoes the BEATING of the drums
There is a LIFE about to START
When TOMORROW comes!“
