If I have an existing Mastodon account and I bounce it to ATProto, will I be able to combine its graph with my existing ATProto account?

Congrats Gaël and great speech. You're spot on that science and technology are done in the context of society and them alone are not enough to make the world a better place. Society also needs the pursuit and embrace of truth and knowledge.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."

‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”

So a napkin is a little tablecloth.
