Adding follow imports is incredibly easy given how simple all the schemas for follows are.

i think you're not thinking through how complicated this makes things (follower counts for one). We tried this and it was a nightmare.
I feel like I understand what your point is but this is just so much easier said than done.

We spent so many months debating this and we put so much effort into implementing Bluesky follows, blocks and feeds. We spent months chasing the ideal you’re describing.
It’s just not as simple as you make it out to be.

Short answer: we actually already tried doing bluesky lexicon and the whole debate over it and different implementations took months so i'm honestly so over this debate.
Long answer: i'm actually not over it and our whole journey with it is what my talk proposal at atmosphereconf is about

“should my atproto app re-use Bluesky’s follow/profile lexicons?”
my 2 cents: in your onboarding flow, let users choose to “connect” an existing social graph & set it as the default, or start fresh w/ a new social graph
like feeds, users should be able to choose their social graph & use multiple

Definitely room for UX exploration, but no-ones has a single social graph. It's the biggest lie zuck ever told. 😅
There's a lot of writing on this, but a decent place to start is Erving Goffman; we wear different masks and perform to different audiences depending on social context.

We're working on how to best interoperate. We will definitely add a way to view Bluesky posts.

Oh fuck @danabra.mov reposted so this is where I have to confess that the app uses flutter but it wasn’t my choice and it’s not a choice I ever would have made. 😔

I had been using a mix of GLM 4.7 and MiniMax M2.1 for small tasks and Claude Opus 4.5 through Zen for big tasks, but now that ChatGPT auth is supported, it's clear GPT 5.2 Codex got WAY better while nobody was paying attention. It might be my new go-to.

Anthropic shut off OpenCode's access to Claude Pro/Max auth last night, and in retaliation OpenAI added support for OpenCode auth with ChatGPT Plus/Pro.

the thing that makes me angry is that the people leading this utterly individualist blame game almost certainly call themselves leftists.
they're just diverting attention away from ai companies and onto underpaid contributors who commit the crime of making their work slightly easier.
