Blue Sky App Serves as 'Lobby' for AT Protocol Ecosystem

Tony Schneider, CEO of Blue Sky, described the Blue Sky app as an 'on-ramp' or 'lobby' to the broader AT Protocol ecosystem. He sees the app as a way to introduce users to the concept of interoperable social networks and the diverse applications being built on the protocol.

I see the the Blue Sky app and the product as enabling the atmosphere. It's an on-ramp or maybe a lobby to the atmosphere.
It's just a great way to get lots of people in, get people exposed to the idea and then realize as you use the product, oh, there's other things here. This isn't just a microblogging app.
