claude lists it first whenever i ask it what atproto is for

screenshot of an interaction with claude

my prompt:

what problems does atproto solve? atmosphere, the protocol under bluesky

claude's response:

• Account portability: Users can move between hosting providers (PDSes) and keep their identity, followers, and posts. The old server does not need to cooperate.
• Identity lock-in: Identity is a DID, not a server address. Handles are domain names, so users can use a domain they own.
• Data authenticity: User data lives in signed repositories. Anyone can verify it no matter who hosts or relays it.
