The internet runs on creators, and creators depend on their fans. But that relationship has always been locked inside platforms who didn't build it and don't deserve to own it. We're taking the first step in changing that with a new experiment: ATProtoFans 🧵
👋 Hello, Bluesky! We're ATProtoFans, a new way to support creators you love.

How it works: you make a one-time payment, and both you and the creator get a permanent, verifiable record stored in your ATProtocol accounts.

[extremely Ghostbusters voice] Bussi and the team's good
Meanwhile in Carolina, Brandon Bussi just improved to 9-1-0 to start his career.

He’s only the 5th goalie in NHL history with 9 wins in their first 10 starts. The others:

Igor Shesterkin (2019-20)
Freddie Andersen (2013-14)
Bob Froese (1982-83)
Frank Brimsek (1938-39)
