Invasion of the TikTok Clones

Today I need to talk about TikTok and some of the NEW alternatives. It’s 2025. In January of this year while I was visiting LA, I learned about something called the AT protocol or @proto. It has been a very long time since I got this excited about something like an internet protocol. Ultimately this new underlying open-source-protocol-engine thing makes it so that YOU the content creator, not the apps, own your content πŸ’¬πŸ“·πŸŽ¬πŸŽ₯.

After attending the ATmosphere 2025 conference I posted

on WhiteWind and shared the post on Bsky. I’ve also since shared this on LinkedIn.

Introducing whtwnd

whtwnd.com is an open source alternative to Substack built on the ATprotocol.

A lot of thoughts to get out, but kinda proud of how they came together... I wrote a thing... about the future of social apps, hope you read it... whtwnd.com/immber.bsky....
