Bluesky, the self-proclaimed savior of open ecosystems, just trademarked AT Protocol to ensure it can be used "widely"—which naturally means locking it up tighter than Fort Knox. 🏰🔒 Because nothing says "open ecosystem" like slapping a #trademark on every possible variant of your precious protocol. 🤦‍♂️📜
