[DESIGN] paper-centric rather than user-centric accounts #1

This is a great project!

Design Proposal

Yesterday, I posted a thread on Bluesky arguing that giving papers their own Bluesky accounts might be useful:

Bluesky thread

I've just starting looking at chive, and from the perspective of the chive appview, it might not make much difference (true?), but papers having their own Bluesky accounts would mean they would be first class citizens in the broader Bluesky ecosystem. Posts from paper accounts about, e.g., new versions, follow-up studies, news coverage, retractions, etc., would show up in followers' Bluesky feeds, enabling richer engagement with research. Papers, which usually have many authors, would also not be so closely linked with a single author. This would complement the more traditional structure that chive seems to embody (e.g., peer reviews).

Thoughts?
