perhaps i’m out of touch, but i do not think “ownership” of one’s social media data is a compelling value proposition for the overwhelming majority of people

at the end of the day, atproto is a new world wide web of headless websites. do what you want with it.

Could this happen before next Wednesday, I'm flying to Vancouver for #atmosphereconf and don't really feel like leaving Europe right now.

Big news! Igalia (@igalia.com) is partnering with @eurosky.social to develop the next generation of the open social web. Let's stop waiting for others to fix our problems and start fixing them ourselves. We can just do things. More: www.eurosky.tech/s/Eurosky-Ig...

I am very excited to announce our partnership @eurosky.social with @igalia.com! The partnership will accelerate the development of independent, European-operated infrastructure for the open social web, enabling developers, organizations, & communities to build new applications. cc @xanlopez.xyz

We're very honored to have @row1.ca & @matsulab.com as keynote speakers at #ATScience! Rowan & Matt will share their vision "Towards Modular Open Science" on moving beyond isolated papers toward a world of modular & interoperable research objects, leveraging #atproto as a decentralized backbone 🧪✨

Configuring one more obsidian plugin will fix me.

Can we have a custom feed which we can use for EuroSky Follow Friday? Hear me out. It should show you posts - from people you follow - with a #euroskyff hashtag (or something) - and mentioning somebody you don't follow who is on the @eurosky.social PDS

opus is 1M by default now, if you see it compacting I'm worried for you

As I was asking a few days ago*, who's job is this? A: no-one's

Does anyone have a project tracking icons/logos for AT Protocol apps?

Hey @moja.blue, I wanted you to know that your post last December (plurality.leaflet.pub/3maxxx7afw22z) found its way into my @atproto.science workshop in Vancouver later this month. Would love you to join in so I can pass you the mike! atscience.leaflet.pub/3mfz526irfs2...

at this point being unverified is cooler

They really think it's a game they're winning. What happens when it ends, I wonder? Do they?

Sigh. I live in the wrong city. If only I was political.

Leaflet Pro is open to all! Thank you to our early testers :) Next 24 hrs only — $10/m or $100/y with code 'LEAFPROLAUNCH' 🍃🎉💯 Sign up from user menu or pub 'analytics' tab. Big step toward making Leaflet sustainable & lots planned, incl email & memberships. Excited to hear what you think!

Well that's typical. While I was exploring the theory of event co-creation on the Atmosphere, @bmann.ca, @essentialrandom.bsky.social & co were actually building something, and better: the community can not only contribute to event website content, but the event website itself...

Only in countries that have museums.

Really looking forward to the @atproto.science keynote from Rowan of @curvenote.com and Matt of @matsulab.com on what atproto offers Open Science. Hopefully they'll stick around for the rest of the day... atscience.leaflet.pub/3mfz526irfs2...

these are so lovely. i would love one of zorro for my office

Hi! SkyFeed is struggling and I need to find a solution. If you don't know SkyFeed, it's a service I built 2 years ago, enabling anyone to build and publish feeds using a visual block-based editor. SkyFeed is still hosting the most feeds on Bluesky, but that comes at a cost [1/X]

maybe we should start convincing the right that war makes you gay. penetrating another man with cylindrical objects? blasting your load all over them? the mass D/S dynamic of so eagerly submitting to your alpha? sus

Good to see more conversation on learning & research orgs in the atmosphere, should be a fun session! Lots of potential around things like: ~interop between apps ~shared social contexts & group primitives ~publishing & living documents ~collaborative events ~websites as community scaffolding

commissions are open – poetry, short stories, and SvelteKit websites. if any of that sounds useful, the link is below. #Commissions #WebDev #Poetry #CreativeWriting #Ko-fi

"Your research institute on the Atmosphere", my @atproto.science workshop late Friday pm, before #ATmosphereConf in Vancouver, is open for speakers. Would you like to get involved? 🧵 atscience.leaflet.pub/3mfz526irfs2...

At 2pm Paris time today I'll be testifying in the French Parliament about digital sovereignty. Watch it live at videos.assemblee-nationale.fr/direct.php!

I wrote up a piece on how standards are made, because of some folks being very negative about the grant on other social networks: writings.thisismissem.social/how-standard...

I think the one legit use case is "I need to produce some plausible sounding nonsense to satisfy some set of bureaucratic requirements" // it is a bullshit machine but if what you need is to write some bullshit then a bullshit machine can really speed that up

"Depuis que mes données sont hébergées sur un serveur européen, je passe de meilleurs nuits" @eurosky.social

It gets meatier, but every time it gets meatier it gets meatier

Oh I hate it when that happens

Just over 5K users now on @eurosky.social! 🙌 Anyone can join. You get exact same features as Bluesky, login the same way, etc. And see all the same posts. So why move to Eurosky? It’s run by a European non-profit, on European servers & bound by European laws (eg GDPR). www.eurosky.tech/register

Just one quote from one of the most important things I've read in ages. I absolutely LOVE this work, and will integrate it into my evolving ideas about ATmosphere communities* this weekend (hopefully). Can't wait for Part 4! Read & Subcribe: 👇 baldemoto.leaflet.pub/3mg6rjnlfws2...

"BlueSky is an American thing. What about W?" I've heard this more than once in Brussels, perfectly illustrating the complete lack of communication strategy of the entire Atmosphere: we spend all our energy talking to each other. I get it: The joy in our community is real, every day there's ...

An academic research infrastructure stack is forming on ATProto. Researcher identity, decentralized eprints, scientific publishing, linguistic annotation standards, knowledge discovery, AI hypothesis generation — separate layers, one protocol. bsky.app/profile/renderg.host/post/3mgeydvqyns26 #$ATOPR

This sounds amazing.

And my 1000th follower was @ricci.io!

Face reveal at 1000!

Love this. Super important to make custom feeds as simple to use as possible.

Good morning, spring.

part of our theory of change for enabling new forms of collective intelligence at @cosmik.network: creating positive feedback loops to elicit the "beneath the iceberg" sense-making signals, like what articles you've been reading/enjoying

We are excited for the upcoming #ATmosphereConf and now the @atproto.science talks are up to get specifically excited about.

I've always wanted to understand "the Mastodon API problem". In a nutshell: "The fediverse built its federation layer on an open standard, but left the client layer to be captured by its dominant provider. The more tools and integrations that get built on top ... the deeper the lock-in becomes."

1000 more users within the last 24h 🚀

99/100 registrations for #ATScience!! Who will be the lucky 100th? 🤩 Reply here - beers on us at the event 🍻

So the @ec.europa.eu has accepted the validity of a European Citizens Initiative entitled "European social media platform". 🧵of interest perhaps to @eurosky.social , @sebastian.eurosky.social and all our friends currently *building* European social media platforms...

Today's office. God help me.

"Bluesky will never decentralize" Yes, you're right, that's what the Atmosphere is for. You're welcome to help expand it so your worst fears aren't confirmed due to inaction.

The blue tick vanishes if you change your handle, which is the case if it changes from .bsky.social to .eurosky.social. But this is not needed if your handle is personnalized, based on a domain name you own. I carried my blue tick with me through the migration.
