👀 Interesting ethical open source license, found on semble.so through @rude1.blacksky.team

Inspired by @rude1.blacksky.team, I've made my own evergreen reading list — the titles I repeatedly return to and re-read — which are central to my thinking and practice. The service runs on #atproto, made by @cosmik.network 👌🏾 #CriticalAI semble.so/profile/uxmi...

put my reading list on @cosmik.network's semble.so

👀 semble.so on @zen-browser.app

1/ semble.so updates! We’re only two weeks in since the open alpha release and it’s been great! 🧵 notes.cosmik.network/3m664z5kkg22h

Compiled a @semble.so collection of Scholarly APIs that I've been assessing for @lanyards.app . Making them available to all #ATscience 🧪 #ATmosphere 🌀 #ATproto 🪿 builders. semble.so/profile/rend... Based on researchguides.smu.edu.sg/api-list by SMU Librarian @bellaratmelia.bsky.social ✨

Made a collection inspired by this, for @leaflet.pub x atproto community tinkering! Lots of cool integrations & interop & experiments — from other apps rendering leaflet posts to cross-posting and import tools and markdown pipelines, even leaflet as headless CMS for an *atprotated* website :)

“We propose that scholarly publishing needs to be re-communalized. Universities, libraries, funders ... need to build a system that is community-led and managed, and which works to further research... This should involve active support for federated open infrastructures” arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820

👁️👄👁️ shareable research collections you say? semble.so

We've got a mega write up of #ATProto_MTL Thanks to @cosmik.network and @graze.social for your direct financial support for travel & accomodation, and everyone else for coming and working through hard problems together.

Whoa! 🚀 Open social protocols are wonderful 🌱

ATmosphere Report 142 (in two parts) - this weeks #atproto and #bluesky news - atproto platform Gander raises 1.3M CAD in fundraiser to build Canadian platform interoperable with Bluesky - first step set for atproto becoming part of the IETF - Semble.so is a new knowledge sharing platform […]

Good comment article on science in the age of AI: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Appreciating the focus on the importance of training humans to meaningfully participate in research. "After all, the purpose of science is not just to produce more and more discoveries but to improve human life."

trying out heron app. another tool I found on semble

great new social bookmarking app for at proto: semble.so congrats @ronentk.me @wesleyfinck.org! excited for the coming collaborative features

#ATscience just took a huge leap forward.

Using Semble daily @cosmik.network ⚒️

Currently giving Semble a try, and it is another very promising app built on AT Proto!

@cosmik.network would be cool if I could share links to semble via android chrome developer.chrome.com/docs/capabil... I created a little proxy PWA in the meantime that posts stuff using a hard coded JWT in secrets

Semble alpha is ready! Give it a try and let us know what you think. Read more about setup and roadmap in the leaflet 🚀

Semble alpha is now open! ✨ Check it out at semble.so More details in our leaflet pub! (link in next post > )

Great time at the @atproto.boston meetup. Great to chat with you @ronentk.me and @wesleyfinck.org! Lots to think about and build! Looking forward to playing with semble.so! Thank you for organizing @tynanpurdy.com!

lots of exciting projects in Montreal this week weaving the ATProto ecosystem ✨ ( @germnetwork.com @stream.place @leaflet.pub @microcosm.blue @atprotocol.dev @smokesignal.events @cosmik.network @skylight.social )

Can we create this future please? "Collective Intelligence as a great scientific, technical, and political project that aims to 'make people smarter with computers, instead of trying to make computers smarter than people'" link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

@creativecommons.bsky.social and @continuous.foundation are teaming up to make reuse the default for modular science. Join the cohort working to shape incentives for reuse in modular science. The group will kick off in January 2026. Apply by Sunday, Nov 30 continuousfoundation.org/reuse-form

Great read on "science enshittification" and the better futures possible with new open social networks like bsky! Also 🎯 re pivotal role of institutions - "real change depends on institutions investing in tech that puts community before shareholders." www.eff.org/deeplinks/20... h/t @bmann.ca

If you're in NYC today and feeling spontaneous - come collective sensemake with us at this rad unconference organized by @exgenesis.ingroup.social ! I'll be there to talk about @cosmik.network and Semble. luma.com/8tyya5lg

So cool to be able to let users signal their data preferences, and in a protocolized way so that all ATProto apps can reuse it. It’s a great fit for us with semble.so and we’re planning to incorporate it there!

1/ quick notes from a great meeting yesterday with a Boston area researcher, interested in cutting edge research tools like Discourse Graphs, @cosmik.network and science social media. The research questions they are looking at are too complex and interdisciplinary to be tackled by any single lab >

cosmik.network/semble A social knowledge tool for researchers built on ATProto ⭐️ 7

Open source attention locked open and user controlled with ATProto on semble.so 🔐

Replace coding with research and Karpathy's critique is also good for AI for science. We want to become better researchers, not just get served “research”.. And if AI for science isn't done well we might end up with "mountains of slop"

The @cosmik.network is just getting started, including convening ATProto x Science in the forum discourse.atprotocol.community/t/intros-and... Cosmik has stepped up to sponsor, as well as flesh out a side event focused on science comms & sense making on ATProto ahead of the main conf.

Jazzed for the conference and the ATProto x science side event we're co-organizing with @tgoerke.bsky.social 🚀 Save the date! 📆 Also - ideas for cool speakers or projects in the ATProto science space are most welcome! Feel free to share here/DM/email

Meanwhile on the Fediverse - exciting demo of Bonfire for Open Science! Enables creating highly configurable community spaces & also includes ORCID login + post to DOI conversion with Zenodo An ATProto integration for this would be 🔥 indieweb.social/@bonfire/115...

semantic web: "Anyone can say anything about anything" protocol-powered collective sense-making: "Anyone can contextualize anything from anywhere"

Some thoughts about our approach to integrations in semble. Curious to know how others are thinking about integrations across the ATmosphere!

1/ 📢 New blog post! @pracheeac.bsky.social recently wrote a great piece about the need for paradigm shifts in science communication: “Stop building faster horses when we need fundamentally different vehicles.” 🧵https://bsky.app/profile/pracheeac.bsky.social/post/3m2exwtn6o22i

Against Publishing: universonline.nl/nieuws/2025/... Preprints are read, shared, and cited, yet still dismissed as incomplete until blessed by a publisher. I argue that the true measure of scholarship lies in open exchange, not in the industry’s gatekeeping of what counts as published.

Yes! We're kinda building are.na on ATProto with Semble.so , would be epic to interoperate with them if they ported over to here

V interesting twist on MCP! “user data is often fragmented across services and locked into specific providers, reinforcing user lock-in” - enter Human Context Protocol (HCP): “user-owned repositories of preferences designed for active, reflective control and consent-based sharing.” 1/

Very excited to participate in the Ownership Economy Summit today in NYC! Learning the ropes for how to create new data economies and community stewarded protocols + platforms for researchers @cosmik.network

If you’re interested in ATProto for science communications, join the forum & introduce yourself.

ATProto has huge potential for supporting new ways of doing science, but to get there we need discussion & coordination spaces - we opened a new Discourse space for ATProto x Science at discourse.atprotocol.community/c/atproto-sc... 🧪 (w/ @bmann.ca @tgoerke.bsky.social ) Please join! 😄

👀 dl.acm.org/doi/full/10....

I have a whole folder of ATProto apps on iOS (plus a select few directly on my Home Screen). Today we call them “ATproto” apps. In the future … they’re just a better way to build a wide range of apps, where users own their data, login in anywhere, and choose different interfaces.

4/ At @cosmik.network We’re inspired by Are.na, hypertext and more intentional meaning-making processes as well, we’re designing semble.so around them! As we wrote in our recent blog post - tools like Are.na are fundamentally different ways of eliciting knowledge that feeds do not support.

1/ Exciting paper by @sh1m.bsky.social & Sophia Liu 🔥 “hypertext systems emphasize provenance, associative thinking, and user-driven meaning-making, while algorithmic systems tend to obscure process and flatten participation” arxiv.org/abs/2507.235...

Had a great time today IRL brainstorming with @nickmvincent.bsky.social around collective bargaining x researcher-owned data x semble.so @cosmik.network @pouriade.com @wesleyfinck.org
