@pj out of curiosity have y'all thought about bridging Forkiverse across to ATProto/Bluesky by following @bsky.brid.gy ?

Great overview by Bluesky CTO @pfrazee.com of the @graze.social custom feed for the NYC election - including the “making of” settings of how it works.

Some distributed social nerds centralizing for #npasummit (that's @ben#npasummit& me)

The thing I had most hoped would happen on the feature-design side is that fediverse systems and ATProto systems would learn from each other and I think this is a good example of that actually taking place.

I am VERY much open to feedback on this project. It is in very early days and I'm sure there are a million great features that could be added. The project's Github is the best place to file feature requests: https://github.com/berkmancenter/activitypub-fuzzer/

Extremely pleased to announce the release of the ActivityPub Fuzzer! This is a tool that runs in a local development environment and (partially) emulates known ActivityPub software. It can even create a fake local "public fire hose" shaped like what you might see if you hooked your […]

With less than a week to go, let's see which platforms are responding to the Annual Fediverse Survey To help make the graph readable, Mastodon, with 59 entries, is not included in the visual. Any platforms with only one response have been excluded (13 […] [Original post on mastodon.iftas.org]

This statement is great. The broader effort we all want is an open and pluralistic internet where users have agency & choices, developers have a rich and fertile ecosystem to build in, and new and better communities and infrastructure are possible. Nobody wins when we fight for protocol […]

Just remembering that Mekka had the best take on the potential for how power _could_ be devolved in the fediverse. Doesn't feel like that's how it's worked out in practice to my regret. https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/109513104880906220

ahaha, amazing. I participated in an incredibly long (and great!) thread here and because the author of the root post doesn't follow @bsky.brid.gy none of my replies get shared over to ATproto https://wandering.shop/@phildini/115087173453216360

It sucks that the founder of an open social media platform is out here asking uninformed questions about another open platform's architecture instead of having actually done the work to understand it before popping off.

Whoops, pressed save before I edited the working title. Anyway, new blog post: https://jaz.co.uk/2025/07/01/digital-equity/

We just shared our monthly engineering update from May - some big under-the-covers updates as we got ready to ship the first beta of Mastodon 4.4. Plus, a selection of links to cool projects from our community members. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/06/trunk-tidbits-may-2025/

It should be said, and doing this in their free fucking time as a volunteer effort too. > And we ordinary people are all out here in the feeds trying to piece it together in our heads. https://mas.to/@kissane/114558323930891999

I don't think it's possible to be where we are in #uspol (and in the global authoritarian slide) without our information ecosystems being such a mess. There's a ton of work to do on the distribution side of the problem, but also on the info-making side: Even great newsrooms aren't built to make […]

@shollyethan has a great list of self-hosted alternatives that I'm going through. https://selfh.st/alternatives/read-later/ Happy to hear where others are migrating! (Self-hosted or not!)

In 15 minutes at 10am PT, @danhon and I will be streaming Han to Hon Combat live, our completely amateur podcast about all things ATProto: * on ATProto at https://stream.place/@knowtheory * on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/knowtheory

New at wreckage/salvage: Vernacular institutions, part one. New project. Old projects. Lots of projects. Bruegel? Bruegel. The struggle with email this month has been so absurd and I hope this makes it to your inboxes if you've signed up. https://www.wrecka.ge/the-work-at-hand/

Sorry that should be HOOOOONK #ahoy25

The fact that @bsky.brid.gy surfaces tags between Bluesky and Mastodon is heckin’ great. Hooray for cross protocol discovery!

@icyphox.sh taking about @tangled.sh and building on two protocols. ATProto and an app view for social interaction. Git for code. #ahoy25

There is definitely a thing to consider/discuss about how many ATProto builders used to be ActivityPub builders. (or in some cases still are)

@laurenshof kicking off #ahoyeu with a conversation about Fediverse and ATmosphere. Talking about how we're collectively thinking about communities, moderation and how we shape these ecosystems.

I just really confused a Bewick's Wren by accidentally playing its call back to it as I was looking up what species it was in Birdnet
