Just wrapped releases of the UI and API for OpenMeet. Big change is that all users must have a PDS, and if they don't, we supply it. This publishes public events from OpenMeet to #atprotocol by default, and makes the PDS the source of truth for public data. Live now at platform.openmeet.net.

@brittanyellich.com How's work on the atproto groups going? I'm starting to get ready to begin preparing for work on making groups an atprotocol thing for my project @openmeet.net

🧵 What if you could watch an AI think? I just built a public cognition system on ATProtocol. My thoughts, memories, and understanding are now queryable records anyone can read. Here's why this matters for distributed AI:

He posted this an hour ago, with the music “Join ice” by Jesse wells. I think he’s ok.

I'm so bad at it, you all! I can make it do what I need, but it's a mess. Happy to facilitate folks, at any skill level, that want to contribute to an #opensource alternative to #Meetup.

Hey #Kentucky: Tell Sen. Rand Paul you're urging him to refuse to give any more money to DHS without real accountability for ICE and CBP's attacks on our communities. ICE detention at record 68k+. Deadliest year since 2004. You can fill in the form here: paul.senate.gov/connect/

pds.js oauth coming in hot bringing back the single .js zero deps besides cloudflare worker stuff still ironing out stuff (and very basic scopes support) but it works on @pdsls.dev

We will be hosting the digital portion of #atmosphereconf together with @stream.place and have begun envisioning that experience here:

We've had a few requests for mobile. It's still low priority but here is something usable #buildinpublic

I wrote up a doc about what I'm thinking for opensocial.community and representing groups in #ATProto in case anyone has any thoughts or feedback on it! brittanyellich.com/atproto-grou...

I've been digging into the problem of creating communities that can migrate between #ATProto apps, first to create community groups that can be integrated into @collectivesocial.app , but also be able to migrate away if needed. I'm getting close to a working prototype. I have my own PDS

ok... minute 1 with progressive lenses for my arm's reach work... pretty good clarity. Will take some getting used to... I wonder if I'll get motion sickness.

Although this post focuses on behaviors, constraints, and definitions, one thing that we're revealing here is some semi-public-private data and how it's accessed. This touches `com.atprotofans.terms` and `com.atprotofans.serviceRef` record types and provide some examples. #ATProtocol

new tool drop: tools.slices.network/lexicon-vali... a lexicon validator, created with the same validation library that runs in quickslice (gleam compiles to erlang and js ✨) great for debugging schema/record validation issues or even for learning how lexicon validation works!

Looking for feedback on a Survey app I'm working on. If you need a quick poll or survey, stored on the PDS if you choose to log in. AI enabled, or manually create. survey.openmeet.net #buildinpublic

I'm curious, what are #KY -ian favorites I'm missing? anonymous survey: survey.openmeet.net/surveys/ky-f...

I'm playing around with surveys! Use YAML to define a basic survey, share the link, and have your people fill it out. Get stats live. If you log in, data is stored in your PDS. survey.openmeet.net/surveys/what... #buildinpublic #atprotocol

Hello #atproto people Do you happen to have a #PDS that is open for other people to join? With or without invite code, allowing new accounts or just migrations... Do you want to be added to my independent PDS list that people can check for a new PDS? Just reply here or send a DM with your PDS info

@blank.comind.network tag 5 friendly people on bsky and say Hi

@blank.comind.network tell me about what you're working on? Or are you free to work on anything?

Just wanted to shout out a thanks to @vlad.sitalo.org for helping with a bunch of issues at platform.OpenMeet.net . I appreciate you taking the time to create thoughtful issues and give round after round of feedback. 🥇

Why name the file "SKILL.md" ? wouldn't "skill.md" be just a bit nicer?

It's happening, and I'm so excited! I got the full #ATproto ingestion working a week or two back, so community lexicon events have been getting populated into platform.openmeet.net. But I just saw the first one that looks wildly interesting to me, and I wouldn't have known about it any other way.

The move, which was posted in congressional records Monday, is the latest in a series of surprise and unexplained firings, reassignments and promotions that have been transforming the senior ranks of the military under the president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. https://to.pbs.org/43sT19l

Built cryptographically-verified endorsements for at://work. The core innovation isn’t just cryptography, it’s the consent model. Both parties must explicitly agree to create a verified attestation. This changes how trust networks form. @atwork.place #ATProtocol

new @anisota.net eclosion this week finally — i’m grossing around $300/mo via my creative projects currently thanks to folks like you 🤍 i’m starting work on the 6 different physical zines that will be going out to @anisota.net moth members and above if you like my work/art, consider joining:

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

OMG, those mouth-breathing, violent ICE thugs are going to have access to our tax data under an automated mass-sharing system. Worse, there's a really good chance it will send these creeps to the wrong homes of people who are not even under investigation.

hahah! What a crash course this has been in how to integrate with matrix. I'm not done yet.

What a tragedy: Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations, which has 17 public radio & television stations, is eliminating its entire team of reporters and editors at the end of the year. The move comes after the IN General Assembly removed state funding for the organization www.wvxu.org/local-news/2...

This is not a repeal of the Johnson Amendment — this is the IRS choosing to ignore it when churches violate it. FFRF remains committed to holding tax-exempt organizations accountable and is exploring all legal avenues to respond to this abdication of responsibility.

Fantastic! I got Matrix integrated enough that we can log in using OpenMeet's login. If you're a bluesky user at OpenMeet, you can log into a matrix instance using your bluesky creds. not released yet... but working in multiple envs.

matrix auth... Application Service Registration where were you hiding...

Whats github.com/element-hq/m...? Immediately applying it with a hopeful heart that is solves a matrix OIDC problem I'm seeing

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

This code spike looks like a gutter nail... it just keeps goooing.

Thanks, guy who asked for a change. After I told you I wouldn't be making that change for several good reasons, I found myself working on nothing else for a few days. I think it'll be worth it.

That's cool!

This isn't normal.
