While this is a German court’s ruling, I imagine this adds fuel to the US debate on section 230

absurd saves from Rangel with the replays

Rooting for South Korea but my god that was was an incredible double save from Mexico.

Announcing co/core: a social computing experiment from the Graze team

A few PDSes I haven't seen in awhile broke into the top ten in raw # of active repos (June 2026) 👀 Looking at repos on pds.ls suggests a fair amount of bsky spam. Are there any lists of 'spammy' PDSes (or do devs just roll their own)? I know @mackuba.eu tags some PDSes w/ high bot activity.

Very cool, helping people find people!

I'd want the opposite of "mute thread" on @bsky.app as a feature: "subscribe to thread" à la slacks "get reply notifications". Really useful when someone asks a good question and I'm interested in seeing the answers.

So I've been digging into bluesky retention data to see what is preventing growth of the ecosystem. Using likes/posts/follows you can see who is active or dormant on ATProto. The headline is that only 5% of users are retained at 28d and 10% of current users churn. That's not pretty

Tezos has shot up the past couple of weeks with a ton of active repos 👀 presumably for this work tz2at.xyz

Great to see pre-registered studies testing the effect of algorithms on perception!

an interesting counterpart to the X transformer-centered pipeline setup — just make the whole pipeline one big PyTorch model @spacecowboy17.bsky.social @patrickboueri.com engineering.fb.com/2026/05/26/m...

What is Standard.site? Think of it as a file format for publishing longer posts from blogs, news sites…wherever. If you’re using Leaflet, pckt.blog, or Offprint, you’re already using Standard.site! https://standard.site/

a bird in tree is worth two in the bush

Made some updates to my PDS centralization dashboard atproto.barn.city following great feedback. Three things I'm hoping to show with this (to start): 1) Functional centralization 2) Where are repos being made? 3) Where are repos migrating to? 1/3

The X For You algorithm has been published: github.com/xai-org/x-al... Now we have the answer to how true this statement was: "Grok will literally read every post and watch every video" This was just marketing. There is no Grok reading any posts. 🧵

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

Great resource — I was starting to build a follower graph from scratch and this makes that so much easier!

It’s D-day in sunny LA #trains

Keep it private! We’re adding more ways to connect with other Atmosphere apps. You can now launch Germ’s E2E encrypted messaging from Bluesky profiles. Check out @germnetwork.com for more.

Okay, it’s here! pdscheck.dev is LIVE!!! Thanks to @bad-example.com and @pds.dad for all their work on debug.hose.cam, and thanks to Claude for doing most of the heavy lifting. License is CC0 with an MIT fallback, and source is at tangled.org/chaosgreml.in/pdscheck, PRs OH SO WELCOME!

The prevalence of acadamese in scientific writing is partly why writing overall in science has been devalued. The average scientific paper is boring to read and has a boilerplate style, a void into which LLMs jump

“A structural change in research contribution and assessment is necessary to unshackle research communication from long-form narrative publication.”

TL;DR on AI-assisted or agentic coding: Some things change; some things stay the same. The same: - Code sent for review needs to be *reviewable* - Trust but verify, all the way through your SDLC - Getting far "off main" accrues technical debt - Risk tolerance informs where and how you experiment

Next @atproto.la meetup is coming up on May 9th!

recently I’ve been more intentionally courteous to other drivers on the road (like letting people merge when it’s bumper-to-bumper and thanking those who let me merge), and I feel like my average road-stress levels have plummeted Maybe it’s spurious but would recommend

🧵 The web is disappearing 🕳️ From Pew: 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are ☠️ A new study in VANISHING CULTURE gives hope: 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine. 56% are preserved before they disappear. 📚 Read VANISHING CULTURE free from Internet Archive: archive.org/details/vani... ⬇️

Looks very interesting from a quick read of the first few pages, bookmarked to finish. Not an entirely new concept, but worth reminding the field (and those outside the field) where we really are.

IMO a pretty glaring false positive, this should be escalated to a human reviewer

Feeds should be portable. It would also allow the feed creator to delete or deactivate their account without taking a feed down.

claude code is slowly becoming more and more unusable imo inside of serious code bases. not because its "broken" but because its deteriorating from where it was at even just 1 month ago, let alone 3. model iterations are (supposedly) much better but i am seeing less effectiveness with each model.

Yes, it's true! @brittanyellich.com crushed it in shipping a v0.1 version of a new community hub at atmosphere.community Features: @standard.site aggregation powered by @opensocial.community, group calendar, regional communities etc etc etc

tvguide channel but for the atmosphere

the Edit Button Now! Elite Digital Force has claimed responsibility for the ongoing disruption of bluesky and will continue until their demands are met

Today we’re releasing Portal - a new interface for your account and what we hope will become a new home for your on the web. This is is just the start, we’ll be adding features and integrations over the coming months. Check it out and let us know what you think. portal.eurosky.tech

very big news and a strong positive case for both watershed restoration projects and for tribal leadership in such projects we'll hopefully seeing more projects like this as more older dams reach the end of their lifespan and are removed

I have really enjoyed talking with Kenny about his work on alternative rec system mechanisms. This work offers a vision of user-powered concept exploration: imagine the social media feed equivalent of the joy of exploring wikipedia by navigating trails of hyperlinks from one article to the next.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

The @jlake9.bsky.social ML twitter aggregation bot is probably the last thing I needed to restore full twitter funuctionality. Props @juand-r.bsky.social it's really good!

Can’t see how well the network is doing if we don’t measure it! Very cool project

moon mission got me feeling some such way

It's crazy and terrible to eliminate SBE, and especially the idea NSF would do it in violation of Congressional direction. Even if you only cared about AI, it's important. SBE's support of opinion data has crucially helped AI alignment research; for example, data from GSS for LLM eval & modeling.

The trillion dollar question: “How will Bluesky make money?”

Looks like the Fediverse has a similar problem with the approach to AI as here… also a good analysis of how the social mechanics of Fedi works as a whole. "When those signals need to do the work of governance, they default to hostility, because nothing else operates at that layer."

Anthropic should give you one chance to convince Mythos Preview that you can be trusted

Another ATproto alternative just dropped. 🦋 Check out @sifa.id - a decentralized alternative to LinkedIn and Xing for professional networking. Built on the AT Protocol, it's time to take control of your professional identity. 💼

Our results show that conversational agents can covertly redirect consumer choices at scale, most users cannot tell when it is happening, and existing transparency mechanisms are insufficient. We call for further regulatory scrutiny and structural safeguards.

Great essay trying to make sense of the divergence between first order network metrics like density and the sense that a community is “failing”. A user’s perception of their network (and their role in it) is so important, making who you get exposed to just as key as what you get exposed to

this is honestly THE best write up of how CSAM detection and perceptual handing works. the visual aids are very helpful in understanding how content is transformed and how detection methods work mahmoud-salem.net/the-invisibl...
