@flashes.blue saw over 100k download in its first week after release. This month we‘ll introduce Stories, which will be moderated through the Commons Content Moderation framework we‘re releasing with @eurosky.social on Nov 19th. Eurosky will provide ATProto infra outside of the US.

I am so looking forward to @eurosky.social and I wrote down why I care about this ecosystem, both as an artist and as a coder. Including shoutout to @flashes.blue and @seabass.bsky.social #WeCanJustDoThings

OpenAI's browser doesn't even show us the web, just a simulcrum of it. Thanks @anildash.com www.anildash.com/2025/10/22/a...

I did not enjoy writing this; it can't even serve as an ad for my newsletter, which I've suspended due to an overbilling situation that has me almost regretting leaving Substack. But, you know, it's evidence for the piece I just didn't get to include. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/patro...

'Robin, you're speaking'. @robin.berjon.com had no choice. But you do, join us at #EuroskyLive in Berlin on 19 November. To register in person: www.eurosky.social/eurosky-live Streaming: smokesignal.events/did:plc:ooen...

The Wayback Machine’s snapshots of news outlets’ homepages have plummeted in recent months — Nieman Lab reporters @andrewdeck.bsky.social and @hanaatameez.bsky.social found they declined by 87% starting in May of this year. They decided to find out why. buff.ly/rhtRGcr

Our European-focused work, under the brand of @eurosky.social is taking off. Our first in-person event happens in Berlin on November 19, to discuss and share opportunities for European open social #atrproto infrastructure operated in Europe. We're announcing our speakers here!

Sharing a short writeup from a 2025 Cypherpunk Retreat, featuring our #eurosky project and the work of our friends at @germnetwork.com, among others: www.protocol.ai/blog/threads...

Very pleased to see this #Indiesky project put #freeourfeeds funds to good use, supporting Northsky in their community building efforts. Congratulations @transrights.northsky.social and @knowtheory.net @bmann.ca

Amazing news. Alaa pardoned after, this time, six years in prison and a lifetime fighting for freedoms in Egypt. What an inspiration. This would be a good time to grab his book, "You have not yet been defeated": what it takes to fight oppression. #freealaa fitzcarraldoeditions.com/books/you-ha...

excited to share that we are following through on our earlier commitments and putting together an independent+neutral organization to house the DID PLC system, includes the directory service

If anyone wants more done with private data - give to Blacksky. If anyone wants more solid migration systems - give to Blacksky. But also: Rudy can’t be our only wall. Doing the hard work of setting up an entity (not just a friends PDS) is what we’re going to need.

Hello everyone! Announcing Eurosky Live: Berlin 2025. Join founders, developers, media, policy-makers, and investors for a full-day public programe exploring the European open social web. If you're building on ATProto and interested in showcasing, please reach out! To register: luma.com/knk1342n

Hey, I'm with the Eurosky folks. We would like to hear your experience of building for ATProto, what you like, and what your pain points are. Especially interested in understanding the frictions in creating new ATProto experiences, but equally happy to hear from experienced devs and anyone else.

Ahead of tomorrow's hearing on European "censorship" of Americans under the Digital Services Act, I have a new blog post explaining why that is not a thing. You can get the gist in about two minutes of skimming the bold text, or stay for the details. 1/ cyberlaw.stanford.edu/a-primer-on-...

What if the internet as you know it is already gone? Concise summary of our state of affairs, and an argument for a shift structure and public investment, by @mallory.techpolicy.social.ap.brid.gy and Burcu Kilic: internet.exchangepoint.tech/big-tech-red...

@graze.social breakdown of returns for campaigns on Bluesky: "dollars went three times further on Bluesky than they would on any other social platform." Their words, for your consideration: www.graze.social/blog/how-gra...

Nice write-up about #protocolsforpublishers, a great event in NYC last week I had the pleasure of helping with, with thanks to @knowtheory.net @bmann.ca @chadkoh.com @ruperts.world and many brilliant participants: www.niemanlab.org/2025/08/the-...

Today, we're launching the first Beta of Bounce, a tool that lets you migrate your social graph across protocols! We got such a positive response from our announcement, and we're so excited for folks to try it out. Here's what you need to know when you Bounce: blog.anew.social/bounce-beta-...

The last few days of #ATProto_NYC have been good but this hack day is downright life affirming, I love this fucking community man

🔐 Building ATProtocol apps? Then you know identity and authentication is the first real barrier to entry - and it's a pretty high bar. The OAuth spec is a beast, and ATProtocol adds a lot of complexity too. That's why I'm running a masterclass this fall. 🧵 More details →

Open social "platforms are fundamentally different, in principle and design, from American behemoths like Instagram and X. They restore control to users, reduce gatekeeping, and encourage innovation" says @seabass.bsky.social in a new essay: www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/e...

TONIGHT! Join us at Newspeak House for the July edition of ATProto London! We'll be having a quick show-and-tell then later a talk by @oppi.li about @tangled.sh. There's still space if you want to attend! lu.ma/15mefous

Consequences of years of lousy and extractive US social media platforms. People want to leave; they just need somewhere better to go.
