threads like this highlight the best part of social media — how it can lead to opportunities and relationships that change your life what if more platforms optimized for relationships over engagement?

Realized too late in the day that it’s the mid-autumn festival, so this is the best mooncake I could get. 🍂🥮

if @bsky.app introduced a "Zen Mode" — what do you think it would be? what problem would you want it to solve?

tree-hugging is usually said as a pejorative but some of you should try it some time

Every once in a while you get a crème brûlée so good it puts all previous incarnations to shame. I would post a picture but… it’s gone.

Friend gave me a John O’Donohue book recently. It’s quite good. “To Come Home To Yourself”

Need to find a reason to use this bag

i wrote down the process of resolving an at:// URI step by step. turns out, it's a great way to learn how the AT protocol works!

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

there's some more to do here in the repo to get it where i want, but will probably write a leaflet soon on making moderation work for people that are not Bluesky PBC. hoping that this will be a good step in that direction.

I love being in the woods and not having to know how the housing market is doing. “Have you seen these interest rates lately?” No, I’m in the woods

For years I would try to convince people to build a platform where researchers or people could try out alternate rec systems. rec systems that might make you more knowledgeable rather than less or happier instead of miserable. Then bluesky just built it!

Why does Bluesky exist? So that "you can just do things" underreacted.leaflet.pub/3m23gqakbqs2j

Digital sovereignty must be a key focus for all free societies in the next decade if democracy is going to survive this moment.

You don’t need to become an expert on AT Protocol, you don’t need to learn to code, but I really do want to impress upon people that “federated social media” is a vitally important concept in a time of global authoritarian and technofeudalist consolidation.

Tomorrow is #bandcampfriday! I wanna hear your recs! I want to see them fill this feed I created! bsky.app/profile/did:... TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD CHECK OUT

Too real. We’re going to try to fix this. Social media doesn’t have to be this way.

i just made my first atproto app with the @slices.network alpha. it shows the list of last played tracks from @teal.fm across the atmosphere. i needed to write 25 lines of code for this to work.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is pretty good. Never touch ChatGPT anymore. I also appreciate that Claude assumes you’re literate and doesn’t italicize and bullet point everything.

Found a good post on leaflet about moss. “They’re like tiny forests” betweencollapseandbloom.leaflet.pub/3lyilstxjgc2n

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

very excited to share this update about bringing AT to the IETF! last week we uploaded two drafts to the IETF datatracker and today we heard that we’re approved to host a Birds of a Feather at IETF 124 (the formal meeting towards establishing a working group)

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links 2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands 3. The whole app is open source This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site. We 💙 the open web.

What makes Bluesky different: it’s open source, so anyone can contribute to building the experience they want. And even if you build a whole new app, the protocol means you can migrate with your data, identity, and relationships intact.

Violence only begets violence. Enduring change comes from building solutions, transforming minds, and cultivating what is good, in the human heart and in the world.
