I’d like to challenge Zuck to an MMA bout.

It’s happening…

What would it look like to move on from Meta? Comedian Maddy Kelly explains that leaving Instagram won’t be easy, but just like when younger people left Facebook, it IS possible. (hint: read the comments for real-life examples of people who made the switch!) youtube.com/shorts/jzvuC...

👋 Hello, Bluesky! We're ATProtoFans, a new way to support creators you love. How it works: you make a one-time payment, and both you and the creator get a permanent, verifiable record stored in your ATProtocol accounts. atprotofans.com

#atproto devs: if you're interested in making or playing around with spark feeds, dm me for access to spark. i'd also love feedback on the template.

A lottt of work behind the scenes on this. More to come…

Great post from @joebasser.com on how atproto can fix broken models of social media (lock-in; user-hostile incentive structures) with greater, choice, ownership, interoperability… An ecosystem sustained by both *niches + networks* might be a good way to summarize what we're building here!

There are so many great ATProto articles out there, but I wanted to write one that strips things back for the non-tech crowd. This one’s for my friends back home, my mum, and anyone else who just wants to know why I’m building on this weird, wonderful protocol.

Something very wrong here…

So great meeting more of the NYC ATProto community tonight. Thank you @schlage.town for organising!

Any simple ATProto voting/poll apps?

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

hey NYC atproto folks! @schlage.town has organized the next meetup on Oct 29: smokesignal.events/did:plc:jjsc...

Can’t wait to breathe that clean Vancouver ATmosphere

i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks

Want to remark on a sentiment I've heard from the AT dev community ‒ in specific words, even, from @bmann.ca, @knowtheory.net, and @rude1.blacksky.team, which I'll likely botch here: Lead with joy, not fear. I think that belief shows up a lot, and it's really affected me for the better!

Anything helps! Contributions go directly towards development on @slices.network open source projects and community resources. #atproto

This site goes so unbelievably hard. Who’s designing it? @rude1.blacksky.team

Came out of eye surgery this morning and just have to be browsing bluesky with one eye. Sooooo much positivity. The energy is palpable. ‘Eye’ love it. Aha ha ha

It would be wild if someone would build a social site where you could migrate away without losing all your connections if you didn't like the owner. Maybe even host your account on your own box, at home, so you could switch apps seamlessly or build your own. I think that would improve society.

Open open open

Excited to open source @slices.network today! This is alpha software and the hosted instance is managed via a waitlist so bear with me! Looking to start onboarding folks and testing more broadly. Come join the discord discord.gg/NqSd3eW8S8! tangled-search.bigmoves.deno.net/share-repo/a...

spark is fully ingesting to its own AppView for bluesky follows, feed generators and blocks. we hope to be fully off the bluesky API soon, our last step is ingesting bluesky posts and then the hardest one will be bluesky likes.
