If you know how to mass create accounts via Tor, set up fraudulent domain names, use burner emails, and orchestrate account migrations — you’d be better off just setting up a legitimate server for Palestinians; work with @techforpalestine.org or something. But a spam botnet is counter to that cause

We are 10 tickets away from being sold out #AtmosphereConf

Posting the non pumpkin version of my pfp since we’re all going be meeting irl this week

🥳

Does anyone know if Vancouver has those new scanners where you don’t have to pull your electronics out when scanning?

I'm going to "AtmosphereConf Afterparty @ Junction"! atmo.rsvp/p/atmosphere...

the new goat xrpc command is pretty slick

Almost every day someone writes in on how they can donate/support the site, so I set up a Ko-fi page. ko-fi.com/enclosehorse Completely optional/zero obligation.

sorry I can't check my alt atm I went ahead and packed my PDS in my bag for the trip

I am packed and ready to head to the airport at 3am on Wednesday morning 🫡

excited to announce our new platform for content moderation and community management at scale. this replaces ozone for us. built by @rishkebab.blacksky.team hand in hand with our T&S team.

motivation is low 🫠

if you are (or have ever been) a financial supporter of microcosm, can i send you a few questions? (last-minute research for my talk)

Every once in a while I think about how if I never learned about what atproto was I’d probably have 99 agility on my osrs Ironman and have finished at least another 30 audiobooks

I hope project hail mary stays in theaters till at least easter weekend or I need to try and find a showing wednesday night in Vancouver

It is a bit confusing that in atproto your account and identity are two different things. You may have multiple accounts, but only one identity. But you can only have one valid account at a time and that is decided by your did doc (identity).

How many raspberry pis are we supposed to bring next week?

I should’ve known Carhartt would have my big head cover in the hat department. Finally found one that fits

i’m sure i’m not the only person to think about this, but this came to me in a dream and i thought it would be fun ! it’s like a pokédex for people you meet at @atmosphereconf.org or really just people you meet anywhere that are on bluesky. check it out youandme.at

do people still send postcards

Sadly I won’t have any homemade merch for atmosphere conf. But I will provide one bad joke if someone asks

*me thinking about packing only shorts and light shirts for next week* *me finally checking the weather in Vancouver* Oh that’s not going to work

1,2,3 🎩🪄

Another angle because WOW 🤯

HELL YEAH

No place we'd rather be 🤩 🎟️: https://nashsc.co/4bn7yrD

The Atmosphere is a new open network. The features: - Your account works on all atmosphere apps - You can switch to a new provider with no fuss - Easy to make your own apps on it - Works great with personal websites And, Bluesky is an atmosphere app.

Favorite bench of the day so far

For days now - nay weeks! - atmosphereconf.org has not-so-quietly been stealing our records, themes and lexicons! It's time to fight back, which is why atmo.rsvp has stolen back all of them events records and even a few components from atmosphereconf.org Full schedule: atmo.rsvp/p/atmosphere...

free nerd snip: An unauthenticated feedgen you can call to get recent posts by a PDS for a landing page.

takedowns happening while I sleep 🫡

I'll be speaking at #atmosphereconf in a little over a week. Looking forward to seeing everyone, and finishing my talk prep 😅

Early Nashville SC game today and a high of 83. I’m excited to sit outside and soak up some sun

Zoo is hiring a Rust infra engineer! zoo.dev/jobs/4633118... Come work with us, on our Rust services!

I've realized I've been telling PDS admins how they can tackle these spam accounts from being created on their PDS, but just realized I never explained that as the end user, YOU can also hide them from your views with @skywatch.blue. Wrote how below.

Like clockwork. This joke is probably getting as old as my tailscale, tailwind, railway cli joke, but it's worth at least one last chuckle

I just pushed a new version of goat (v0.2.3). it includes a new 'xrpc' sub-command for calling API endpoints in various ways. give it a try!

I think it's worth saying out loud that independent PDSs are not the only ones with these spam accounts showing up. Even Bluesky's PDSs have them as well. It's a whole network problem on open PDSs, and the only way to really combat it is via automated moderation.

Fridays always have that good atproto news.

fig has got to be tired of carrying the whole protocol.

Introducing Hubble! We got some support to build a really big mirror!!

Thrilled to be working with @bad-example.com, whom you know from the excellent @microcosm.blue tools, on making the atproto network ever more resilient atproto.com/blog/introdu...

I'm never going live down the "It takes 11 steps to migrate an account on PDS MOOver" and at least 4 of the steps that were listed are just the normal login flow when you're not on a Bluesky PDS and another 2 is just the normal PLC flow everyone does 🫠

ominous, anyone want to share what worked 👀

Took a bit of a break from working on the workshop to get my badge in order. I ran out of time to do a rust firmware on it, but I did write a little guest book that loads records from constellation and shows them on it.

Some of these atmosphere conf talk titles are A+
