@blackskyweb.xyz and @eurosky.social have been mentioned multiple times during #FAccT2026 as inspiring examples of community governed digital infra ✨

We made a @userinput.app board where you can add feature requests (and vote on them!), submit bugs, or ask questions about Semble! Looking forward to hearing from y'all!

Charlton McIlwain makes such a poignant point at #FAccT2026: what has the decades of work that has measured, documented, & evaluated the failure and bias of AI systems done? we have known the negative impact for decades yet very little has changed

@burrito.space‘s Discord-Semble integration (disjecta.portable.agency) just triggered an aha moment for me 💡 They have a bot in their Discord that posts all links shared there to a @semble.so collection. I was following that collection on Semble and found some cool links there, so >

So fun to follow this feed! In town for #FAccT2026 and already found a bunch of cool papers / events / connections thanks to it 😊

Inspired me to create an open "Ignore ATProto at your peril" collection - contributions welcome :) semble.so/profile/rone...

Are you a company / org that's active on Bluesky & cares about the open social web? You should run your blog / newsletter on Leaflet! Publish on a site you own, where your audience can subscribe with Bluesky *or* email, easily share quotes, recommend posts & more ✨ Reach out with any questions!

"Citizens can use trustworthy AI representatives to keep pace as economic and political life accelerates beyond human reaction times." Curious - what do you think about this statement? (from checks-and-balances.ai)

ATMentions: a web component that pulls how the ATmosphere reacted to any page. Bluesky, @margin.at , @semble.so , @frontpage.fyi , standard.site compatible. Easy to setup: one tag you drop on a page; it surfaces how the ATmosphere reacted to the page — likes, reposts, Margin notes, Semble saves...

1/7 Proud to share our paper, accepted as an oral at ICML '26! We highlight how Big Tech’s influence on AI R&D drives damaging outcomes, and what we as researchers can do about it. We also discuss underlying economic causes. See link for paper, and below for a brief summary arxiv.org/abs/2512.03077

this is huge (if implemented). as i understand it, this is a protocol extending atproto that lets you declare member-only spaces (e.g. forums, groups, or something more exotic) holding data that different apps can read and write. so — like atproto, but with access control

@skyreader.app development update: - your saved article list in Skyreader can now sync with a @semble.so or @margin.at collection - @standard-reader.app collection support

The stages of collective intelligence

"If you’re in the business of knowledge, broadly conceived, ignore #atproto at your peril." 🎯 and #ATScience ;)

"The truly visionary AI for Science company is not automating experiments or AI-generating Nature papers, but building technology to improve the collective sensemaking ability of scientists @cosmik.network and alphaXiv are both examples of startups trying to build new sensemaking infrastructure"

For my Viennese muts and folk on here, I've started to build a collection of resources on initiatives for sustainability in and around Vienna at semble.so/profile/miha... The collection is open and I'd be happy if you shared any cool insights you have!

Month one after launch: 27,000 releases uploaded to Subvert 150,000 tracks 3,000 transactions $80,000 in total transations We own it

Blacksky is building ~the intercommunal net~ where communities create virtual spaces collectively managed by their members -- from moderation policies to recommender algorithms. We're hiring a Founding Engineer (Rust) @ $180K base who will report directly to me and lead our atproto implementation.

I’m pleased to say (as its President Elect) that @resmedia.bsky.social board of trustees agreed on Friday that the Society will stop using X (FYI @sundersays.bsky.social )

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

What is the future of the research narrative, what should peer review look like, and what is the role of philanthropy? This was a fun conversation with. @ronentk.me & @joelchan86.bsky.social you can watch here www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5SQ...

This, and even more - to get super-rich almost requires *suppressing* the cultivation of a self or interiority. “Our system produces, elevates, and rewards psychopaths.” x.com/uTobian/stat...

Real time collective sensemaking in action on @semble.so - I wanted to track the W Social story so I created an open collection. 2 days later it has 27 cards, 7 followers and 7 contributors. And I have a much better handle on what’s going on! >

Sorry if this is a noob question but is it possible to change the slug on a @leaflet.pub post to have a meaningful name? eg in blog.cosmik.network/3mndi5x3aw22b "3mndi5x3aw22b" -> "may-2026" Thanks!

Do you speak/present at events a lot? Would you like to be able to add them to your professional profile? Check out the proposal github.com/singi-labs/s..., triggered by a question/request from @scoiattolo.mountainherder.xyz Any suggestions?

Turn your bookmarks into the building blocks of a collective knowledge network 🔖➡️🧱

Seize the means of sensemaking ✊

Building on some of @chrisshank.com's work, what if we had browsers that were atproto-native? orange link = in your PDS green link = in the PDS of someone you follow Dreaming about the future of social hypertext ✨

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

Actively looking for projects!

eLife Pathways has joined @cairos.network, a dedicated space for open science projects to collaborate & solve problems together. We'll collaborate on a future of knowledge sharing centred on modular publishing, structured discourse & collective intelligence.🌐👇 elifepathways.org/blog/post-18...

Seeing a gifted curator on @semble.so go quiet makes me really appreciate what a gift shared attention is 💙 Share a reading that made your day (on protocol ofc) and you can make the day for many others too, with the click of a button. Magical!

@userinput.app is 🔥

Super cool! Imagining how something like this could be used for @atproto.science "journal" publishing

Frontiers In Research webinar on changes in science communication, the role of social media, and new infrastructure/tools - tomorrow (7/18) at 2 pm ET Looking forward to chatting with @ronentk.me & @joelchan86.bsky.social luma.com/7l18yyg4

Started an open W Social collection on Semble to help track developments, feel free to contribute!

Going to the W Social launch this afternoon at the Brussels Press Club. Should be interesting! Anyone I know joining me?

Reminder - happening tomorrow! Based on the pre-call prep - this should be a fun discussion, with lots of #ATScience topics :)

Why the hell have @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu and @ec.europa.eu migrated from an open-source PDS host (Bluesky) to a closed-source for-profit one (W Social)? It makes no sense, and is also completely ignorant of @eurosky.social, which is based in the EU, open source, and not for profit:

psst. hey, after dark crowd. check it out. atproto.com/off-protocol...

Everybody around atproto is just the freakin' nicest.

How to create reading experiences that "go beyond information transmission and toward reader transformation.” Great paper by @blue-phia.bsky.social @lepidopterane.bsky.social @yijunliu.bsky.social Sarah Sterman @sh1m.bsky.social @maxkreminski.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2606.04308 >

the Bluesky design research team wants to talk with people who are interested in building communities. if that's you, submit this form! your voice will help shape what we build. docs.google.com/forms/d/1ej6...

i need money to make pckt an actual company and to also get userinput.app onto the app store for those sweet sweet push notifications when brookie grant ?? repost and send this to 10 of your richest friends 💕😇

"shifting from solving problems right to raising the right problems " is a big problem for human researchers as well...

Super cool demo of graph.scios.tech at the mira.science conference this week by Jon from @scios.tech ✨ A system for extracting @discoursegraphs.bsky.social from papers with AI, human in the loop editing, and the backend is atproto 🔥 #ATScience in action!

New preprint! We introduce a new benchmark, SciConBench, with 9.11k scientific questions derived from Cochrane Systematic Reviews. We find evidence that frontier AI agents **cannot** synthesize scientific conclusions well. A thread 🧵 w/ @hayoungjung.bsky.social & others!
