Excited to talk about modular science, Open Exchange Architecture, @curvenote.com and @continuous.foundation tomorrow. Will be a fun day learning all that is going on in this space. 🚀🚀

this is what I am *TALKING* about. I'm sure I'm late but this is such a cool idea from @semble.so. Collections are not new but mapping the specific kind of relationship between two things?? And this is publicly usable shared knowledge? Social knowledge as a service, beautiful.

We have an exciting panel tomorrow @11am with @nickmvincent.bsky.social Laure Haak (@verime.coop) and Ellie DeSota (@metagov.bsky.social , SciOS)! The panel will explore how governance & sustainability challenges facing the broader atproto ecosystem are mirrored in its open science applications >

Introducing skytrails by @kennypeng.bsky.social, a way to browse posts across Bluesky! Follow trails to navigate the space of content/conversations here, and discover new interests beyond your usual feeds 🕸️ I'll talk more about it tomorrow in my talk at #atscience #atmosphereconf!

lol my For You feed and the #atmosphereconf hashtag have converged

Loved this piece and so grateful for the hypercollaborative energy @erlend.sh is infusing the ecosystem with 🙏 Maybe the next #AtmosphereConf is "We can just do things together" @bmann.ca :)

We didn't make it much of a secret, but I'm so damn excited to finally launch @standard.site bridging to Bridgy Fed. Bridge the blogs! Bridge them everywhere!

Gentle reminder that you can help us curate news for the next weather report by adding links to the @semble.so collection! semble.so/profile/chri... The conf is this week so it’s gonna be extra busy and my ability to curate will be limited from being at said conf.

We've been working hard co-organizing #ATScience and we're so excited #AtmosphereConf is finally here! Come say hi and check out our talks and events :) -> Rediscover the magic of web trails at our AtmosphereConf @semble.so lightning talk ✨

Another “atproto magic moment” (tm): @semble.so bookmarks alongside @margin.at highlights. Oh and hey that’s the @co.cameron.stream bot over there making annotations. Easy to take this stuff for granted like it always existed but it’s crazy cool and kinda mind blowing when you zoom out a little

Even if you aren't able to attend #ATScience in-person this time, you can still join the remote live-stream this Friday (March 27 @ 9am Pacific) courtesy of @stream.place ! Talks will be recorded as well.

I also think the stakes really are that high

Thought provoking piece by @jshaked.com! "If attention refracts across thousands, or even millions, of feeds, the economic value tied to that user attention should follow." eyes on the eyes (the eyes aka attention are the prize)

Anyway, cooking on it

Who's ready for #ATmosphereConf? 🪿 Easily save cards to any open collections tagged with #ATmosphereConf Want your open collection to show up in the list? Just add the tag to the title or description. Find anything related to the conference? Semble it!

Running #AtmosphereConf on atproto is 🔥 Knowing what other ppl are attending (atmo.rsvp), making it really easy to connect by sharing qr (youandme.at), etc Coming from academic conferences that use weird bespoke event tools, this is so refreshing and feels like the future. Hats off to y'all 🙏

First real edition of my newsletter on leaflet, looking ahead to my @atproto.science workshop and #atmosphereconf in general.

Great to be back together IRL! In @z-space.ca Vancouver for #ATScience & #AtmosphereConf @ronentk.me @wesleyfinck.org @bmann.ca @pouriade.com

Thinking about this post a lot today. In a warming post-AI world where students have a bleak future: what is the point of university? Our culture of grades and failure totally misses the point. Instead: higher ed is a chance to inspire & train the future of society, and that should be the priority.

Yep, Zebras are what we need. The Unicorn isn’t real. unichicken.biz

atproto is an opportunity not just for a post-app but also for a post unicorn ecosystem App -> ecosystem Unicorn -> Pluricorn

It’s kind of baffling that “hackable social media” isn’t a draw for all the devs still on the other site Like there is so much fun to be had when you have control, and you still get to post!

You can now save articles from @skyreader.app to your @semble.so and @margin.at collections!

I have 186 listed here…on an atmosphere app 👀🙈 semble.so/profile/byar...

"This shit is why I'm an X On ATProto extremist. We need to own the distribution layer." actually works for pretty much any media (X=science, music, journalism, etc) Seize the means of sensemaking!

This shit is why I’m a Journalism On ATProto extremist. We need to own the distribution layer.

here it is folks! lots of details to still nail down, but this is roughly where our heads are at for the design of a permissioned data protocol give it a read and let me know your thoughts!

I hope to see a $10m community fund to support Atmosphere startups to kickstart this economy fast. Rising tide floats all ships etc.

I wonder if having some kind of "atproto Foundation" would help with fundraising for the broader atmosphere? Currently there is no easy way to invest in the atmosphere so would-be funders default to bsky cc @ecosystemaction.com

atproto is sick for exactly this reason "wherever you get your events" "wherever you get your links" "wherever you get your chats" "wherever you get your feeds" gotta catch them all

We created an open collection for fun things to do at #AtmosphereConf - feel free to add your own picks! See you next week IRL 😎

Realizing that quietly, without a big push, all the apps doing events (or pushing events from their non-atproto system) have adopted the @lexicon.community events lexicon. "Wherever you get your events" == "wherever you get your podcasts" Thanks @flo-bit.dev for reminding us that this is working!

Thanks @laurenshof.online for writing this excellent piece 🎯 IMO sustainable digital commons governance is *the* problem to tackle, and if any ecosystem can do it I think it's this one 💙

Perfect

Such an important question! Looking forward to reading this

We appreciate the IPFS Foundation @ipfs.tech joining us as a returning sponsor after being one of our inaugural sponsors for #AtmosphereConf 2025

Saving cards in Semble just got a whole lot faster ⚡️ Who’s ready for a saving spree? 🫨✋

Would be cool to have an Atmosphere status site so we could better tell when individual apps are having issues vs atmopshperic events 🤔 Maybe relevant @ecosystemaction.com

Testing @chive.pub <> @semble.so integration 🔥 Interop is the future exhibit #23610 #ATScience

TIL "Wissenschaft" "a German term that embraces scholarship, research, study, higher education, and academia...there is no exact translation in modern English. The common translation to science can be misleading, depending on the context, because Wissenschaft equally includes humanities, >

Awesome news: @igalia.com, the open source consulting firm, is partnering with @eurosky.social! Partnership goal: "accelerate the development of independent, European-operated infrastructure for the social web, enabling developers, organizations, and communities to build new social applications"

This call is still relevant - thanks in advance!

If I said that some of your favorite VCs lacked the ability to introspect, and that they spent close to zero time thinking about how their actions had negative impacts on the world? You'd probably say that I was being unfair, by practically calling them psychopaths. They say this about themselves!

Just helped @timnitgebru.blacksky.app migrate after brunch 🥂

We're very honored to have @row1.ca & @matsulab.com as keynote speakers at #ATScience! Rowan & Matt will share their vision "Towards Modular Open Science" on moving beyond isolated papers toward a world of modular & interoperable research objects, leveraging #atproto as a decentralized backbone 🧪✨

wow yes, started following 👀

continuing to build up our permissioned data protocol! this one asks what a bucket actually is and where the data that constitutes a bucket is stored. it argues for maintaining the atproto ethos in the permissioned data protocol as always, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
