May 14 You'll find me at://montréal meetup showing some of @hypha.coop's work. Venez voir ça!

CONGRATS!!

We did a massive investigation, made a zine, and then threw a sold-out party. What part of that doesn't make you want to support independent local media?! hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-ju...

this is off-the-cuff, but I've been pounding the table about it for a while--implementation is and remains the easy part. AI services are the easy part the hard part is *executive strategy* and I am not aware of anyone going even near consulting, etc. for that completely underserved segment

so you join bluesky, but ah these people are so annoying! good news , you can now access - grain.social - plyr.fm - beaconbits.app - atmo.rsvp all without ever looking at The Posts

Big day: Leaflet now supports EMAIL NEWSLETTERS 📧📬💌 Turn on ~Newsletter Mode~ and readers can subscribe with email as well as atproto! This is in alpha, and only available with Leaflet Pro. Help us test & reach out with any q's! Drop your email at lab.leaflet.pub — we'll send something soon :)

May Day reading. A comic on Argentine tech co-ops and the power of worker-led collaboration to build fairer technologies. Other Tech Worlds Are Possible, Vol. 2: digilabour.com.br/comic-book-o...

Happy to cover the 🍕 budget (and order more last minute 😆). It was a great crowd and people attended from all over the GTHA!

Thanks everyone for coming out! Really great to see how much interest and chat there was. Stay tuned for updates!

Good call @tedunderwood.com!  https://openai.com/index/where-the-goblins-came-from/

For non-Finnish speakers - "Bluesky has reportedly become the social network for science and research." We would add - the broader Atmosphere, not just Bluesky :) Either way - LFG

Our Pollen browser extension is now live on Chrome and Firefox! It's an experimental tool for adding "claims" to images on Bluesky (commentary, provenance, facts) directly attached to the image content itself. nectar.hypha.coop

looking forward to seeing you all (atpro)toronto folks next week!

My project for the last year, Orbital Studies Issue № 0 is available now! Orbital Studies is a literary science magazine. We publish writing and art in service of a more beautiful scientific culture. Includes work from @philipcball.bsky.social, @spencer.place, Michael Levin... orbitalstudies.com

Pollen is now available! If you thought our talk was cool, try the demo for yourself: nectar.hypha.coop Or read the blog post I wrote to understand how and why it works: hypha.coop/dripline/pol...

I thought this was worth following up on: ted.leaflet.pub/3mjx7nfxjss2i

Lexa Michaelides from @hypha.coop wants more Canadians on Blue sky! #DXC26 #DXC

Walled garden social media platforms are *still* killing local journalism, especially in Canada. Plus now referral traffic is down b/c of AI says Tai from @thelocal.to #DXC26

First principles for the panel: in media, ‘provenance supplies truth’ #DXC26

Happening now! Hypha’s @lexa.fyi alongside Bruce McCormack, @thelocal.to’s Tai Huyhn, Wilf Dinnick and Nora Young talking about provenance, media & democracy #DXC26

If you're at #dxc2026, come to "Knowing What's Really Real: Content Provenance, the Media & Democracy" at 11am. Hypha member @lexa.fyi is speaking alongside an awesome panel www.democracyxchange.org/sessions/med...

#DXC26 starts today! Canada’s 7th annual Democracy Summit brings together bold voices and big ideas to strengthen and protect our democracy—at a moment that demands both. 3 days. 90+ speakers. Sold out. Let’s get to work. Read the full release at: www.democracyxchange.org/news/democra...

Anyone looking for a breath of fresh air in the Atmosphere should try @anisota.net by @dame.is and @hypha.coop's spores.garden. It's a wonderful calming experience. Everyone else, of course, too. 🌿 thegoodwork.blog/posts/planti...

April 29th! Come talk about atproto! Featuring demos by @bad-example.com, @hypha.coop, and more. atmo.rsvp/p/atproto.to...

Written media, from this bluesky post to the front page of the Toronto Star, will soon be consumed primarily via AI mediators. We believe this can be a time of great opportunity for media publishers, so we put together this short survey of the evolving landscape to help you navigate the moment.

In case you missed our talk at #AtmosphereConf, it's now up on YouTube!

doing my favorite thing of composing stuff together, and toying around with x402 and Privacy Pass to see how they can play together to introduce a sort of a blinding layer to x402 an intro to both, how they're used and a possible way to integrate them! kobi.leaflet.pub/3m3pyyctda22i

our @makeworld.space will be organizing some ATProto meetups in toronto soon! Follow @atproto.to for more

Pollen in one picture:

@hypha.coop is at #AtmosphereConf and launching Nectar, a new API that allows searching for similar images across the Atmosphere. Use it to track reposts, make image annotations, watch social trends, and more. Learn more here: nectar.hypha.coop/

Blacksky trending topics are live.

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.

this is crazy — bro topped an LLM benchmark without changing weights at all he sliced an LLM wide open, in the middle, and duplicated a block of ~7 layers circuits ftw! dnhkng.github.io/posts/rys/

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...

Can't wait to see y'all at @atmosphereconf.org next week! I'll be there representing @hypha.coop alongside @udit.bsky.social

We recently crossed $6K/mo in recurring subscriptions 🎉 A nice milestone If I was solo on Blacksky that would be enough for me to make a living full-time on just all of your direct support But this year is about growing and providing for the core team who took/will take risks to work alongside me

Paul's article prompted a long one from me: What is the purpose of protocols? connectedplaces.online/the-purpose-...

The AI revolution could yield a more equitable society or entrench existing inequities. As always, indigenous communities find themselves at the forefront of this battle. We loved this paper's proposals for indigenous data governance. It's more than royalties: tech & expertise must be transferred.

got lightrail backfilling over 400 repos/sec for bits, though it's settling closer to 300/s so looking like over 24h for full-network backfill (it's not actually disk- or cpu-bound, this is all limited by scheduling resyncs from enough different PDS hosts concurrently)

Hello from WordPress! 👋 This post was published directly to my PDS! In the best case it show up on bsky and standard.site compatible sites! https://matthiaspfefferle.blog/2026/03/19/hello-from-wordpress-%f0%9f%91%8b/

So exciting! Huge props to @bnewbold.net, @dholms.at, et al for making this happen. Definitely still a long journey ahead but this is a huge step! 👏

THIS IS GENIUS

Heeey, look, it's me! I'm super hyped to announce that @bsky.app have given me a grant to work on the standards for the Federated Credential Management API (or FedCM) to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

Thank you to Google @opensource.google for joining #AtmosphereConf as a major sponsor! We appreciate your support!

Next week! Hypha will be representing tech coops at the launch of the Commoning Labour and Democracy at Work book launch. There are still a few tickets left. Come hear some different takes on transforming the economy

We will be giving a lightning talk at ATmosphere 2026! Come along to hear @makeworld.space and @udit.bsky.social talk about how provenance tools can be used by communities to restore transparency in a world of AI-generated feeds.

today, we're announcing our €3,8M ($4.5M) seed financing round, led by byFounders with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Antler, Thomas Dohmke (former CEO of GitHub), Avery Pennarun (CEO of Tailscale) among other incredible angels. read more on what's next: blog.tangled.org/seed
