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

fascinating lightning talk by @makeworld.space and @udit.bsky.social !! def want to try out pollen #atmosphereconf

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

If you want to put perceptual hashes on ATproto, this is a draft spec explaining how to do that. Let's chat!

You're invited to visit my garden and steal all my special spores. spores.garden/charlebois.i...

Have you noticed how some people have bad takes? Horrid! Couldn't we empower them to engage with unfamiliar topics in an informed way? How do we make context travel? In our latest dripline post, @literaryarsonist.press uses the 1700s as a lens to explore the structure of online discourse.

Bluesky is great, but do you ever feel like it has TOO MANY POSTS? Do you wish you could read it in 20 minutes over coffee? We built you a newspaper!

Did you know that you can share your @smokesignal.events RSVPs in your spores.garden? Who else is going to #ATmosphereConf 2026? 👀

I built something a little like this! It doesn't summarize into 300 words, but it does generate a cute little bespoke newspaper with custom sections, etc. I find it pretty useful at avoiding, yeah, the 30 minutes of peeling layers back. Watch out: it will RIP THROUGH your tokens.

When spores.garden generates your theme, it also determines if you get a special spore✨. It will be displayed in your garden to start, but other gardeners can steal it, enabling it to travel throughout the network of gardens! Can you find any spores in the wild?

try this out goose.wisp.place

inspired by @hypha.coop's garden spores, read.pckt.blog generates unique blobs* for publications that don't have icons, seeded by the pub's rkey. (*not the atproto kind lol)

Bluesky is ridiculously well-positioned for the agent internet. Everything signed = agents can build up un-fakeable reputations. newsletter.squishy.computer/p/llms-break...

Add your writing, reposts, and records to your spores.garden! Hit the upper right EDIT to open up edit mode, then add sections at the bottom of your page. You can add custom content via Markdown or HTML, new images, or repost existing things from Bluesky, Leaflet, or Standard.Site, or Smoke Signal.

tsk tsk tsk

adding my own top secret spore mode to map.sky.boo mwahahaa

Not a blog, not a website builder, not a social media. Spores.garden is a cozy place to highlight whatever is important to YOU. Write new posts, share images, and bring together your ideas from across the Atmosphere by editing and adding new sections to your garden.

Thanks to @literaryarsonist.press for this new spores.garden feature that enables adding posts to your garden by simply pasting their URL. You can see this very post blooming at the top of my garden: spores.garden/@charlebois....

Humans are really good at recognizing an image even when it's been cropped, rotated, deep-fried, de-saturated, etc. Computers, in general, aren't as good: different bits=different image. Our latest dripline post discusses some techniques that allow computers to recognize similarity at scale

BUSINESS GOOSE HAS SPECIAL SPORE GO STEAL IT!!!

The @hypha.coop crew built spores.garden, along with a very nice write up "We built you a garden" hypha.coop/dripline/we-... There are lots of great phrases in it, like "selecting and curating meaningful content is a way of reclaiming your humanity on the web" margin.at/bmann.ca/hig...

Grow your garden on spores.garden! https://spores.garden/@bmann.ca (Built by @hypha.coop, the above is default text)

come checkout my garden!! Grow your garden on spores.garden! https://spores.garden/@j4ck.xyz

very nice to see you tending your spores.garden

wow spores.garden is beautiful, conceptually and aesthetically

We built you a garden! Spores.garden is a personal site where you can curate your thoughts and explore other people’s gardens by following a trail of digital flowers. We’re still building and adding to it, so let us know what you like and what features you’d want to see!

Hey friends! Reminder that for those of you who are passionate about DASL (and who isn't?), there's a DASLing Group meeting this coming Thursday: luma.com/zqo7ksph On the menu: @makeworld.space's Perceptual Fingerprints and Web Tiles.

Hot off the internets — there's a brand new kid on the DASL block: Web Tiles! It's still early days, some key features are missing, and there are some rough edges, but you can publish tiles to AT and play with the idea! webtil.es

Trust is multi-layered. To trust a claim, you must be able to trust the chain that relayed it (cryptography helps, but isn't enough), AND the originating institution. When claims are AI-generated, who do we trust? Our new piece argues that trust in AI providers equals trust in incentives and values.

Who took this photo? When? Where? You can answer these questions with cryptography. Read our new post to learn how: https://hypha.coop/dripline/who-took-this-photo/

Relatedly-ish, a2ui.org and json-render.dev. I don't know if either will go anywhere but it seems to be getting some attention
