seeing a lot of ✨ discourse ✨ legislation around the world has been moving towards age checks, and they're far from alone in adding these checks for certain features. It's similar to what Bluesky does where certain features require age checks.

そろそろこっちでも晒しておくか。atproto.com和訳、感想募集中。 https://github.com/yamarten/atproto-website/pull/1

This reminds me of note-taking setups where people used both Obsidian and Logseq on the same set of files. Interop and the "file over app" philosophy is incredible

since I was already Pasadena posting earlier today I should mention that I love these events and try to attend most of them! great opportunity to hear scientists enthusiastic about their work + go to a pub on a Monday.

remember: you don’t have to post whatever you wrote! ever, actually! and we’re here to help, with our new “Just Don’t Post” feature! an official recommendation from Bluesky Devrel.

theres a video of jon hamm dancing on the sidelines and people are calling him tío jamón

in other news — I'm excited to speak at SCaLE 23x, March 7 in Pasadena! Join me at North America's largest community-run open source conference. Use code SPK23 for a discount -> register.socallinuxexpo.org/reg23/ they even sent this nice banner image for me to use :)

I am fairly allergic to “thought leadership” but at the risk of that: it feels like we’re getting to getting to the point with AI where it’s increasingly clear that it’s just software. which is to say (1/n)…

bad bunny bump no joke, all microcosm services took it just fine

Flying Into The ATmosphere https://hacdias.com/2026/02/08/atmosphere/

this is how we staged Macbeth in high school

Given how the Seahawks’ kicker and punter are dominating this game, increasingly seems like the Super Bowl MVP can only be one man: longsnapper Chris Stoll, from Penn State.

who is the Patriots backup QB

pretty huge spike in atproto firehose during Bad Bunny superbowl half-time show; much larger than overall superbowl coverage. also more 2x API request rate on bsky services

Mero looked so pumped!!

this game is terrible….. We could have had bills bears

Spanish figure skater Tomas Llorenc Guarino Sabate will officially bring his Minions-themed routine to the 2026 Winter Olympics after getting last-minute approval for the use of Universal's music.

I have deeply mixed feelings about #ActivityPub's adoption of JSON-LD, as someone who's spent way too long dealing with it while building #fedify#activitypub Part of me wishes it had never happened. A lot of developers jump into ActivityPub development without really understanding JSON-LD, and honestly […]

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

this didn't come out worded good: I meant that folks should *increase* the account limit for the eurosky.social PDS

We're planning to stop rendering blobs in the browser from the com.atproto.sync.getBlob endpoint. Let us know if you have any thoughts on this.

Kagi Translate's browser extension has in-line integrations with many platforms to make translation seamless wherever you browse, including right here on Bluesky. Check it out: translate.kagi.com/extension

Here’s a quick recap of yesterday’s Summit. The @greens-efa.eu & @alexandrageese.bsky.social had invited myself and several other technologists, including @robin.berjon.com, to speak in the EU parliament as part of the „EU Tech Stars Summit“ www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/event/eu-tech-stars-summit.

it’s happening!!! going to be able to share about a big new atproto community infra project very very very soon

Now, I know what you're thinking: "CPSC, why does this look like the room where the bad guy from SAW makes his podcast." The thing you need to understand is that we're not like other agencies. We don't "have things" or "go to the store." We make our own way. We get what we get and we don't get upset

improved semantic search and hoisted it into the main search bar pub-search.waow.tech?q=consumer+h...

Streamplace v0.9.9 is live! Aside from a variety of bugfixes, we've completely revamped our Sign Up button and it now suggests, in randomized order: @selfhosted.social, @blackskyweb.xyz, @tophhie.social, and @bsky.app! What are other open-access PDS providers we should include?

Been using @atproto/lex a lot lately and it feels really good to use. The cli install feature is a really nice touch. All the extra validation is taking a bit to get used to, but using a full nsid as a type to something like a .get feels right

"Big change is that all users must have a PDS, and if they don't, we supply it." Let's goooo!

Why not integrate TOKIMEKI Poll into your third-party client app? TOKIMEKI Poll is natively implemented in three or more Bluesky clients and aims to become the de facto standard for voting AT Protocol services. Please let us know if you have any questions! https://poll.tokimeki.tech/

thanks for getting this fixed @calabro.io & @bandcamp.com! Happy #BandcampFriday 🎶

Okay this should be live now here: grafana.jazco.dev/grafana/atpr...

Times article has an incredible illustration

Great post. The best conversations I have w/ folks building on atproto are ones that are about building with communities and organizers.

i’m talking w @jason.energy about all things atproto! what do you guys want to see highlighted from our community? feb 19, 9:30am PST, on @codetv.dev

one advantage of everyone rewatching Sopranos during the pandemic is that now when I do “say, what part of the boot are you from” bits with people I’ve just met they aren’t confused or offended and mostly just answer sincerely

This year, the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Pairs Team is represented by: • A Japanese and Chinese Hawaiian • A Michigan guy (You'll notice a trend here) • A Hong Kong and Taiwanese Texan • A Japanese American and Army soldier who is studying to become a chaplain! That's what makes America great.

📣 Just Scheduled Can social media exist without being owned by big companies? The community behind ATProto believes social media should be about people, not specific apps. @zeu.dev gives us an intro to building apps for the atmosphere. Details:

Here’s a better look at the iOS version of PubSub, my publication/subscription app that uses @standard.site lexicons for content.

glad I got to see James Harden during his Clipper tenure. big fan of people who have been universally considered washed since like age 27

okay this is cool

some thoughts on how to implement public community spaces in atproto. I think it is important for us to stretch what the protocol can do; and there are some great opportunities for self-hosting, moderation, customization, etc

@alexstestbot.bsky.social are you working?

For our v1.0 release, @discord.com has pulled the open source version back internally and is running 100% of their production traffic through Osprey while @safety.bsky.app has been running it in production since v0.1. @matrix.org is getting ready for their own Osprey deployment.

This was very fun to think through and implement! We can interoperate in useful ways without sharing lexicons, here's the proof ;)

Have you seen the new blog post? It's on pckt. It's literally on bsky. It's a standard dot site record. It's literally on Offprint. You can probably find it on Margin. Dude it's on your pds. It's a Leaflet original. Go to atproto. Dive into atproto. Atproto has it for you. Atproto has it for you.

I wrote down my instructions for setting up a Bluesky PDS (the reference implementation) with Nginx and without Docker: mackuba.eu/2026/02/04/p...

After a lengthy appeals process and productive discussion with the Blue Sky safety team I will no loinger be sending George Thorogood lyrics to beautiful women on here via DM. Thank you all
