acorn is the coolest software tech on atproto

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lmao Rudy said “would you indulge me to read you a passage from The Conquest of Bread?” 😂

Coworking space owner: “So it’s your company but you let the employees tell you what to spend money on?” Me: “I’m really into this non-hierarchical framework for running companies. Have you heard of anarchism?”

After Reddit, X, and other platforms cracked down on communities dedicated to “jailbreaking” AI models, they didn’t disappear. Instead, many relocated to alternative platforms. Over the last year, we’ve seen those communities grow increasingly active, organized, and fast-moving. Short thread 🧵

I am just going to mute the word dying because….

“Rewrite it in Go” said no one ever.

Hear from Rudy and celebrate the Open Web next month at the @publicspaces.net Conference in Amsterdam next month: conference.publicspaces.net/en

🎉 @rude1.blacksky.team, Founder of @blackskyweb.xyz, will be the opening keynote speaker at the Open Social Awards ceremony! 🌐🌱✨ An important institution of the Open Web, Blacksky centers community safety and self-governance by putting digital tools in the hands of community members. 🖤

In order for creators (and any other media org) to join the Atmosphere on masse, there needs to be 0 downsides. 0 friction, 0 feature gaps. There is meaningful value-adds in building a 'safe' audience they own/control, but only if it doesn't take away from their existing business and op efficiency.

Ok but counterpoint, you have no idea what you’re talking about

Trying to find the leak and it's just dudes clickbaiting to start their rap career <<<<<<<<<

i analogize acorn to box seats at a sports game – you see the spectacle, but with the people you care about with you. you get community feeds to gather, and community moderation that protects you on the broader network as opposed to the default solitary torture machine that is modern social media

NGL lol this is a flag on a journalist's worthiness:

Heavy on the “it depends on Bluesky-the-corporation for none of its operation.” 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Agreed.

Sorry to all my friends and para socials but I am no longer subscribing to Substacks. Please find another platform. I want to support you!

NEW: We’ve launched AI Preferences - a feature that lets you decide how AI can use your public data (or not). Your preferences will automatically apply to your Blacksky account and will also be shared across the ATmosphere network for other apps to implement at their discretion.

I'm full of joy seeing all of the cool atproto projects lit up with user activity and contributions from so many wonderful people. Ya'll are all doing great. ♥️

Music streaming on atproto wen?

two things will be the death of me: - the unending march of time - the sheer inability to get my inbox to 0

Yall im too sensitive right now….

Developers are welcome to create test accounts on our server so long as you: - do ~not~ use the .blacksky.app domain handle - email [email protected] first letting us know what you're doing and why Highly likely that your test accounts get flagged as spam and permanently taken down otherwise.

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

We’re live. Two years ago, we released a plan. Today, our collectively owned music platform is open. Explore. Support artists directly. Join the co-op. It’s only the beginning. Sincerely Ours, Subvert

Looking for office space for up to 3 Blacksky team members - In Brooklyn - Coworking is fine but need a private office - Guests allowed - Phone booths for calls - Accessible Any recommendations, send my way. Budget is flexible. Looking to move in within 1 month. Thanks.

you can still communicate here while disengaging with Bluesky the corporation by switching to another PDS using AT Proto, like those run by @rude1.blacksky.team or @eurosky.social or @transrights.northsky.social

“They’re taking the water, they’re taking electricity,” Ismael said, referring to what’s used to cool and power data centers. “Now, they’re taking our land”

Ha, I'm just glad to be on Blacksky, where the people building out the platform actually, you know, like talking to people. That's pretty cool.

It took me five minutes. Can't wait to see more from these guys.

migrei pro blacksky, vamos ver como rola. pra quem quiser, não dura 3 minutos e você pode continuar usando o app do bluesky.

For future reference

Probably worth posting *how* to do that lol. Takes like five minutes, you can even keep using bsky. app and your bsky mobile apps bsky.app/profile/rude...

Random but true story: I have a credit on this film. www.imdb.com/title/tt0113...

I’m a fan of both ActivityPub and Nostr insofar that neither have a venture backed corporation as its founders and governors.

When a mf find themselves acting a lil too familiar

Sky․app 0.5.3 is out! • Fixes bug that was preventing some users from logging into Blacksky • Fresh docs on connecting to Blacksky getsky.app/docs/connect... getsky.app or "Check for Updates" in the app

@getsky.app supports connecting to @blackskyweb.xyz. not many people know this

As a crab in this bucket I’d really appreciate if my fellow crustaceans gave me some breathing room.
