great thread of our IETF BoF session today huge thanks to everyone that participated in person & remote for more info on what a "BoF" is & what are plans at the IETF are check out: docs.bsky.app/blog/taking-...

best part of the IETF was getting to talk about our amazing ecosystem 💙

Montreal watch party for #ietf124 🍿 World Series but for protocols 🙃

look, the goal isn't federation for the sake of federation. the goal is to build up followers and clout, then self-immolate online in the most disorienting and entertaining way possible.

It’s weird that of all the scifi media predicting the future Tim and Eric’s Celery Man sketch got it the closest

having friends over for dinner tonite. little do they know i'm making sloppy joes

Great read on "science enshittification" and the better futures possible with new open social networks like bsky! Also 🎯 re pivotal role of institutions - "real change depends on institutions investing in tech that puts community before shareholders." www.eff.org/deeplinks/20... h/t @bmann.ca

talking with @retr0.id about the invalid plc ops that got snuck into the directory

does anyone know if there's a markdown -> leaflet converter?

atpropos of nothing

microcosm is hard decentralization - 2x full network non-US-based public relays, among longest running indies - 3x public jetstream - the only public PLC mirror running the reference PLC code/with full PLC API support - the first public record cache infra built around com.atproto.*.getRecord

imo this is one of the most important things that needed to exist for more folks to feel comfortable trying out non-Bluesky PDSes huge shoutout to Bailey for taking this one on

Blacksky Algorithms == Hard Decentralization.

atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀 just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco... tl;dr expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

Lexicon schema documentation on PDSls

im getting back to atproto writing again! slowly catching up with the backlog with @teal.fm , the For You feed, fandom culture on atproto and more

Jazzed for the conference and the ATProto x science side event we're co-organizing with @tgoerke.bsky.social 🚀 Save the date! 📆 Also - ideas for cool speakers or projects in the ATProto science space are most welcome! Feel free to share here/DM/email

let's gooooo

"can you tell the difference between a meaningful and serendipitous moment in the real world and the howl of 1000s of gpus trying to optimize for you lingering on your phone for 0.5s longer?" "can you?"

just briefly enjoyed an ai slop video before realizing it was ai slop someone plz help convince me my life is still worth living

i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks

after suffering several terrible tragedies my sister & i caveat every text like "call me when you can - not bad news" except when it is actually bad news we say "call me when you can - bad news but not death/sickness"

Want to remark on a sentiment I've heard from the AT dev community ‒ in specific words, even, from @bmann.ca, @knowtheory.net, and @rude1.blacksky.team, which I'll likely botch here: Lead with joy, not fear. I think that belief shows up a lot, and it's really affected me for the better!

oh cool the first time i've read a nobel prize winner before they won the prize. i just read satantango earlier this year. what a harrowing spider web of misery of a book (complimentary) www.nobelprize.org/prizes/liter...

if we made a tool that made AT sync super easy, what would be your hopes and dreams for it? i have a pretty good idea, but wanna hear any feedback before i get too far along

for atproto devs and protocol watchers, I published an overview of the network moderation architecture. it tries to cover all the mod actions possible for each service type. this design has been around a while, but not well documented. this doc is not very polished, but could clarify some details

disagree overall obvs but i do really like the idea of the protocol being a mexican pizza

reached enlightenment doing deadlifts to deftones under a single garage bulb

i wrote down the process of resolving an at:// URI step by step. turns out, it's a great way to learn how the AT protocol works!

go devs really rip on typescript and then use GORM 🤣

this but good

this one's for you, IP licensing care-ers! myself included, very very glad to have this out. still wish there was a good license for protocol specifications which *only* gave patent rights, but between this pledge and our recent IETF draft posting, I think things are on firm ground

tldr: go nuts, do your thing, fork our oss work, build a company on the protocol. you're a part of the network flourishing, so we're cheering you on.

independent plc org, ietf, migrating back to bsky, patent pledge BROTHER WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED

at://devs! I wrote up a lexicon style guide, looking for feedback. also cooking on a linting tool to check a a bunch of these

it is october 1st, your pds homepage needs to be spooky I don’t make the rules

damn why is this so much cooler than the bsky site

beautiful

so rad

Was a lot of fun to see pdsmoover.com traffic was at the same hour this post was made.

so much is happening

okay and as promised, the bluesky PDS is officially open for returning users to migrate their accounts back! hoping this lowers the stakes & gives folks the confidence to explore some other PDSs in the network! docs.bsky.app/blog/incomin...

aw lord im cryin now honored to have worked alongside jaz the last couple years - truly one of a kind 💜

great article - highly recommend giving it a read

lol tbh i forgot this repo was public 😆 i'll probably actually roll this out tmrw i gotta go watch one battle after another
