new data diary! this is the most in the weeds yet, all revolving around our proposed URI structure for permissioned data. turns out you can figure out a lot about a protocol from the uri! as always, let me know what you think :)

"explode a social media app's infrastructure so that it spans the internet instead of a datacenter" sounds dumb but it basically works

ooh nice my talk got posted! this is a 30 min whirlwind introduction to atproto through a technical lens, basically building up the stack from DIDs -> repos -> PDSes -> relays -> lexicons -> OAuth -> applications

actually apple, volume should be turned up

Happy birthday @inkandswitch.com! Ink & Switch is now 10 years old, and is celebrating with a piece of interactive digital art on www.inkandswitch.com – have a play with it :)

Daniel Holmgren, head of protocol at Bluesky, will give a talk at FediForum on Tuesday, April 28, titled: "Atproto: A Technical Introduction" Have you ever wondered how #ATProtocol actually works? Come join us to find out, online! https://fediforum.org /cc @dholms.at

& you lose if you say the word "protocol", "decentralized", "repo", or "pds" to illustrate: the cloud is "the thing where i keep my photos when i drop my phone in a lake". if you even mention a "server" while explaining the cloud then you lost the thread

It's an account for Atmosphere apps. It's not a "handle" for the whole "internet". It's not a "Bluesky" account, a lot of us don't host our account there, and hopefully less will over time. Atmosphere came from the community, we build as a community. Don't overcomplicate it. Atmosphere Account.

“atmosphere” is also a genuinely cool word and nerd projects pretty much never get actually cool words, lean in

had to share these bizarre shops that someone made of me & @samuel.fm (tho i can't quote the post) bsky.app/profile/luft... idk what to make of it. it's up there with the time someone wrote erotic fan fiction about me & @pfrazee.com

if you came to my talk over Dame's, you made a grave error in judgement that you can finally rectify by watching this video

modelo time w the good folks at germ 🍻

what's your ai strategy? what's your quantum computing strategy? what's your ww3 strategy? what's your collapse of consensus reality strategy? what's your restructuring of global supply chains strategy? what's your pedophile billionaire cabal blackmail ring strategy?

this captures it perfectly pleasure to meet and talk with @laurenshof.online in person

hey on the note of rockin in the open 👀

The Official Announcement ™️ i'm super stoked about this. big thanks to everyone involved! if you want a say in the long term design of atproto, this is the place! hop in the mailing list and start participating. we'll be sending some messages in there soon

Pleased to announce that an Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATP) working group has been created at the IETF! Grateful to everybody who participated in the BoF and chartering process. Details on next steps and how to get involved inside. atproto.com/blog/kicking...

good thread of questions from @pevohr.bsky.social on permissioned data that I finally got the time to respond to!

we have @germnetwork.com badges on Bluesky profiles and @stream.place livestream links on avatars what other Atmospheric integrations would yall like to see in the Bluesky app?

what's a "bluesky"? never heard of it…I rep the atmosphere

I'm still digesting atmosphere conf [+ drafting + scheming etc] but one big takeaway: It was *great* to see the diversity of participants: ~scientists/academics ~journalists/media/publishing ~artists/musicians ~local communities Foundations to build real value for specific contexts & communities!

thoughts on ai & how it relates to the atmosphere

this was my list of important topics going in to atmosphereconf. how did it hold up? funding models and precarity the main one here. VC model and re-distribution of money within ecosystem getting the most air time. I feel like the tangled raise didn't get celebrated/studied as much as it should...

Told my wife when I got home that this was honestly one of the best experiences of my life.

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

Me sewing, me reaping

i didn’t do any user research when making @anisota.net

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing.

AtmosphereConf 2026 is a wrap! We hope all the remote attendees had a great Streamplace experience. When VODs, you ask? They're actually up right now! They're `place.stream.video` records in this repo. One catch: no frontend yet. That's where you come in. Welcome to the Streamplace VOD JAM.

As I leave Vancouver, I am comforted to know that I do so under the vigilant watchful gaze of the goose

wowowow what a week at atmosphere conf feeling incredibly blessed to be building this network with so many kind, smart, thoughtful people y’all the best 💙

come hang this afternoon if you wanna chat permissioned data!

hey we actually did most of what we promised last time! here's what we'll be up to the next 6 months or so 🕺💃

We've got an updated protocol roadmap out, covering the next few months. Look forward to seeing folks at AtmosphereConf later this week!

roll that beautiful rack footage

snuck out to the coast early for some spring skiing, music & hangs with @bnewbold.net ahead of atmosphere conf

Once you experience shared lexicons and the benefits of a single portable identity, it feels like a new open network. But the most important part is that it practically works as an extension of the web. We can add social features to our websites without even mentioning atproto. Frictionless adoption

Thank you @steefjan.bsky.social for this nice write-up of my keynote at QCon London this week: www.infoq.com/news/2026/03... My slides are now up as well: speakerdeck.com/ept/mitigati...
