looking back at all that happened in the last month and how some key communication has changed, i'm increasingly convinced that this is the case

Seize the means of distribution. All other forms of power are secondary

In the most frustrating moments, no matter what is happening, never become radicalized against people. Become radicalized against the problem domain. Hate the sin, hate the conditions that made sinners out of us, but love people.

the current anti-tech sentiment is spiraling into something incredibly bad.

for fuck's sake, no, bsky is not selectively moderating against trans people, if anything, some people have done a lot of behaviour that according to the letter of the rules would result in permabans, and yet they're getting 24h strikes and being let back on because of community pressure.

Got bad news: woke up to several different messages explaining how there are no atproto services other than Bluesky! We regret to inform you that Streamplace seems to have retrocausally never even ever existed. Our top chronomancers are on the case.

they are going to have a wild ass meeting at Skyseed GmbH on monday „So… why is our mail inbox filled with people screaming about waffles at us?“

the people saying proposing federation as a solution to those angry about blue sky's moderation decisions are, I feel, somewhat missing the point federation doesn't solve their grievances because they don't want different moderation, they want people they don't like to be punished by an Authority

Es rettet uns kein höheres Wesen Kein Gott, kein Kaiser, noch Tribun Uns aus dem Elend zu erlösen Können wir nur selber tun

Consumerism is kind of undeniably a political system, and we get twisted because of that unacknowledged frame People have tangibly expressed more political power as a customer than they ever have with voting. It comes off as learned helplessness that they can’t perceive themselves as anything else

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Love y'all, fellow coworkers from the ATProto company 🩵

annoying "the admins" until your pet peeve moderation decision is enacted against established processes, guidelines and/or terms of service, is mastodon behaviour. organise, setup and turn around infrastructure for your community, or at least stop being a dipshit to the people doing this for you.

appview that lets you ban a user per hour. thundersky: 39m dids enter, last one standing gets the ssh keys

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

WAFFLES etc is an elaborate plot to further accelerate decentralization, by pissing off the parts of the user base that are mainly responsible for derailing productive discourse and destroying the vibes, pushing the status quo from whining at the mods, towards community driven action. slay queen.

What you're refering to as Bluesky, is in fact, AT Protocol/Bluesky, or as I've recently taken to calling it, ATProto+Bsky. Bsky is not a decentralised system unto itself, but rather another free Appview for a functioning ATProto system made useful by the PDS, Relay and vital network components…

after a month of svelte+kit, there is still this desire to do a solid.js rewrite. can't even point to an overly specific reason, except personal taste in how reactivity is expressed.

ol‘ zuck is getting dril back onto atproto

love: discovery of shared sacredness, collective agency, shared purposes

"Like with open source, open social is a compounding effort. Every mildly successful open social app lifts all open social apps. Every piece of shared infrastructure can benefit somebody else. At some point, open is bound to win."

"We don't talk about politics at work" Imagine dedicating your life to something and not even daring to dream that your work could have a political impact Looking deep into the innermost part of your soul and there's giant glowing letters there spelling out "B2B SaaS"

a web framework with kdl for markup and gleam for scripting would fix me.

excited to share that we are following through on our earlier commitments and putting together an independent+neutral organization to house the DID PLC system, includes the directory service

omg, this looks so nice

hot take: pds on a pi in a box with an admin app is a product that mainly appeals to the homelab demographic, that rather has fun with deploying a container on their own hardware.

we should not, under any circumstance, compare a new protocol that we are looking to make accessible to less technical people, to fucking SMTP

lexicons not having a nice upgrade path and no versioning except chucking in a specifier for that into the nsid, leads me more often than not to over generalizing and premature future proofing. choice paralysis, hooray…

horizontal scaling strategy for atproto infrastructure

encoding data in the collection name, yea or nay? contrived e.g. i have list records and entry records. besides other structuring and aggregation options, one could create a list specific entry collection (com.example.[$listId].entry). #atdev

yo @deno.land, your new request limits for deploy ea w/o a credit card get eaten up by wordpress exploit bots alone. this deployment is used only for dev purposes currently and wouldnt make it till the end of the month.

ah yes, the collectionCollectionBuilder, receiving a repo and a collection as params. naming things is so easy, i should tackle cache invalidation next.

well, at least consensus reality breakdown has a kick-ass soundtrack

Conversations around decentralisation and the open social web have gotten fairly unproductive, resulting in a letter calling for mutual respect Im signing it, and with that, I have thoughts regarding discourse, decentralisation and why this space matters. connectedplaces.online/on-discourse...

wanna push through and get this project to a state where i can do a preview release, but also starting to feel a bit of exhaustion/burn out after dealing with some particularly stupid bugs the last days.

A piece of advice for all ATmospheric travellers:

looking at other projects lexicons for reference, I often can't shake the feeling of "that seems kinda over engineered and prematurely optimised" #atdev

remembered the password of my first bluesky account and damn, never knew that i was *that* early.

still convinced that a bluesky post should be called a breeze, instead of skeet

it's a Hutzelbude & code night music.apple.com/de/playlist/...

Recently there has been a lot of dividing & heated discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol. Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting, I proposed releasing a statement on this discourse, you can read the full statement here: github.com/swicg/genera... #activitypub #atprotocol #atproto #SocialWeb

Im doing everything I can to keep the internet a wonderful place what the fuck are you doing

nah, it's totally fine to have a 21 character long handle. regretting nothing at all here.

This is totally the selling point. It's actually one of two: the other selling point is helping to solve the cold start problem. They're not Bluesky's users, they're members of the atmosphere.

regarding the upcoming bookmarks and its implementation as yet another appview feature. #atdev

delete linkedin, hit the atproto docs, network up

"This social media app might seem ordinary, even underdeveloped, to your typical user. But it hides a nifty architecture under a react native frontend. Let's explore it through the magic of downloading two of them…"

I cant log off for too long. I worry about you all
