This might be from the backburner since last month, but here we are needing to address the thing. If you have questions about the community permaban at HC Slack last month, see also https://gitlab.com/andreijiroh-dev/hackclub-final-signoff. #blog #blogpost

Would y'all mind tagging all your artist/creator friends? <3 I'd hate for someone awesome to miss the opportunity to share their experience/knowledge/opinions with the rest of the Atmosphere!

Spent too much time creating the preview image for: foryou.club/atmosphere I pulled the current profile pics of the Bluesky accounts for each of the apps that the cross-lexicon For You feed shows. Not sure what's the deal with @pckt.blog Can you spot an Easter egg?

See the fun thing about having rsd is you get both of these

Did you know that we gave a lighting talk at DWeb Camp in July? It's a friendly explainer of what Semble is, check it out or share with a curious friend! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsFl...

Agreed, the whole essay is excellent & a very useful frame. "We have spent centuries building institutions for teaching knowledge [and] certifying expertise. We have paid much less systematic attention to teaching people to ride their own brains." ty @disnetdev.com for bringing it to my attention

So excited about the news and events sections of oso.social. Check it out!

my potato child is woke and respectful, you love to see it

there's been a worldwide campaign against trans people—nowhere has it been stronger (& less opposed) than the uk latest podcast with @aendra.com www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/uk-media-trans

Woohoo! Our niece's *debut* middle grade, PHOEBE OGAWA AND THE ART OF NOT CARING, launches from Annick Press Oct. 20th! ♥️🎉 Cover art: ryuvine, designed by Simin Dewji. https://www.annickpress.com/Books/P/Phoebe-Ogawa-and-the-Art-of-Not-Caring #KidLit #BookSky #LibrarySky #MG

good morning from the Philippines, @poe.atpota.to! do you think @bsky.app is getting into the "bus factor of one" situation in the future, given that most accounts are hosted on its servers, amongside being the lead dev for atproto?

But Atmosphere is more than just microblogging and more than Bluesky. There are Atmosphere apps that offer a different experience than Bluesky. For example, @sifa.id, @flashes.blue, @skylight.social, @sill.social and many others.

Witchsky is not updating to the latest Bluesky version yet as it still has some bugs affecting web users! (and because they're blocking adult links instead of using the labeling system that already exists... once the former is fixed on their end, maybe we could help fix the latter!)

With Arc dead, come to Firefox. Let's not give Chromium any more market share. A thriving web is a diverse one. If you want something really close to the Arc experience, check out Zen. zen-browser.app

I’m reminded of this article from a few weeks ago about the people holding up the Internet sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

"Same foods" are another reason why parents should be seeking autistic wisdom: Otherwise how would one know how important same foods can be for a very young and/or nonspeaking autistic child? And how great is the risk that that same child's distress over food gets dismissed as "autistic behavior"?

#HugOps to the Railway folks out there on hour ~6 of this outage.

It's admittedly a little disheartening when the projects I work on (music, stories, etc) barely get a handful of likes but throwaway/shitposts get 25+ consistently :/ Idk

Hot take: You should build social apps so people can be social, not so you can eventually trap people in a room they no longer want to be in

👀👀👀👀👀

atproto is public by default... which is great until your app needs a private group, or an invite list, or a draft. HappyProto comes with atproto spaces already enabled. You can have permissioned data for your users, even if their PDS doesn't support it yet. #atproto

Hi, we're HappyProto. We help you build on atproto... without the hard parts. You create the app, we'll run the backend: auth, private data, scripting, and an API over 46 million accounts. Welcome to atproto on easy mode. Join the waitlist at happyproto.at. #atproto

crypto natives: Not your keys, not your crypto atproto natives: Not your rotation keys, not your Atmosphere account self-hosters, probably: Not your infra, not your data (idk if that would work since there are hyperscale cloud hosting services, aka the Big 3 cloud infra providers)

sharing my @witchsky.app review over at @atstore.fyi OwO atstore.fyi/products/wit...

For the past year, I've been working hard on HappyView. I've built so many features, and there are now hundreds of apps built on top of it. It's been a long, winding ride, and I've loved every minute of it. #atproto

Worth a read. I feel strongly that the best funded ATproto company should be focused primarily on the protocol and atmosphere, not microblogging, and here’s a thin slice example of where it could redirect focus

🎧 currently on its release listening party lately, on the wishlist right now (although I'll probably pay for the fan club sub for a month (USD 7 is PHP ~441.08 before exchange rate fees from my bank) rather than manually buying them one-by-one)

We're reporting on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for 250+ people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: https://projects.propublica.org/sports-betting-uploader/

I want to express my best wishes to Pope Leo following his surgery yesterday. His serenity and strength are an inspiration for all of us. We hope for his full and speedy recovery.

yeah, that was the 67th edition of #longstoryshort from sheets.works

guess I'll be cross quote posting those game results stuff from my daily log account then

There is a well-worn path from "uwu no politics" to "how was I supposed to know they were bad?" The fandom we get depends on who and what we support. Folks who ignore the shitty people in their spaces don't realize how it pushes the cool people out of that space until only the shitty ones are left.

Today is International Coming Out Day. For many people, including me, it was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. I just wanted to express my support for people who are still struggling, waiting or scared. You are not alone. Love, Nyuff 🧡💙

I know a LOT of Black, trans, disabled, fat, and ND people who still use X & who are absolutely far stronger pracitioners of revolutionary and liberatory politics than many of the folks on Bluesky. It might be that some of us have a lot more experience living & thriving under oppression.

“This award is for all those children who are voiceless whose voices need to be heard.” On 10 October 2014 Malala Yousafzai was in a chemistry class when she received the news that she had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. At just 17 years old, she became the youngest laureate ever awarded.

and this is why seeing right wing tech nerds try and co-opt open source makes me want to go full super saiyan against them

I want to know why everyone is certain that somehow this means everything that was good about Deko is definitely going to disappear and there’s no way it gets picked up sup by any other maintainer or foundation. The cynicism is so exhausting and bewildering

lately i've been seeing so many platforms removing API access to their data specifically to deter AI from scraping them (see reddit and riot games' league of legends replay system), which overall just makes the internet more closed than ever, something that is inherently against the point of the net

One of the interesting things I’m curious to learn as we move forward is whether abusive behavior towards LLMs that was not present previously in a person actually predicts their behavior towards other humans.
