Changing your phone provider = changing your atmosphere provider → keep your phone number = keep your identity (username) Changing your phone = changing what app you use* → keep your contacts & photos = keep your followers, following, posts, etc. You can change providers without changing phones.

You don't have a "Bluesky account". lou.gg/blog/you-don...

wish me luck memorizing a three minute talk tomorrow cuz i cant have notes lmao

Online counterpublics are a huge part of the lived experience of being queer, but what does it actually mean? #onlinecounterpublics #digitalcommunities #trans #queer #nonbinary #phdstudent #fyp #queerbsky 1/13🧵TL;DR vid ⬇️

@blackskyweb.xyz @transrights.northsky.social @eurosky.social / @mu.social @anisota.net @gandersocial.ca → you’re building for communities and people that might be put off by Bluesky. Don’t let them fall to the wayside.

... and second, join us on *our next open call* on Monday, October 26th, at 9am west coast time, to talk about the feeds, how to help the atmosphere make sense of the night, and how curator-driven feeds can improve social experiences in breaking news events:

truly impressive data visualization here, i can clearly read everything no problem! \s anyway i should finish and publish tangled.org/byarielm.fyi... so people can maybe one day make usable graphs

It’s Monday, do you know someone who wishes they could edit their posts and have a companion cat, dog, or even a pixelated fox? Tell them to join @mu.social. Keep you Bluesky account, all your posts, feeds and followers. Keep the Bluesky app too if you want!

it's been 10 minutes and i'm already tired of Being Sick* And Quarentined *an assumption right now, possible symptoms are mild enough it might just be Chronic Girl With Unknown Problems issues.

it’s because i have no patience and i like to click buttons chaotically 🫡 story time: once the labview dev at my job had to add full on disable-button-clicking to the program bc i’d crash it trying to use it before it was fully loaded.

good morning i’m here to solve all bsky’s problems. tldr: 1. help existing users find new users to converse with and vice versa 2. make creating and finding feeds, lists, and starter packs easier 3. get someone who wants to rebuild trust re: moderation & AI for comms cuz yikes 4. deal w the spam

Looking for an artist willing to work with me for seasonal DiS merch line! I believe all artists should be paid but very limited budget because it's just me as a grad student 🙈 Message if interested! 💜

At the end of #IOSP2026 we did a round of "what are you excited for?" It was great to hear one of the participants say "my new @aster.id !" Let's do this!!

This call for proposals includes #ATScience presentations! If you’re not sure if you should be in one of the main tracks or the science one, select the “Other / unknown” when submitting.

going from amsterdam airport to jfk is like going back 20 years in time 🤡

Already starting to work on the 2027 edition of @atproto.science , this time in collaboration with @scios.tech , it's gonna be epic! In Leiden w/ @tgoerke.bsky.social @gui.do @wesleyfinck.org @byarielm.fyi @salteelee.aster.id and friends

🗳 midterms.graze.social is @graze.social's most ambitious project to date. And as of today, it's live. Let's take a look at what the next 27 days will look like 🧵

A little more about the 2027 #DisabledInSTEM Mentorship Program and who can participate! Whether you’re looking for mentorship or hoping to support disabled people in STEM, there’s a place for you in our community. Applications are open through Dec. 11!

brb asking my agent if any of this is relevant to math bio applied math is a different beast so,

looking forward to another ten years of fab food family and zefrank videos with my fav person ☺️

yessssssssss. this is going to make my lexicon research forays so much easier

sometimes i draw

it was @graze.social and i come bearing proof for all to witness

A very important follow up on our announcement. Please share your thoughts in the comments of the post or the blog itself! We'll be exploring this in our workshop at IOSP 2026 too. 🧪

If you’ve seen me trying not to reveal what I’ve been working on the last few months, well, here it is 🎉 Our first big offering - aside from Atmosphere account hosting - is personal websites for researchers! Drop your must-haves, preferences, ideas, or questions about personal/prof sites below 🧪🧬💻

Really excited for the future of science and research, bringing open science to more people via the open web. 🧪

Thrilled that Aster.id has launched, and very happy for the Modal Foundation to be supporting in an incubation role. modalfoundation.leaflet.pub/3mwqgvxl5a22a

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT please fix your markdown files, i should be able to read and edit them in plain text not just when rendered <3

Starting my PhD / applying to it even a year later would have completely changed it. Disability makes participating in science harder - physical, mentally, financially, socially - but we need their unique insights to make meaningful change.

walked into the kitchen and saw this, so yeah. he about to make some Ras el Hanut. yes i live at spice world.

this is absolutely bananas (cool, good, wow, wow)

I've been experimenting with this for my only pics and only text feeds, which are two of my favorites! Will share when they're ready 😇

With credit to @wesleyfinck.org and the @semble.so team, a new favorite lea.ac feature: content discovery!

feel like some devs in the #atproto space might be interested, though the work here isn't atproto (yet 🫡)

"Do you want a login code emailed or to use your password?" I want to use my password "Okay enter your password" <enters it> "Thanks, now go check your email for a code we sent you" WHY ASK ME THEN WHY CAN'T I JUST USE PASSWORDS FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING ANYMORE

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/byarielm.fyi making a conference feed that's more than a hashtag
