"This blog is about celebrating that friendship" with open source developers. That was our first post in Feb 2008. Today, all 1,557 posts (2008–2026) live in the Atmosphere as verified @standard.site records: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2008/02/welcome-to-google-open-source-blog.html

🪐 spaces alpha release 🪐 folks, this is the big one! lots of updates across pretty core protocol mechanisms. hopefully the last/only of it's kind (tho we are planning another release next Thurs)

Ozone release v0.1.106 is out with the same runtime mitigation github.com/bluesky-soci... if you have watchtower enabled, it will auto update midnight UTC otherwise run `docker compose -f /ozone/compose.yaml --profile daemon up -d --pull always ozone ozone-daemo`

The eMudhra intermediate CA compromise broadly impacts the atproto ecosystem. At this point lots of software has been patched, and we recommend upgrading if you run a distribution of the relay, pds, jetstream, or use the goat CLI. For general information see the site linked below, otherwise read on.

Atmosphere update: atproto apps are growing 20% month over month, and last week we passed 1,000 daily active apps.

many of yall already know how much jim rules. if only you saw all the super impactful work he did behind the scenes at bsky too. it goes deep. learned a bunch from jim and so, so glad to have been able to spend so many days together hackin it up! 💙

@toni.bsky.team built a $10b business at @automattic.com where 90% of it flows into the ecosystem. Let’s stop talking about how to divide up the pennies left on the table for creators and builders in walled gardens. The time is now for creators & builders to build and they should take home the $$

@thisismissem.social continuing to connect the dots for us all on bringing decentralized login to the web! these updates are hugely useful to see the big picture, with so many individuals and ecosystems in the mix.

it's that day of the week where we ship the latest changes to the atproto spaces alpha! if you're interested in building against atproto spaces while it's in alpha, right this way: atproto.com/blog/atproto...

I'm excited to announce that the PLC Organization now has a statute! And a bank account! And a @standard.site publication! All the important stuff. The PLC Org is an independent Swiss Association meant to operate the PLC directory, which collects and distributes signed updates to atproto accounts.

we've been doing some early building with atmospheric groups, and all i can say so far is that this is something completely new and exciting. everyone who has been involved should be proud. the future of the web might just rule

there are currently 2,891,241,622 bluesky posts in the network what's a cool $14.5M to export between friends

on thursdays we drop the latest/greatest updates to the spec on the atproto spaces alpha host. first round of updates are now live! if you're interested in building against atproto spaces while it's in alpha, you can read more and get access here: atproto.com/blog/atproto...

We're pleased to announced that @atmosphereconf.org organizing is underway! We hope you'll join us in Europe, in late April 2027! In the meantime, you can subscribe to get updates and read about our initial organizing team.

made a post in the atmosphere developer forum about timelines for rolling out spaces (aka permissioned data) and community groups to the full network. tl;dr: a couple more months of iteration and prep, then major PDS operators could coordinate to go "general availability" around mid-November

Hello, world. Bluesky Protocol Services has a blog now. bsky.network/blog/welcome

preeetttty cool seeing what atmospheric login in the browser might look like 👀👀👀 super grateful that @sgo.to from the chrome team is digging into this, helping us rapidly get to the heart of the UX and technical questions to sort through. feels like it's already really taking shape!

atproto will continue to find all sorts of different use across the 'net. but at the end of the day the protocol is designed for connecting people.

Nitter gets a cease & desist from X while atproto, activitypub, and the open social web community makes the Internet more open.

PDSls now supports the Spaces alpha for non-public data! read-only, highly experimental, expect breaking changes

the atproto space race has officially begun

p̶e̶r̶m̶i̶s̶s̶i̶o̶n̶e̶d̶ ̶d̶a̶t̶a̶ atproto spaces

Ask me things!

new PDS UI refresh is out, excited to help move it forward!

fun new little websocket client published under @atproto/ws-client. works in the browser or server-side. designed for long-lived connections and reconnects. care taken with flow control and backpressure. because, you know... atproto go wsssshh. tangled.org/strings/did:...

For the latest Off Protocol conversation, @jimray.bsky.team had a delightfully wide-ranging talk with @kissane.myatproto.social about so many things and ultimately a desire to make better mistakes atproto.com/off-protocol...

new data diary! (and i think final in the main series) this gets into the permissioned repository itself. how it's structured, signed & synced. give it a read & as always, lmk your thoughts!

👋🏾 I have joined @bsky.app as VP of Engineering! I’ve been admiring this team’s work for years, and I’m thrilled to be joining them to build the future of the open social web.

@why.bsky.world dove in ahead of us to some of the hairiest problems making atproto real, functional in practice. and then once we solved problems together made sure we didn't hesitate to push the button, to move forward and do hard things. thanks buddy!!

brilliant news for bluesky and for the atmosphere!

reminder that IETF 126 is coming up in a few weeks! the atp working group is scheduled for July 23 at 4:30pm CET we want this to be a good one! so if you're interested in the standardization of the protocol, make sure you sign up & participate a few notes in thread:

just in the nick of time! github.com/bluesky-soci...

hey so, @roomy.space is now generally available for real-world use! 🥳 make atmospheric group spaces for friends & community, chat in real-time, progressively structure emergent topics into evergreen threads and cultivate enduring knowledge.

i want to spread the word about atproto. if you’re running a podcast, i’d be happy to hop in to talk about it. i understand it decently well and can explain it without much jargon. it’s one of the most interesting developments in the last 30 years of web, and i can defend that. please dm to set up!

as a little pre-show surprise, here's an early draft of the permissioned data proposal! github.com/bluesky-soci...

summer of standard site yall!!

Would you look at that. We’ve partnered with @leaflet.pub, @pckt.blog , and @offprint.app to bring you a Summer of @standard.site. Sign up for any annual paid plan, get 25% off bsky.social/about/blog/0...

"but where are all the bluesky instances?" i've heard this so many times that i wrote an explainer

i have a feeling this is going to get some use...

For our next Off Protocol Live, we're doing a permissioned data AMA with @dholms.at. Reply to this thread with your questions and tune into the livestream for more.

I started writing one thing and got off on this tangent so now I guess there are two things? anyways atproto feels special in a way I tried to put into words
