Do you, too, want the internet to be better — and have some ideas for making it happen together? Great post *and* a great example of our new "replies" block in @leaflet.pub! Reply with your own blog post (Leaflet or any @standard.site post) to extend the conversation in the atmo/blogosphere!

some folks reported not being able to use certain adult-focused platforms (like onlyfans and fansly) — there was an internal miscommunication and these were accidentally added to the list of disallowed domains. this is now fixed! but you may need to refresh your app to get the update. 💙

What @freemix.fm is doing is so ambitious, well executed from the jump, and just so freaking *cool*. They created an entire music platform with a built-in sharing and licensing system, all on atproto. You gotta see it.

Atproto enjoyers: if I wanted an online multiplayer game to use atproto in some way, what might it look like? The most obvious/basic idea is login with atproto/bsky. What else might I consider? Ideally if scores are stored (for a leader board or something) they are tamper proof

Come chat with the protocol team at Bluesky about what's working, what's not working, what you think can be improved, and what you're building!

@schuyler.info

This is what I’m saying: AT Protocol isn’t a product feature. It’s a path for developers to promise credibly not to screw over their users.

Jason Lengstorf@jason.energy

I was thinking about atproto more and had a thought: no one needs to know or care about the protocol. we just need to normalize the idea that it’s bonkers to allow any company to own part of your identity it’s like how you used to lose your phone number if you switched carriers. that sucked

Jim Ray
@jimray.bsky.team

That's right.

we don’t need to explain atproto. we need to move the Overton Window to get people asking why it’s considered normal that a company can unilaterally control (and destroy) part of our identity and we just… let them

I love this new feature we built for Roundabout. Our community members needed a way to message each-other with personal information, but no-one needed a new way for someone to slide into their DMs, or a new inbox to check.

GM. It’s not that atproto is illegible to devs or even civilians but inscrutable via the systems of power that have taken over the internet. The sin of social media wasn’t technical but aligning with the desires of established power and ours is the long hard work of breaking that alignment.

Spaces are, of course, being designed on top of atproto spaces. Give these early explorations a look, think of them as a starting point for Atmospheric communities that could begin in the app, then integrate atproto apps to build completely custom experiences for the people you care about.

alex benzer@alexbenzer.com

we have an idea for communities in the app that we're calling "spaces" — places where people can gather around shared interests or social groups. here's a peek at some early prototypes. these are explorations, not polished or final. looking for feedback, esp from community builders 👀
