And one further point on this: the reason I think Bluesky and the underlying ATprotocol are actually so important is that they are fundamentally set up to allow people to create their own communities and their own culture, without demanding that a company decide it for them.

@qxip.bsky.social Soundcloud on atproto sounds dope! I hope the dev community will continue where you left off with github.com/lmangani/sou... Seems like the sort of thing that would work well (likely cheaper; definitely more robustly) with dweb magic like @storacha.network and/or @iroh.computer 🪄

OAuth updates for app devs! Over the past few weeks we've been chatting with devs and doing a pass over our SDKs and docs to address issues. This blog post summarizes the main changes we've made, some tweaks still in flight, and links to longer form writing about security and design trade-offs

"If your decentralised protocol is missing features, the market will add them with centralisation." — @goat.navy This: - is why why the web was captured; - is why email became concentrated; - is why ActivityPub, as defined today, isn't capture-resistant.

Two types of OAuth client are supported by atproto: "public" and "confidential" This new article digs in to the security trade-offs and safety mechanisms at play, and how they impact different app architectures: TMBs, BFFs, SPAs, etc

I've been collaborating on Dialog: a new kind of database that I plan to make use of in #Familiar. At Local-First Conference I gave a hallway track demo of how users of the database may query over partial replicas (even empty replicas). Here is a screen cast of the demo: youtu.be/0a_Nb2CAoJc?...

@smokesignal.events I’d love to be able to set up date-less events for the purpose of collecting Interested signups until we reach the threshold for making more concrete plans. For example “let’s do an atproto meet up in Oslo! Who’s in?; time and place will be decided once we’ve got >10 signups.”

I’m excited to finally share a project I’ve been working on for several months… I’ve published a long-form guide for how companies, communities, and creators can use Bluesky to grow their brands — you can check it out on @atpota.to. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid start that I’ll keep updated!

I'm not using genAI for anything yet, but I will once it can co-create a programming language together with me. For me it'd have to be one level further simplified than regular ‘computer languages’ as I’ve no interest in computer coding, only systems programming. A new grammar tailored to me.

To be explicit — yes we're building an open atproto substack alternative! Current status: you can make publications on Leaflet, w/ data on atproto. People can subscribe via atproto + Bluesky feed. You can set custom domains! WIP: subscribing by email, likes, sharing quotes, theming…and more :)

This thread got me thinking.🤔 1️⃣ Every ATProto user has a public key. 2️⃣ Every ATProto user has a domain name, which means it can have MX records to route email. Someone (@bsky.app) could build an ATProto-aware client with smarts to encrypt/sign emails sent to users with ATProto enabled email.💡🔐📧

Imagine being active on Twitter, the site that is a festering cesspool of racism, far-right ideology, misogyny, etc. & where opinions running counter to the owner are deboosted, and arguing that Bluesky is super toxic because some leftists get feisty. Really demonstrates how Twitter cooks your brain

would be great if a riseup.net style org ran an atproto PDS with relatively open signup. gives a lot of additional privacy protections to end users.
