devs! want to build something on #atproto but not sure where to start?

check out this "Call for Projects" with a bunch of ideas, ranging from protocol frameworks, to entire apps, to bots

Interested in revisiting setting up my own PDS again, does anyone have some updated resources they could give me? I work 60+ hours a week but i’d love to put in some work on it in my free time :)

A mushroom called Amethyst Deceiver, purple in color, on a forest floor covered with moss, leaves, and pine needles.

current app store ranks. bluesky is number one, then chat gpt, then "t-life" (?) then threads. lol.

i almost get tired of posting these myself, but its still all too funny to me tbh

the solution to atproto decentralization is to stop whining to bluesky pbc about how they need to decentralize and to instead start putting in the work of hosting alternative servers, owning your rotation keys, creating uis to make this easy for people, and host your own data

I should explain lol, Discord has new embeds for Bluesky that include pulling video mp4s from your PDS and fronting them with their own CDN. this is (a very narrow slice of) an AppView!

very protocol, very AT. we love to see it!

7. Bluesky's data servers are named after mushrooms! Some of them include morel, enoki, shiitake, puffball, oyster... 🍄

The atproto/Bluesky protocol is fully open and highly decentralized.

Just like the web was.

The current atproto/Bluesky network is fairly centralized because it’s so new there aren’t many network providers yet.

Just like the web was.

Bluesky is proof that cryptocurrency isn't a core tenant of decentralization. The team demonstrated extreme levels of pragmatism by leveraging new and existing technologies to produce something people actually use.

Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of power Bluesky is building a decentralised social network. But how does decentralisation lead to a better distribution of power?

everyone needs to give the servers some headpats. they pulled through today even while being real sad. can you drop a *headpats* in the replies so the servers know you love them?

Jay on Bluesky: We've been scaling up. There's been about a million people joining a day for the past week

microcomputers are like microplastics, we're putting them in everything and we still haven't figured out the long-term effects

Federation Architecture Overview Soon, we’re launching a sandbox environment for federation. In advance, we want to share some technical details about our design decisions.

It means Bluesky is now actually operating on the Federation Architecture model described in this blog post

This post is traversing

PDS -> BGS -> AppView

instead of the old path

PDS -> AppView

This took significant work by @why.bsky.team and @jaz.bsky.social with support from @divy.zone and @dholms.xyz

Big milestone in the v2 scaling effort because it enables multiple Bluesky PDS instances!

I would eat this everyday 🫠

Women weren't allowed to take out credit cards until 1974 and you could be barred from credit cards if you were gay in the 80s and 90s, so it's actually very feminist and pro-LGBT of me to have a maxed out credit card

Algorithmic choice isn't a silver bullet for avoiding "bad algorithms", though.

Whatever algorithms other people are choosing, on average, will shape which posts people get shown most, creating feedback loops. There's a meta-algorithm, effectively.

if it’s in a breadbowl I’ll do it, but it’s basically just dip at that point

People are always saying millennials killed the diamond industry but they’re not ready to hear about the value perception of diamonds that gen z has from minecraft. The industry will be fine! 🎮

oh no i dropped one of my binders full of women

did they have nacho fries 👀

If someone you know is struggling, if someone you know needs help, the last thing they need is a coward with a gun barking orders at them.

Cops aren't your friends.

Thank you. 34/x
