Congrats to your whole family on making it through such an ordeal 💜

I have a one month old, and just dealing with the every day stuff at home is tough enough, even with a great partner! You both must be absolute rockstars to manage all that and to do it for 2 babies at once 💪🏻👏🏻😮

🧑🏼‍🍳💋🤌🏻

👏 thank you!!

Nvm, working now!

Is #atmosphereconf stream 3 working for any other remote attendees right now? I can see stream 1, but 2 and 3 just have the conf logo

Most surprising thing about having a baby so far: the pediatrician will straight up grab your boob and start milking you like a cow 😆

I got my remote ticket to AtmosphereConf! With a newborn in the house, I’ll only be able to listen in on one or two talks this weekend, but I’m trying to keep up with so many of the interesting things happening around ATproto. I hope the recordings get posted soon so I can watch more in a few weeks!

It’s been a tough week, but seeing this verdict that confirms what we all know about big social harms is a small bright spot. Kudos to the folks who have been working tirelessly for years to bring the strongest cases possible 💪🏻

Yeah, that is definitely a problem that will impact trust. The pitch almost has to be conversational. Then when they bring up that point, that’s a good place to introduce
taking your data - including your audience/followers graph - with you if the platform you’re using starts to suck.

I think “own your audience” is a great sell. I don’t claim to know what the new platforms should do for monetization, but they can entice creators by the promise that their audience can’t be captured by the platform and slowly siphoned away by algorithms showing their content less and less.

At first I thought I had just accidentally caught the person finishing using the toilet on the back of their camper, until it happened again in the exact same place 😂

Did you get mooned? I always get mooned by a cheeky (😂 pun intended) surfer at least once along that route

Android users: do you install apps from alternate app stores?

I last had an android as my main driver in 2013 and used to run a jail broken OS, but have no idea how common installing non play store apps is these days

Why are links to @bsky.app posts not publicly visible?

I tried sending a video to my partner who does not have an account, and he couldn’t see it because it was locked behind a login screen.

I thought the entire point of this was that everything is public?

Even X shows a tweet to logged out users

Permissioned Data Diary 2: Buckets The second in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We introduce buckets: a new protocol primitive for creating a shared social context.

new blog post on permissioned data in atproto! this one introduces "buckets", the protocol-level primitive for shared access control. I walk through two approaches that don't quite work and land on something that I think does

let me know your thoughts!

The bucket approach makes sense. Love the way you’ve laid this out. The questions at the end are super critical for how smoothly this works - looking forward to part 3.

I’ve been involved in the AP version of figuring out how threads work in this context, and there’s plenty of trade offs as you say

I unsubscribe from any I don’t read, but I do actually read the few I keep a subscription to about 70% of the time

Speaking of... I’m so delighted to see apps like @terry.social.godier.me.ap.brid.gy ’s Currents being created! The calm, intentional design is so well thought out and so well done 🙌🏻

Currents is just for RSS, tho. I would *love* to see these design patterns be incorporated into other social feeds.

Where Does Community Live? ActivityPub and ATProto both promise to rebuild social life online, but they answer the question of where community actually forms in fundamentally different ways. Protocol design is institutional des...

doh! *our

when is that edit button coming bluesky?

But it is exciting to see some things similar to ideas I doodled in my notebook way back in 2018/2019 show up in real life and done by a designer with top notch skills! 😍

Since @frequency.app is built for personal connections rather than news outlets or voices you follow, some of Currents’ nice design elements wouldn’t fit or use case exactly.

I’ve been trying to put similar intentions into my calm mode design for @frequency.app, but given that design is definitely my weakest skill, I’m still iterating a lot on it. I’ve been better at articulating the problem than creating the solutions I’m seeking 😅

Phantom Obligation Why RSS readers look like email clients, and what that's doing to us.

As is the preceding blog post where Terry lays out why the current inbox-style design for feeds makes us feel so bad by creating “phantom obligation” to finish everything in the feed: www.terrygodier.com/phantom-obli...

Current An RSS reader that doesn't count. What happens when you stop treating your feeds like an inbox and start treating them like a river.

The blog post explaining each of the design elements, the reasoning behind the design, and why certain design patterns weren’t included is fantastic ✨

😋 looks amazing! Happy Lunar New Year!

Oh cool, me too! I had not seen this
