With the arrival of #Bluesky back in 2023, it started a conversation about how much control we should be giving social media companies over our data and our lives. The social media website started as a project within #Twitter with the goal of making "Protocols, not platforms" back in 2019 before spinning off into its own company. Despite efforts to #decentralize the platform, there are still core weaknesses within the #atprotocol that have not been addressed in the three years since the invite-only release.

@_elena It shows how "decentralised" the #atprotocol network is. Most services seem to rely on the main #bluesky relay which can cut them off at a moments notice!

3/3 Participants will take part in talks, workshops, and hands-on collaboration exploring what a more resilient, open, and decentralised web could look like in practice.

DWeb Camp is a space for building, not just talking about, the web we want.

Looking for something that probably doesn't exist yet, but maybe someone here knows better.

I self-host both a Mastodon instance and a Bluesky PDS and I'd love to actually connect the two rather than just run them in parallel. Not a cross-poster. I mean real bridging: cross-protocol replies, likes, timelines, notifications, where an interaction on one side actually shows up as a native interaction on the other.

Is there anything out there that gets close to this for a self-hosted setup? I know Bridgy Fed exists, but from what I can tell it doesn't cover the full interaction surface and isn't really designed around self-hosted PDS + self-hosted Mastodon as the starting point.

Happy to hear about anything, experimental, WIP, half-broken. Just curious what the landscape looks like right now.

Boosts appreciated 🙏

A good explainer for anyone who is curious about the #ATProtocol, #Bluesky, and associated apps (like this one). It’s the web, but for #SocialMedia! #Atmosphere

Que la @EUCommission lideri amb l'exemple:

La hauria d'exigir que qualsevol plataforma "europea" que rebi fons públics sigui interoperable via #ActivityPub. Ara mateix "W" sona més a "startup amb funding i bones intencions" que a "solució europea real". Si vols una alternativa a #X, la primera pedra ha de ser obrir les portes al #Fedivers, no crear un altre jardí tancat amb gespa europea.

It took just a month for @[email protected] to put together a fully functional #Bluesky clone. This is now open to any company or individual who wants to create their own #SocialMedia app, with full interoperability via the #ATProtocol.

Update. You can only edit your posts in the first five minutes after posting. This is a limit of the #ATProtocol. Just learned that or I would have mentioned it above. Five mins is better than nothing, but not as good as #Mastodon. #ActivityPub, #Fediverse

Yes, there are lots of alternatives out there—I’ve tried many of them. But #Bluesky and the #ATProtocol hide the complexity where it belongs: behind the scenes, delivering a unified user experience regardless of where your data is stored. Like email or the web, ATP handles the heavy lifting for you.

*even posts posted on bsky.app, and the edits show up everywhere. (The #ATProtocol has always supported editing. It’s just Bluesky’s app that doesn’t allow it!)

For the Dutch readers: huge article in yesterday's @[email protected] by @[email protected] about #ATprotocol & #ActivityPub and which one the NRC newspaper should choose. Including interviews with familiar faces such as @[email protected]. Great to have a big introductory piece to bring ppl along.

Hey y'all, Eurosky just launched Mu.Social.
It's a microblogging app using ATProto but it's not Bluesky and is completely independent (as far I understand) from it...

How awesome is that?

Question :
Are there any publicly-accessible, federated Bluesky PDS instances currently accepting user sign-ups?
Looking for alternatives to bsky.social operated by individuals or organizations committed to decentralization⁉️

I want to join Bluesky but avoid the main bsky.social server to support decentralization.
Does anyone know of public PDS instances (like blue-ocean.social) currently accepting registrations?

Boosts appreciated if you know of any! 🙏

@Tijn Ja, dat denk ik nu ook. Ik heb me er nog niet eerder in verdiept, omdat het vanuit Twitter ontstaan is. Gisteren werd echter ook het #ATProtocol genoemd in de strijd tegen big tech, dus vandaar nu de afweging.
Het AT protocol is dan meer het ecosysteem dan Bluesky zelf.

Two question to people that host something that is independent of bluesky but is using the atprotocol:

1st: Why? As in what exactly makes it the preferred choice compared to other things like e.g. ActivityPub

2nd: What is it that you're doing? Kinda want to know about your projects.

Negativ:

- technokratischer Top-Down-Ansatz, VC Vibes

- will dezentrale Alternativen ("die nicht mit Leadern reden") gerne überholen

- liberal bis neoliberal bis elitär (s. Board Members)

- zentralisiert und auf schnelle Skalierung fokussiert

- Dialog bis zur Schmerzgrenze (auch rechtsradikale Akteur*innen erst mal willkommen)
