  1. Always hated that I could never answer the question "Well how many accounts has pdsmoover.com migrated?" for my #atproto accoun migration tool. My guess is probably north of 5k at this point, maybe more, maybe less. But after last weeks release I can say it has migrated 34 accounts in the last 7 days.

    In addition it is also backing up 3,447 different identities so if their PDS ever goes away or turns evil users can create a new account with all their posts, pictures, likes, and followers/followings just like nothing ever happenedaccount.

  3. @aral @_elena @EUCommission I wonder if the shareholders were aware that #WSocial have not bothered to implement the entire #ATProto stack, incl. "labeling" (aka the moderation layer)? If you only self-host your PDS, of course you'll remain by default under the jurisdiction of bsky moderators. #Blacksky for eg. have already implemented their own "labeling", so W has no excuse.

  5. Oh, look! Another thrilling #newsletter #subscription pitch disguised as an article about a protocol nobody's heard of 🤦‍♂️. Watch as our hero bemoans the shocking development of #ATProto while secretly hoping someone cares enough to ask him about it at a #conference in #Berlin 🤷‍♂️. Spoiler alert: #AI #coding is still a thing. 🙄

  7. i think i'm finally going to look into #ATproto. at the time it came out t felt more like a marketing stunt to promote BlueSky especially since they didn't even bother to open source their server software.

    but it seems like people are starting building on it and from what little i've seen it looks kinda interesting?

  8. 3/ Credit attribution - a cornerstone of @[email protected] , @[email protected] and our work at @[email protected]. Do we really need blockchain for it or are other decentralized networks like #atproto or Nanopublications enough?

  9. also how did #Tangled achieve this so quickly on #ATProto? Is it a matter of funding people to work on it full-time? Or is it a matter of one protocol making it easier to achieve than another?

  14. I met Luke @[email protected] at @[email protected] & answered some atproto questions at the beer garden. He wrote Building on atproto with a lot of questions about permissioned data and how this meshes with local first.

  15. As of today, my personal domain, norbertwoehnl.com, is pointing to my Leaflet.pub site.

    I am leaving Content Management Systems like WordPres and Kirby behind, and re-orienting my photography content towards ATmospheric publishing. The article linked below is a short write-up of how I arrived at this decision.

  17. instead of waiting to finish writing i'm just going to ... post the blog???

    truthfully do not see how i'll ever publish blogs if i have to finish them in one go. follow along to see how i #atproto-fy this thing later ;)

  18. I have made an atproto powered journal editor on my website. I can login with my @bmann.ca or @bmannconsulting.com accounts, and then have a very simple editor for making Bluesky-length microblog posts, with an optional link field.

  19. Last week at Local First Conf, it seems like everyone was talking about ATProto. I really want to build on it, but I'm not sure I'll be able to. I wrote up what and how and why not:

    lukekanies.com/writing/buildin

    (ActivityPub was never an option, because it's even less local-first, and the HOA mentality makes it impossible to build applications on.)

  24. RE: hachyderm.io/@baileytownsend/1

    I want to follow this up with an AMAA (ask me anything !)
    I've done a few of these on and thought it might be fun to do one here! I don't believe in dumb questions, so please ask me any you may have! Happy to answer anything, or at least hopefully point you in the right direction! Feel free to reply your questions to this post.

    Also feel free to even ask me stuff like "Is atproto really ", "Aren't relays/PDS expensive?", "What do migrations look like there?", etc. Nothing is off the table, and I'd be glad to answer anything! Good chance I will have questions in the future about and that I will be asking!

  28. @katzenmann Hey! Been checking out today, but I come from land. Relays have gotten pretty cheap to run now, thankfully. They used to keep a mirror of the whole network, but now only keep a couple of days. Can squeeze by with less than $40 on them nowadays, or even cheaper.
    whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lo7a2.

    We also have a bunch of community ran ones, a few listed at this beautiful URL lol compare.hose.cam.

    Relay's also don't directly do feed aggregation, but they do feed the feed with the posts. But that can also be swapped out between relay's or even something called JetStream, which is a diet relay. Feeds listen to this firehose and filter out posts on how it wants, like which content it wants to show. For instance, here's a feed URL for posts about cornbread lol
    api.graze.social/xrpc/app.bsky

    The feed just returns the at-uri's which can be used to hydrate the feed from getting posts from an AppView or connecting directly to the user's PDSs

  37. I have acquired opinions on #ActivityPub vs #ATProto in strong favor of ActivityPub.

    Basically for ATProto to work you need one big entity (called the relay) to sift through all updates published on all servers and provide that to users as their feed. It also provides search and so on.

    Nobody wants to run these relays since they're really resource-heavy and you don't get any money for running them so if you are a relay operator you can censor all you like because it's not like your users can leave.

    ActivityPub doesn't have this problem because it has instances which do the feed aggregation. Relays are just one big point of failure for ATProto and thus ATmosphere is not really decentralized.
