A great write up by @rudyfraser.com suggesting community accounts as a core #ATProto component, powering moderation, verification, and badges

Thinking about internet protocols like #activitypub or #atproto as just "social media", namely platforms for sharing cat images, influencers and followers, shitposting and memes, trolls and flamewars etc. is missing the point entirely.
These are merely emergent behaviors when people interact with primitive forms of "digital society".
In truth these are "societal media", they increasingly capture a good fraction of human reality. The masters of #surveillancecapitalism know this all too well.
After 4 hours of testing and "programming", i was finally able to make a Bluesky post thru the terminal, with a clickable link and a discoverable hashtag.

I spent 99% of that 4 hours trying with Typescript. 1% with Python.
It's clear that I am not and will never be a programmer lol
Beyond Bluesky: These are the apps building social experiences on the AT Protocol. #ATproto

not sure what it means by “Record not validated” (especially as I can view the video in the app), but cool that my first video on Spark is on a separate lexicon!
They did it right (imo) in that they have their own lexicon, but also use Bluesky’s just to show content!
The ATProTO meetup on April 14th conflicts with Tech Pizza Monday, so we will try to hijack it. Just kidding! Or are we? Either way, the details are in the Luma link. #ATProtocol #Toronto #ATProTO https://lu.ma/7u2zjfeu
#atproto devs! Over last weekend there was a lot of questions about best practices with Lexicon
There's plenty more documentation to be written, but I thought I'd share some initial guidance to help clarify how I think about it

Thank you to Tori @buildwithtori.com for being a positive voice and covering things with video.
While Bluesky is microblogging first, video is a great way to educate and express emotion and excitement, that can help us explain #ATproto to many more people.

Rashid Aziz @raz.lol presents his work on Basic @basic.tech - Protocol Composition: extending #atproto for private data
This is an example of how we can start experimenting with private data today, and learn from it as we see what the approach for private data will be in-protocol.

I was blown away by @blaine's talk - Network Punk: Welcome to the Jungle
One of a number of take-aways from #ATmosphereConf —
The Bluesky team had a whole session (IndieSky) set up so that others could set up their own parallel Bluesky infrastructure.
The Bluesky team even wanted to make it less expensive for people to do it.
BUT — most the people in the room didn't seem interested in that per se.
Most the people in the room wanted their own ATProto infrastructure for their own applications / platforms built on ATProto.
This is inspired by the Cambria work that @inkandswitch.com has done www.inkandswitch.com/cambria/
The #atproto tools for structured data with Lexicons are very powerful, but with lenses we can make them even more powerful and embrace the messiness and reality of human systems - the jungle

Had a great conversation with @mike on the history of the hashtag, why Elon is wrong about it, the future of social networks (vis a vis #ActivityPub, #ATProto, etc), and how LLMs may intersect with social media moderation.
This was a good one.
