ATProto is headed to MozFest! Will we see you there? Check out our co-founder @tessa.germnetwork.com on a panel with @rude1.blacksky.team of Blacksky, @kandake.africa of Eskahlay and Northsky, and @offline.arushibandi.com of Habitat — moderated by the one and only @anildash.com

My dad today: "i listened to the whole transcript how they hacked HuggyFace!!!"

Ok but why?

I’m so patriotic for my nation, the city of Pittsburgh

Fun little Wednesday post!

zeitgeist TONITE!

Did you miss us last week? Well, we have an exciting one to make up for it :)

This week we built comments into our document editor to show off what can be done with fine-grained permissioning on spaces! Check it out here: https://chalk.habitat.network

what is the plural of PDS? PDSs, PDSes, or PDS's?

week 5! happy september folks 🍂

okay folks ... the post you've been waiting for .... the next atproto sf meetup!!! rsvp so we can get this event featured on the sf tech week track and bring more people into this :) partiful.com/e/rOlLWCjeCK...

It's that time of the week again! Today, we're sharing Chalk, a document editor that shows how apps that need fine-grained permissioning can be built on spaces. Chalk is built on our last three releases!

I'll be speaking about @habitat.network at the next DWeb Virtual Meetup on Thursday! Come through :)

FOMO

idk why i chose to make friday the most stressful day of my week but 🫠 as they say abl

Saving this cheatsheet, thank you @ngerakines.me for compiling!

We're building up to a stable release of our platform end of year; first of many Friday posts to come!

Any DWeb / local-first folks still in Berlin: would love to see you at the Community Privacy Residency Meetup today! gath.io/VqLzKaPOHPkm...

everything is a nail and atproto is my hammer

was gonna give a chill little tech talk at local first conf ... but now i'm feeling pRovOcAtivE

thank you M.I.A. but we did it first studioforcreativeinquiry.org/project/obfu... (lol)

We've spent the last couple weeks deep diving on the permissioned spaces proposal and what it means for Habitat's use case! We plan to release a formalized spec on what we're building soon, but in the mean time appreciate any thoughts on our design.

We're thrilled to announce our next speaker batch for Local-First Conf 2026.

we back on leaflet 🍃

hi! i'm looking for projects in the ATmosphere whose users are people in *organizations*. if that sounds like you or something you know about please reach out!

i feel this so hard. a realization i had about my career is that i'm basically trying to build towards a world where people build and use technology on their own terms, rather than get used by it. user data ownership is a starting point, but it extends far beyond that.

We've been using this internally, and slowly pushing updates! Our permission model is described here! habitat.network/habitat/api/...

picking a jacket to wear in SF is like

y'all will never believe the buddy i got ..... 🪿 IT'S A SIGN!!!!

my favorite thing about #atmosphereconf is that it wasnt a technical conference. ppl were there to talk about humanity, not some tech stack watch @kissane.myatproto.social's "Landslide", or @offline.arushibandi.com's "Rewilding" talks to get a sense genuinely spiritual manifestos for a wounded web

i was nervous to give a "heartfelt" talk as @notplants.bsky.social called it, so i'm relieved and happy it resonated with people ❤️

just wow. thank you so much @bmann.ca @ngerakines.me @knowtheory.net @essentialrandom.bsky.social @lucca.northsky.team and everyone else who helped put on such an amazing conference! feeling inspired for what's next and grateful to be a part of this community.

Rewilding the social internet @offline.arushibandi.com #atmosphereconf

excited to write, no i mean give, this talk! is this a spicy take: local-first needs atproto <3

i blame Boris for this

This is your ONE chance to imagine the future!!!!

I am really looking forward to Arushi's @offline.arushibandi.com talk. As we were wrapping #AtmosphereConf 2025, she said thank you & a few other kind words on her way out the door. So I'm very pleased to see this talk, "in conversation with several of the talks from last year"

wow was trevor paglen's talk at the sf moma a trip. one message in particular that feels relevant to @habitat.network "the images are now staring back" control over our data means no spying, and no spying means we are all less susceptible to manipulation online. more important now than ever.

if there's anything I've realized over the last month, it's that there are no *technical reasons* we can't have the internet we want. slowly, but surely (leaflet by leaflet) we're building that. a calendar app that can't track you. even with its minimal interface, what a magical feeling 🌱
