Hot take: You should build social apps so people can be social, not so you can eventually trap people in a room they no longer want to be in

You don't have a "Bluesky account". lou.gg/blog/you-don...

is there any infra out there that provides *real* bsky follower counts? bsky doesn't decrement and while @microcosm.blue does, i believe it's not fully backfilled yet.

I got to talk to @wailinwong.bsky.social just a little bit about Dead Internet business. Boo! 👻 www.npr.org/2026/10/26/n...

"This blog is about celebrating that friendship" with open source developers. That was our first post in Feb 2008. Today, all 1,557 posts (2008–2026) live in the Atmosphere as verified @standard.site records: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2008/02/welcome-to-google-open-source-blog.html

Since 2004, this community has helped make Firefox and the open internet possible. Our “Come Back to Firefox” campaign reunites a few early internet icons to remind people what made the internet special, and why it’s worth protecting.

"My people are spread across multiple services" - @marcoarment.bsky.social As I said in The Last Network Effect: "The endgame is not Mastodon, Bluesky, or Threads. The endgame is finding communities on the web and following them all on the best platform for you." People, not platforms.

Spent too much time creating the preview image for: foryou.club/atmosphere I pulled the current profile pics of the Bluesky accounts for each of the apps that the cross-lexicon For You feed shows. Not sure what's the deal with @pckt.blog Can you spot an Easter egg?

Agreed. We need to build apps that corporate spots cannot replicate instead of taking development cues from them. Making people choose this over that is just re-creating the same issues we've had for the last two decades. We shouldn't be building today's apps by yesterdays myopic paradigms.

LOVE this. The ecosystem keeps growing … I think 2027 will be a very exciting year for AT Proto and everyone who cares about an open internet.

mad at the big platforms? really want to decentralize and own your data across all your social media? pay attention to this in the next couple months and put your internet time where your beliefs are, and make the atmosphere flourish i’m so excited!!!!

If you want to try something like t3.codes but not have to put up with @t3.gg check out sesh.codes!

Labours of love are the future of development.

some folks reported not being able to use certain adult-focused platforms (like onlyfans and fansly) — there was an internal miscommunication and these were accidentally added to the list of disallowed domains. this is now fixed! but you may need to refresh your app to get the update. 💙

You can now use @skyreader.app in other clients that support the FreshRSS API like NetNewsWire, Reeder, etc! Works for RSS, newsletters, and @standard.site publications. Subs, read status, and saves all stay in sync. See the docs for getting it set up: docs.skyreader.app/guide/other-...
