The disconnect I feel between the millions upon millions of dollars worth of value I see coming from dozens of people in and around thh atproto community vs the fact that it's practically all uncompensated volunteer work is beyond frustrating.
Bumping this again. This is *specifically* for a experienced full-stack web developer (not a consulting firm, not a graphic designer, not a AI bot cosplaying as any of the above; I got four of these emails already, thanks for adding to the blocklist).

I've reached out to a few folks!

Anyway, if you're looking for work as a full stack web dev, my team's hiring 👀

you can e-mail me (work plz, jacky.alcine@coforma.io) about it for deets
Very cool initiative. Open science can learn so much from open source about sustainability
Vlad-Stefan Harbuz @vlad.website
We just launched the Open Source Endowment, the first endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers, with $693,000 raised already.

The world depends on Open Source, but making our ecosystem sustainable is a complex task. I hope that, with community consultation, the Endowment can help 🙏
This was a really good read on Moderation Tooling Design, which I saw via the @roost.tools discord: vale.rocks/posts/modera...
atproto, ActivityPub, Nostr, whatever protocol comes next - tools. That's all they are. If the tool stops working, take it out of the toolbox. Simple as that.
If it's not obvious, I too am not an atproto absolutist. I'm not even a protocol absolutist.

I'm a "give people the agency to choose and then change their minds" absolutist.
Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team
I’m not an atproto absolutist. It gains and loses my trust daily as an ecosystem and a technology.

But it was promising, cheap and new in 2023. Took the risk to invest building here.
Has certainly paid off.

None of atproto’s “plurality of apps” have built on those foundations and custom feeds isn’t considered a part of the protocol which is disappointing.

my 3rd eye told me Farcaster, Nostr and Lens weren’t gonna make it.

Mastodon I learned about in 2022 via
@ntnsndr.in
Felt similarly
I come from the crypto/cypherpunk/web3 adjacent worlds. In 2023 I was 10 years in those ecosystems.

From those learnings I knew atproto had all the right uses of cryptography with none of the things people grew to hate.

A “marketplace of algorithms“ and “choice of moderator” were sea changes
Pedro Vezza @pedro.vza.net
Why did you decide to bet on atproto over Mastodon or similar?
Hot take: Closing your Bluesky account shouldn't delete your DID or PDS. It should clear out the Bluesky lexicon data, then facilitate migration to another PDS with some user education across the flow.

Lexicon embeds would help with education in flow. "Are you sure? Look at all the stuff you have."
@spritelyinst.bsky.social Y'alls social links on spritelyproject.org need to be updated. The mastodon link goes to a dead server, bluesky isn't present, and twitter is... a choice not to revisit without intention.
> The point of decentralization is to guarantee the rights of individuals and communities on the Internet.

> Once you introduce shared resources ... then you need to govern those resources. This is where pure p2p falls down; it has no answer for the governance of shared resources.

New blogpost about atproto

It's not federation, it's not a p2p mesh. It's a secret third thing: practical.

I'm going to be sharing this link out a lot. Probably a good idea to bookmark it. 🌟

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

Part of what's interesting about the influencer dynamic is the extent to which it also spurs action. Like this is interesting to me both cause this lady signed up and did the thing, but also the pattern of her documenting it in the same medium:

First thought: it's wild to see an influencer-native politician govern

Second thought: are executive governing roles better suited to influencer dynamics than legislative roles?
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov
The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.
Imagining this morning what an atproto pds that speaks activitypub would look and feel like. Also pondering what new capabilities can emerge when the two protocols play off each other under one account that can be exposed via api.

No time to write up, but whenever I do I'll thread this post.
The CIA used to fund literary magazines, don't see why it shouldn't fund the Muppet Show, though come to think of it the original one was funded by ATV in the UK, so maybe MI6 should pick up the tab, if they want to film it here again rather than on the Fox lot.
production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA
@octopodeeznuts.bsky.social just in case you're interested in simplifying your handle, @ellie.deeznuts.lol has the deeznuts.lol domain!

This is a test.

This dump of bluesky link embeds chronologically organizes the messy #ATproto login discourse. Made for my own reference, but possibly useful for you too. Presented without Commentary.
