Anyone ever get a platonic crush? Like having platonic feelings for someone that are as strong as a romantic crush and come with butterflies and everything, but it's clearly platonic in every way?

Interested in hearing from across the gender spectrum about experiences from different life periods.

Contemplating a strategy for the open social web that includes going scorched earth on the open web and enclosing everything behind shared social defenses without sacrificing values. Then rebooting the open web after the economics shift.
An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death
The UnPopulist @theunpopulist.net
Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
ATproto lexicon idea: domains available to be used for @ handle subdomains.

We should probably decentralize the infrastructure for mapping domains that invite public registration to new accounts.

And then build fun account creation flows for exploring/filtering through however many options exist.

Weirdly accurate
Scott Spence @scottspence.dev
Waterfall vs. Agile vs. AI development methodologies, illustrated through vehicle-building analogies.
Three rows show how each approach delivers value across four stages:
	•	Waterfall: Builds components sequentially toward a final product — a tire, then an axle, then a chassis, then a complete car. Nothing usable until the end.
	•	Agile: Delivers working, incrementally better transportation at each stage — a skateboard, scooter, bicycle, motorcycle, then a car. Always something functional.
	•	AI: Starts with an over-engineered, chaotic “Homer Simpson car” — a wild, impractical contraption — then progressively refines it into a normal, polished car. Begins too complex and simplifies toward usability.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My atconf talk "Consent Before Cryptography" is up!

20 minutes on why building a social future people opt-into is building the future that will win.

From FaceMash to the Germ Protocol, I think we're moving in the right direction. ✅

I've been dreaming about something like this for years. Surreal to finally bring it to life! We're super excited to see where this goes and all the fun #tft integrations that can be built on top of it 🏗️

Annoucing Semble Connections: A new way to organize, curate and discover content in the open social web 💥
No, Signal has not been hacked. However, we do recommend turning off showing Signal content in notifications because the content is stored in memory on device. Apparently, this memory can be retrieved if an attacker has physical access to an unlocked device and has the right tool […]
A reminder that we put out a report that explains the shady ways technology companies are marketing and selling their devices to police, including how they come up with the claims of effectiveness. Everyone, especially journalists and law makers, should read this.

One thing that Tara touches upon but that I want to spend more time on is that the master's tools that are problematic are the *epistemic* ones.

Tech has unexamined epistemic assumptions inside of which there is no liberation.

This is an essential read, and the closing on credentialing versus engagement and "centering the people for whom the stakes are highest" in particular. (H/T @peachfleurr.bsky.social @robin.berjon.com)
It's going to be hilarious when some version of the metaverse takes off here on shoestring budgets when Meta couldn't. Are anything happen while burning away the yearly budget of a small island nation.

🏠 I'd like to announce @margin.at is now my browser homepage, and it feels like my browser is a really cool social networking app for readers.

@margin.at, do you have usage stats on the social features? Are we browsing each other's saves and annotations? Replying to each other yet?
I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
my talk about @roomy.space is here!

getting to do this kind of visioning for a more just, (inter)communal world together with so many like minded people was such a life-changing experience

so grateful to
@erlend.sh and @zicklag.dev’s support to fully show up as myself and share some of my story 💗
As promised, we’ve created a policy document outlining our thoughts on AI and agentic coding (AI for software development). We’re releasing a vote later this week for Blacksky community members to offer their feedback. We look forward to hearing from you all.
I've talked about a /me API for years. I've built various version that never scaled properly. Now I have Naftiko - apievangelist.com/2026/04/07/b...
In other news, there are some exciting conversations happening around how to implement groups and permissioned data on atproto. Among other things, I think these efforts could have some of the most important and positive implications for cybersecurity and AI safety in society over the coming years.
