micchiato 🍉The thing I find curious about Masto is a general jadedness about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a>, but a general openness toward <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Substack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Substack</a>.

Hamish CampbellStruggling for a Real Alternative For the last 5 years conversations have been about, the #Fediverse, #Web3 and more recently the pushing of #mainstreaming into the #openweb native path. But despite this, the #fediverse is still a notable outlier in the digital landscape. This is in part because unlike the dominant tech trends, which emerge from Silicon Valley and the cross-Atlantic #dotcons agenda, the #fediverse is rooted in European ideals of decentralization, federation, and digital autonomy, it's a "native" #openweb […] <a href="https://hamishcampbell.com/struggling-for-a-real-alternative/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hamishcampbell.com/struggling-for-a-real-alternative/</a>

Laurens HofATmosphere Report – #109The ATmosphereConf was last weekend, independent relays are starting to appear, and more.ATmosphere ConferenceThis weekend was the first ATProto conference, the <a href="https://atprotocol.dev/atmosphereconf/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ATmosphere Conference</a>, in Seattle. Over two days there were a large number of speakers and sessions, with over 150 people in attendance, and a significant number watching the live streams as well. I could not make it to the US, so for a full overview of the event, I recommend this <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/25/a-world-without-caesars-how-the-atproto-community-is-rebuilding-the-web-to-return-power-to-the-people/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">extensive article by TechCrunch’ Sarah Perez</a>, who was present at the event. The entire event was livestreamed, and all talks can be viewed via this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyIg0j_mbb2tVegEMBg5ke2Z-1ALksU-I" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube playlist</a>.Some assortment of thoughts I had while watching the livestream and VODs over the last few days:<ul><li>Bluesky CEO Jay Graber gave a short <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ08qoNO0K4&list=PLyIg0j_mbb2tVegEMBg5ke2Z-1ALksU-I&index=5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">speech</a>, about her background as a digital rights activist, and how she is now “holding the door open, so people can see another world is possible”. Graber is clearly aware of her position, where she is seen as a figurehead of the network, while also wanting to build a decentralised network where there is place for competing platforms. Being a figurehead of a network, without becoming the de facto leader of the network, while also holding the leadership position of by far the largest organisation in the network, is a challenging position to balance.</li><li>Bluesky CTO Paul Frazee talked about where Bluesky came from and where it is going. One of the things he talked about is the consideration of why Bluesky decided on their own protocol and not ActivityPub. His answer focuses on practical considerations, especially how ActivityPub handles identity and account migration. Watching the A<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A-0k58TfPo&list=PLyIg0j_mbb2tVegEMBg5ke2Z-1ALksU-I&index=6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TProto Ethos talk</a> by Bluesky protocol engineer Daniel Holmgren it struck me that the question could also be framed as a matter of lineage. Holmgren talks about how ATProto takes inspiration from the Web, Peer to Peer systems as well as Distributed Systems. Placing it in such a context makes it clear that ATProto has quite a different background and other ways of thinking than ActivityPub has.</li><li>Ændra Rhinisland <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw8uyjPlEKo&list=PLyIg0j_mbb2tVegEMBg5ke2Z-1ALksU-I&index=18" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">talked</a> about how community projects can become load-bearing for the network, without adequate support structures for the people who run such projects. She also runs the popular news feeds using <a href="https://www.graze.social/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Graze</a>. Graze has been adding support for advertisements, and Ændra is one of the first to take advantage. In her talk she walked through how at current usage rates, the feeds could generate over $20k per month in ad revenue. She plans to use this revenue to support the queer communities building on ATProto, and showed early plans for a self-sustaining fund powered by Graze’s feed revenue, to support initiatives such as <a href="https://northskysocial.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Northsky</a>.</li><li>The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbnRWKjYVn0&list=PLyIg0j_mbb2tVegEMBg5ke2Z-1ALksU-I&index=12" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">talk by Ms Boba</a> is a great indication of how much under-explored design space there is on Bluesky and ATProto. Her talk focuses on labelers and fandom communities, and has some great examples of how they can be used outside of moderation.</li><li>Blacksky founder Rudy Fraser gave an excellent talk, describing Bluesky as a skeuomorphism, meaning that it imitates the design of the product it’s replacing. This phase is a part of the adoption cycle for new technologies, but Fraser does not to stop at imitation but instead explore the new ways that communities can be build online. Fraser is specifically interested in building platforms that can serve mid-sized communities, ranging from hundreds of thousands to a few million people. The Blacksky community is an example of this, and Fraser hopes that Blacksky can inspire other communities to do the same. His framing of content moderation as community care and not a cost of business also resonated with me.</li><li>Erin Kissane’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMIhkA8QEKc&list=PLyIg0j_mbb2tVegEMBg5ke2Z-1ALksU-I&index=13" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">talk</a> goes into detail about vernacular institutions, local and grassroots organisations and practices that are often illegible to outsiders but deeply embedded in local communities. This allows them to be close to the needs of their community members, but makes them hard to see and understand from the outside. This outside illegibility is a double-edged sword: IFTAS served a crucial role for trust and safety in the fediverse ecosystem, but had to shut down to a lack of funding as a result of being illegible to financiers.</li></ul>Some more articles on the events:<ul><li><a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/the-under-the-radar-tech-revolution-that-could-change-how-the-internet-works/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The under-the-radar tech revolution that could change how the internet works</a> – Marcelo Calbucci/GeekWire</li><li><a href="https://newsletter.danhon.com/archive/s19e08-its-not-2006-anymore-the-useful-vernacular/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Things That Caught My Attention</a> – Dan Hon</li><li><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/26/whats-next-for-atproto-the-protocol-powering-bluesky-and-other-apps/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What’s next for ATProto, the protocol powering Bluesky and other apps</a> – Sarah Perez/TechCrunch</li></ul>The next ATProto conference, <a href="https://ahoy.eu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ahoy</a>!, will be in Hamburg, Germany, on April 24th. This one-day conference will feature ATProto speakers from the European side: Sebastian Vogelsang, who develops the Bluesky clients Skeets and Flashes, Redsolver, who has build the first popular custom feed platform Skyfeed, and Anirudh Oppiliappan, who is the cofounder of git colloboration platform Tangled. I can tease that I’m pretty excited about the next speaker to be announced, who is also a very familiar name within the ATProto developer community, so stay tuned!On relaysBluesky PBC has been working on a new version of the relay that makes it easier and cheaper to host, under the Sync 1.1 <a href="https://github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/pull/70/files" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">proposal</a>. This new version is now starting to roll out, showing a significant drop in resource usage. Bluesky engineer Bryan Newbold shared some statistics <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/bnewbold.net/post/3lkpdjgj5pk2i" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. Independent ATProto developer <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/futur.blue" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@futur.blue</a> set up his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_ReYV3CbSg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">own relay as a speedrun</a>. He shows that a full network relay can be run on a 50USD Raspberry Pi, with an easy-to-follow tutorial <a href="https://whtwnd.com/futur.blue/3lkubavdilf2m" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.That full network ATProto relays are cheap to run has been known for a while within the ATProto developer community, but that knowledge has not spread much yet. One reason for this is that independent developers have set up relays primarily for their own use, sharing access with a few friends, but no other publicly accessible full-network relays exist yet1.<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/sprk.so/post/3ll7ydztsy22e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Upcoming</a> short-form video platform Spark is building their own complete infrastructure. Spark’s <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/joaodavisn.com/post/3ll5vjaki622g" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">relay</a> will publicly accessible, and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/sprk.so/post/3llf2zlv5222x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hosted in Brazil</a>. Having ATProto infrastructure outside of US jurisdiction is a conversation that has come up regularly, and often followed by the assumption that the alternative is to have infrastructure like a relay hosted in Europe. Spark is bringing in a slightly unexpected twist here, by having the first publicly accessible relay that is not owned by Bluesky PBC being hosted in Brazil instead.Having other relays that are not owned by Bluesky PBC has been the subject of a lot of conversation, and the <a href="https://freeourfeeds.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Free Our Feeds</a> campaign was founded on the idea that a significant financial investment is needed to do so. Furthermore, it assumes that such a relay is not only expensive, but that it requires an extensive governance infrastructure to manage it. The current developments regarding relays call both of these assumptions into serious question: relays are cheap, not expensive. Furthermore it seems that there is enough incentive that organisations that are serious about building their own ATProto platforms are willing to run their own relays.In Other NewsBluesky PBC has published a <a href="https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/3655" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">proposal</a> on how they want to handle OAuth Scopes. OAuth Scopes is one of the main projects on the <a href="https://docs.bsky.app/blog/2025-protocol-roadmap-spring" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">roadmap</a> for the first half of this year. Currently, logging into an ATProto app via OAuth requires you to give that app permission to access all the data for your account. OAuth Scopes allows an app to only ask for the permissions that are necessary, and not the entire account. There are two problems that need to solve: the technical part of making it work, as well as the handling the UX to communicate clearly to people what data an app wants to access. The challenging part of the UX is how to handle the translation from the technical description of the data that is requested (stylised like ‘app.bsky.feed.getFeed’, for example), into a way that is understandable for the everyday user. The second challenge is that apps require permission not for one, but for many types of this lexicon data. A third-party Bluesky client that is restricted to only Bluesky data will still have to request a dozen of these Lexicons. A long list of technical lexicon names makes it impossible for regular people to have an informed opinion on what data is and is not being accessed. Bluesky PBC’s proposal is to group different lexicons into bundles, and create new lexicons that reference these bundles. Scoped OAuth can then request access to a bundle of lexicons, with a description that is legible for regular people. Git repository platform Tangled is working on news ideas how a GitHub alternative might do things differently, and one of their first <a href="https://tangled.sh/@tangled.sh/core/issues/43" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">proposals</a> is defining two types of pull requests. For another look at Tangled, this <a href="https://dailydrop.hrbrmstr.dev/2025/03/19/drop-624-2025-03-19-into-the-atproto-verse/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">blog</a> post experiment with what the platform allows. One of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4W3oZPRSD8&list=PLyIg0j_mbb2tVegEMBg5ke2Z-1ALksU-I&index=11" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">talks</a> at the ATmosphereConf was by independent developer <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/raz.lol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rashid Aziz</a>, who is the co-founder of <a href="https://basic.tech/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">basic.tech</a>. Basic is a protocol for user-owned data, and seems to be fairly comparable to the PDS part of ATProto, with the major difference that Basic allows for private data on their version of a PDS. Aziz used the combination of these two protocols to create <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:d6ieoujbwmoee632scklrb6s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">private bookmarks</a> for Bluesky.The new <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/recordcollector.edavis.dev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Record Collector labeler</a> automatically displays if someone has been using other apps in the ATmosphere outside of Bluesky.<a href="https://rocksky.app/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rocksky</a> is a new music scrobbler service on ATProto, that is currently in <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/rocksky.app/post/3lldn3y3s2k2r" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">closed beta testing</a>.

Kristoffer LawsonIf true, this is now a major downside to <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a>. One of the best things about <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> is that links are just that, links. They go to the page they mention. I’m not even that bothered by tracking potential elsewhere, but it’s so ugly to get links that can’t be copy pasted from a post because they are some internal link, or open slowly because of the redirect or get loads of tracking parameters thrown on top.

FediThing 🏳️‍🌈If you post a link on Bluesky, it is now automatically redirected via the domain go.bsky.app before it actually goes to the link in the post. There is no way to stop this or know that it is happening as the redirect only flickers on the screen for a fraction of a second.Presumably this means Bluesky can now track all link clicking on their platform, including IP addresses, destinations etc?Or have I misunderstood?<a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a>

Daniël Franke :panheart:I’m honestly disappointed by anti-capitalists thinking that bluesky/AT will end any better than Twitter, Facebook, or other venture capitalist backed for-profit social media.Yes, it’s fun now, and that’s because they are keeping it fun to gather a critical mass of users so that they get the network effect on their side. At some point the capital will dry up, and investors will want to see return on their investment, and suddenly your data is the product again, and when that’s not enough, they will try other more invasive monetisation strategies.And if you want to get away from that but still use the at protocol? Hope you have a few thousand per month lying around, because unless you want to remain dependent on the blue sky infrastructure, that’s what you need to afford to run your own at proto infrastructure.<a href="https://social.ainmosni.eu/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a> <a href="https://social.ainmosni.eu/tags/atproto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATProto</a> <a href="https://social.ainmosni.eu/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a>

Kevin LeecasterOne outcome from E-loons Nazification of Twitter was to reduce how much attention corporations paid to what's being said about them on SM. I liked having them become more accountable and miss them not being on <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a> nor <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> and not just for that, but cool interactions like this too.

The Nexus of PrivacyThe energy at <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ATmosphereConf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATmosphereConf</a> was indeed very positive and optimistic, and there were some great talks and discussion sessions. Dan's got a great summary of <a href="https://mas.to/@kissane" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kissane</a>'s talk; <a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/rudyfraser.com" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rudyfraser.com</a>'s talk <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/nc3X_WgykYA?t=5673s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">starting at 1:34:30 in the Sunday livestream is great as well</a>. And as for the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FreeOurFeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeOurFeeds</a> session Dan describes so vividly ... the session I suggested that hile I very much agree with their goal of European data soverignty and it's great to hear his perspectives that funders are willing to invest in it, the initial focus on a relay - or slightly-broader focus on a relay and PDS - isn't going to get them there, they really need to take a system view. The response was something along the lines of "let me turn it around and ask what you think are the key aspects from the system view." Wait a second, I'm not the one who's trying to raise $30 million here! Oh well, they once again got a lot of feedback, let's see if they incorporate it.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ATmosphereConf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATmosphereConf</a>

An excerpt:<blockquote>"It felt like being at an O’Reilly ETech conference in the early 2000s. These were the conferences where web2.0 was invented, solidifed, and named. They were incredibly optimistic times and clearly with the benefit of hindsight, we were stupendously naive and privileged. You just have to look back over the last 18-odd or so years to see how what we thought would happen by default (“more people connected means good things will happen!) totally did not happen and instead ended up reinforcing and making existing power structures worse. Sorry.But the energy from those conferences was there over the weekend. It felt like the beginning of something that could make a difference.What matters is how different ATMosphere 2025 was. For one, the people who were there in the early 2000s were there to say amongst other things: these are the mistakes we made. These are the assumptions we made. Please make new mistakes. There’s no need to go over what we did. Here’s what we learned. Here were our blindspots. Here’s who wasn’t in the room. So it was different -- and better -- that Rudy Fraser from Blacksky was there.Now is the time that we need to be making new mistakes."</blockquote><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluesky</a>
