I am so looking forward to @eurosky.social and I wrote down why I care about this ecosystem, both as an artist and as a coder. Including shoutout to @flashes.blue and @seabass.bsky.social #WeCanJustDoThings
Why ATProto and Bluesky matter to artists. Or at least why it matters to me.
A personal story about why I want to be part of the ATProto community, as a coder and as an artist. And why people need to invest money in it. Let's talk at Eurosky in Berlin.

Was für ein kultureller Unterschied zwischen #eurosky Konferenz u #Digitalgipfel gestern! Mehr Zivilgesellschaft, mehr Debattenzeit u sogar Fragen aus dem Publikum sind möglich! Hier gehts um dig. Souveränität im gesell. Sinn, um "Resilienz der Zivilgesellschaft" (quote @alexandrageese.bsky.social)

@tangled.org is such a great role model for projects in this moment

- actually does the thing: useful, accessible
- innovates/differentiates at *product* level: stacked review
- hybrid at proto layer (git and AT), pulls in bsky profile data
- built in europe by small amitious team

it looks like OAuth permission scopes are getting attention.

we know the stakes and urgency. we hoped to have this fully documented by now, and are very close. hold tight just a bit longer please

discussions are happening on the IETF ATP mailing list about working group scope and high-level goals.

if you care about how the existing protocol meshes into the standards process machine, I encourage you to weigh in!

we had a little bump with the Bluesky discover feed for some users, but should be resolved now

went deep on some lexicon language spec corner-cases.

please chime in if the proposed changes would be disruptive to you, or if you know of other ambiguities

Violent rhetoric is not only strongly embedded in our cultural expression, it is an extremely well-known phenomenon that people consistently rate violent rhetoric used against them and people they like as significantly more severe than violent rhetoric used against people they dislike.

but one man sat at his computer and imagined a different world. he had a vision of a country run like a corporation, headed by a ceo king. it would, he believed, finally make us free. but what he didn't realize was that this vision was itself a product of the very system he thought he was escaping.
