Just signed the Save Social campaign. It's also a good explanation for why we are seeking new technical strategies with the folks at @ahoy.eu and the reason we build #indiesky

The day after @ahoy.eu in Hamburg, Germany, we hosted a day of discussions about #IndieSky: running independent ATProto infrastructure.

The morning was a walk through and knowledge sharing about the composable protocol architecture, and the afternoon went through what a EuroStack would include.

Some of my takeaways from #ahoy25:

- a lot of people are building some cool shit with #atproto, both technically and organizationally
- there's a lot of optimism and feeling that this is going to be big
- this stuff we're doing here is *important*

Big thanks to @skorfmann.com @laurenshof.online @raedisch.net and anyone else I’ve missed for putting together the @ahoy.eu conference! Great times discussing ATProto, @sprk.so and #IndieSky independent infra. (Also got to explore the beauty of Hamburg!!!)

If you’re still in Hamburg, check this out
Today is the Long Night of Museums in Hamburg! With just one ticket (17€), you get access to over 50 museums between 6 PM and 1 AM.

Last year, I checked out 4 museums and had a great time. This year, I'm planning to visit at least 3. 🤓

I'm energised from #ahoy25 and contemplating setting up a #London ATProto developer/Bluesky enthusiast meetup, probably somewhere in Hackney.

Any interest?

The Bluesky Jetstream is great - and we just made it better. Introducing the Graze Turbostream, an enriched Jetstream that includes *all* stale referenced objects, and completely skips the need for redundant hydration API calls!

After today's session, I created a simplified atproto diagram just for me. Maybe it's useful to somebody. Feel free to comment if you spot errors. Getting the arrows right is the hardest part 😂

agency is not static or binary, it's an ongoing *collective* process.

that's what EU #indiesky day felt like today.

thanks @bmann.ca @knowtheory.net @skorfmann.com for making it happen 💙

Got to meet @skorfmann.com @sbstjn.com @coma.social @tobilg.com in person. 5 stars, highly recommended, would do again. 👍
That's a wrap! 🎬✨

It was a fantastic day, thanks to everyone who made this happen! All talks have been recorded, plus we did dedicated video interviews with several participants.

Both will be published in batches over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

It was an inspiring interdisciplinary insight of the AT Proto community and the transformation of the digital social sphere in general. I was as impressed with

Some random conf notes: Christine and Nicolas were doing an excellent job interviewing, though they did not know anything about ATproto etc..
Laurens relentlessly pushed through the longer interviews.
On the negative side, we had some technical difficulty getting the slides into the stream. #ahoy25

So grateful I was invited at @ahoy.eu to talk about power concentrations in the ATmosphere! In my talk I tried to make clear there is no social media without conflict, but we need to build democratic institutions to balance between feudalism and social norm conflict exhaustion.
