dreaming of protocol level sovereignty
bsky team 🌅
- okay now that atproto ethos is out, i have another update: i'm taking a short sabbatical for the next few months starting today. i have some stuff in my personal life that needs attention and the team has been very gracious and supportive of me taking some time
- This is an article that I've wanted to write for over a year, and I finally got the chance to do it! Atproto Ethos is a deep dive into how we think about protocol design - its influences, the core innovations, and the opinionated takes that we've adopted
- also I’m so stoked that skylight doesn’t have to send users to the bluesky app to create an account shouts to @matthieu.bsky.team & @esb.lol for getting the oauth account creation flow in last week 🙇♂️ give it a go if you haven’t yet!
- friendly reminder that building on atproto gives you immediate access to >30 million users, an existing social graph, and a huge network of open data & content it's increasingly becoming a no-brainer to build new social apps on atproto congrats to the skylight team on the launch 🙌
- Skylight Social is #2 app in Entertainment on the Apple App Store!!! #skylightsocial #tiktok #tiktokban
- this is so sick
- oh cool! my talk in case you missed it and are interested in checking out it I talk about “atproto ethos” which is essentially the philosophical & aesthetic principles underlying the design of the protocol
- ATmosphereConf 2025 Talks Atproto Ethos @dholms.xyz @atprotocol.dev #ATmosphereConf youtu.be/JSauiX7XHDo www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- #AtmosphereConf was unreal. Thanks so much to everyone that came out & the organizers for putting on such a well run conference So honored to see that people are picking up what we’re putting down. Super inspired to talk with all the devs that are building right now
- Hey devs, this is an exciting one! Just put up an early proposal for OAuth scopes in the atproto network. Eager to hear thoughts github.com/bluesky-soci...
- keep mistyping "auth scope" as "auth cope" freud etc etc
- slack being down is the WFH snow day
- great explainer from @divy.zone on the new sync semantics we're rolling out backwards-compatible fully-authenticated sync that should allow for more robust cheap relays in the network!
- books should be <200 pgs or >800 pgs. idk what to do with a 500 page book
- "typescript is like the java of the future... i mean that complimentary" - @divy.zone
- oh yea this rocks
- Managing DNS records is a headache: create and manage thousands of handles with a single DNS record using handles.net.
- very unfortunate CBOR parsing bug this likely broke all firehose consumers using the Typescript libraries just published the fix: github.com/bluesky-soci...
- Looks like it. There's a bug in atproto it seems, and it's making all new posts be dropped. Will try to fix it as soon as I can! github.com/bluesky-soci...
- which pynchon should I read first? reading crying of lot 49 as a little amuse bouche
