The ATmosphere community should value being more colorful and playful
Fun is important
The floppy disk you like is going to come back in style
We hosted our own PDS, mirrored the game into player-owned atproto repos, and built folk.observer to look at it. A short development log about badges, lexicons and signatures.
Decentralization is Insurance
And no one's excited to buy insurance.
LeafPlaza updates the roadmap with transparency
We are publishing our roadmap after making an important update. It is also a big step into bringing transparency to another area of our work.
Progress on a PDS
My work-in-progress PDS is now available on GitHub Container Registry.
Don't Migrate Your Main. I Did, and Here's What Happened.
I pointed early software at the one account I couldn't afford to lose. It went exactly how you'd expect.
Standard.site Companion: eine kleine Safari-Erweiterung fürs AT-Protocol-Netzwerk
Vor ein paar Tagen bin ich über diesen Eintrag gestolpert, in dem sich Felix Schwenzel eine durchsuchbare Übersicht über alle Blogbeiträge wünscht, die im offenen Netz per Standard.site-Protokoll…
Moats & Drawbridges
In a world obsessed with moats, the open social web drops drawbridges
Talking in a room with no name.
"Bluesky" can mean at least four different things depending on the context. What do we mean exactly?
Your identity isn't your username
Your username is a label; your identity is a key you own. atproto splits who you are from what you're called, so you can rename freely, prove who you are with a domain you control, and carry one identity across the apps you use. Part of 'Apps as Views, Not Vaults': the things you make are yours; apps are just the viewers.
Who actually owns your network?
Every time I moved a community to a new platform, the exit cost members and history. Platforms come and go; the lock-in architecture underneath is why. Part of 'Apps as Views, Not Vaults': the things you make are yours; apps are just the viewers.
Das AT-Protokoll und ich
Ich mache mir zurzeit wieder etwas mehr Gedanken über das AT-Protokoll (Bluesky und Co.).

The Win Was Never Bluesky. It Was the Protocol.
The better question is whether we can stop rebuilding the same landlord model with a different logo on the door. Right now, our social graphs are corporate hostage files. One model lets you leave a platform and take your world with you; the other forces you to download your history as a static zip file and start over from zero.

Short guide. The mechanism is simpler than it looks, and it doesn't involve any /.well-known file or DNS TXT record.
Bluesky Is an App. The AT Protocol Is the Internet Beneath It.
There is a confusion that keeps recurring, and it is understandable enough that it is worth addressing directly.
Testing the ATmosphere WordPress Plugin by Automattic
Babe, wake up. New ATProto WordPress plugin just dropped.
Testing a Plugin by Writing About Not Knowing What to Write About
There’s something beautifully recursive about installing a publishing plugin… then immediately not knowing what to publish with it.
Switched to the new ATmosphere plugin for Bluesky/AT protocol integration from johnbeales.com, and it seems great. So far it does exactly what I want it to.

Introducing Disperse: A Share Sheet for the Atmosphere
Over the last few months, I’ve been thinking through what services that cross the Atmosphere would look like. It’s led to a few experiments that are worth sharing, so here’s the first one.
e551 — ATProto Socials
e551 with Michael, Michael and Andy - a tour of the #Atmosphere with #ATProto, #Sifa, @eurosky.social, #Leaflet, a #LEGO #cacophonous #karaoke of “Mad About Me” and a whole lot more!
The joy of building online
About finding your builder community online.
My website is atmospheric
In recent years, I'd tried building my own version of this using WordPress, Astro, 11ty, and others but never quite got it right. Enter the AT Protocol.
Re: The Everything Account
Making the benefits of the Atmosphere clear is mainly a UX problem.
The Joy of AtmosphereConf
Last weekend, I was at the second annual AtmosphereConf among 300-some-odd of the kindest people I think I’ve ever met in tech/tech-adjacent spaces. I wanted to capture some of my emotions as I left the space on Monday, so here’s a peek into my experience.
ATmosphere Conf 2026: the internet built for people, not platforms
370 people in Vancouver, 500 online, all working on the same question: what does the internet look like when users own their data? Highlights from the AT Protocol community conference.

Composable Trust, Part 3: 1 Community, 3 Sovereigns, No Landlords
An architectural model to yield members, Rosters, and Venues sovereignty over their own domains, and none over each other’s.
Adding Standard.site Support
At the beginning of February, I wrote about my recent adventures in the ATmosphere. At the time of writing, I was working on adding standard.site support to this website. In the meanwhile, I've finished it and my blog should be fully compliant with the specification.
Composable Trust, Part 2: Separating Trust from Governance
”Who belongs” and “What belonging means” are different questions. What happens if one steward stops answering both?
Composable Trust, Part 1: Communities Without Credible Exit
We guarantee that users aren’t subject to platforms. Yet communities are still subject to their stewards. Can we fix this?

Flying Into The ATmosphere
Since FOSDEM, I've gone down the rabbit hole of the world of the AT Protocol - or the ATmosphere, as some would say. I've learned about a lot of cool projects, tried some of them, and made my website also a bit more atmospheric. As such, I decided it was worth sharing!
The Everything Account
I’ve been thinking a lot about our accounts lately. We all have an ever-growing pile of digital identities scattered across the web, many forgotten after a brief stint with a random service we found in an app store.
The Last Social Account You'll Ever Need.
One Account to rule them all, one Account to find them, One Account to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

What you can do with AT Protocol
Years of centralized platforms have limited our thinking about what's possible on the web.
