The Feed is the Product: Why We Stay in Walled "Gardens", and Why We Might Finally Leave for the Open Social Web
We have known this for years. We have known that the major platforms are bad for our attention, our sleep, our politics, our children, and our sense of reality. And yet here we are, still scrolling. This essay is an attempt to answer two questions: why is leaving so hard, and what does it look like when it finally becomes possible? Let's take the platforms one at a time, because each one has found its own distinctive way to be terrible. Meta is the empire that learned nothing. In 2018, we learne...

Self hosting a PDS isn't hard (so far)
Due to my compulsive need to self-host whatever I possibly can, I decided to set up a self-hosted PDS. All that's on it so far is my Bluesky profile data, but it was a surprisingly painless process.
There and back again, the long way round to publishing a blog post
As if I hadn't already written enough about my atproto rabbit hole, this time it's how markdown in my Obsidian vault becomes records in my PDS becomes HTML on a website.
Traditional Social Media as a Prison
Social media apps have become a vehicle for community building, world news, and political campaigns. As app owners have enmeshed themselves more with the state, the carceral logics that haunt marginalized communities offline, became a part of their digital realities online.
Atmosphere Roundup
Notes This is mostly intended as a resource that I can point people towards as an introduction to atproto, not for folks who've already consumed the koolaid I've been excited about the potential of atproto for awhile, initially by the data portability aspect, but more recently I'm digging the idea that it's essentially a giant...

Is my ATProto app actually decentralized?
A few days ago I wrote about rolld, the little board game tracker I built on the AT Protocol. As I mentioned then, this is very much a learning experiment for me, a way to play with ATProto and learn about it. In this post, I'd like to come back to a few of my struggles and the things I learned while designing it.
