The ATmosphere is not Bluesky. Except when it is?
I keep convincing myself the ATmosphere is separate from Bluesky, then un-convincing myself. So, to decide (mostly for future me), I went through every layer: handle, DID, PDS, relay, appviews, lexicons.

What People Are Actually Building on ATProto Right Now
A protocol built to decentralize social media is quietly turning into a platform for everything else: a git forge that just shipped OAuth, a photography app positioning itself as the Instagram exit, an image board built solo in a month, and a land-funding tool.

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...
