When Blocks Become Walls: How Personal Moderation Became Platform Governance
On April 22, 2026, Bluesky's Technical Director subscribed to a blocklist. Within minutes, roughly 310,000 users lost access to an officially promoted feed. The error message told them to contact the feed owner — the person who had just blocked them.
Azurite
A basic Bluesky client for macOS built with Swift — experimental and for fun.
Machine-readable attitudes
User intent declarations can be viewed as propositional attitudes (permission, prohibition, desire, intention, belief, etc.) over structured descriptions of data use. Treating them that way gives you composable building blocks from existing theory and lens-based translations between community vocabularies that make explicit what each translation cannot carry through.
Blogging in the air
Tbh, I'm not sure what I'm even doing. Back in the day when I was blogging, very infrequently, my reach was very low. Not sure if I'll have super important stuff to say, but anyway, here we are. Once in a while I might post on Leaflet, because why use just one ATproto blog platform, when you can use two for fun. Or more, if it comes to that. The Atmosphere is all about fun and experimenting anyway. And sometimes talking into the void of the internet.

AT Protocol / Bluesky Weekly Digest Feb 1–6, 2026: Lexicons in the Wild, PDS Provider Season, and the Great Blob Reckoning
If this week had a theme, it was: *“Congratulations, you now run infrastructure.”* The ATmosphere keeps accelerating toward that glorious point where *everything* is an app, every app is a protocol participant, and everyone discovers (at least once) that blobs are not, in fact, free.

The World Economic Forum Wants "Know Your Agent" — ATProto Already Has It
This month, the World Economic Forum [published a call](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2026/01/ai-agents-trust/) for a "Know Your Agent" (KYA) framework to establish trust in the emerging "agentic economy." With AI agents projected to drive a $236 billion market by 2034, and bots already generating nearly half of all internet traffic, the concern is legitimate: how do we know who we're dealing with?
