Earnest post: The Bluesky team is a special group of people. I lob stupid questions at these people all day long and they always bring me along and genuinely invest in expanding my understanding.

what’s refreshing about #atmosphereconf is how interdisciplinary the subjects and speakers are - it’s not all code but instead showcasing the roles of scientists, journalists and creators. the community is multi-faceted and have a shared interest in combatting misinformation and abuse.
