Worked in academia for a while, mostly on interference mitigation in open communication systems. Now it's time for some more hands-on action. Main account on ActivityPub/Mastodon: https://chaos.social/@cypherhippie
Of the ~13k accounts on multi-user non-bluesky PDSes with their own rotation keys, here are the top ones: eurosky.social: 11,127 (83.7%) blacksky.app: 1,070 (8.0%) ds.raceef.com 428 (3.2% selfhosted.social: 109 (0.8%) at.app.wafrn.net: 67 (0.5%) npmx.social: 64 (0.5%) all others: 317 (2.3%)
I updated my census of rotation keys on the atmosphere: rob.leaflet.pub/3mr7vhdonuk2i "In total, I found 15,029 recently-active users (0.299%) who have strong control over their identity. This is an increase of about 10x over my earlier census ...

‘The loop closes when the people who spoke can see what their words changed’ This reminds me of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salutog... Comprehensibility Manageability Meaningfulness When we comprehend how to improve what is dear to our hearts, and when we have the capacity to keep going, stuff happens.

What’s the best way to ensure resiliency of the open web? ‘build something that people love so much that they would revolt if it ever went away’ is IMO a very coherent theory of change, thanks @dholms.at for pointing it out. #dwebcamp was magic, I’m still processing. inter communal spirit ❤️
What if we all pool our money and start paying for billboards across the globe and all the billboards do is explain what “open social” means
Generative AI is reshaping how knowledge is made, found, and trusted. A new white paper written with @wikimediach.bsky.social maps how the Wikimedia movement can keep its agency. Read it here: openfuture.eu/publication/...

Missed out on the first #atproto meetup in Vienna? Don't worry there will be more. Come join our vibrant community and have a chat, a beer, some snacks and more at our next event.
Du lebst in #Wien und interessiert dich für offene Protokolle? Du willst mehr erfahren über #atproto ? Dann komm gerne zum atproto * IETF meetup morgen ab 18 Uhr ins metalab, Rathausstr. 6. #ietf126
A reminder for those in Vienna this week, we have at atproto x IETF meetup organised at the Metalab on Thursday. Come by and say hi!
So if you have a rotation key & a backup you can move even if the original PDS is entirely offline. I just tested this when the Peedee es PDS went offline. It DOES require you to make that backup & key BEFORE the PDS is gone / offline or hostile but it works & PDS MOOVer made it no-code.
IIRC the vision is that you login to new PDS using OAuth, giving permission to manage account, and then the new PDS can pull everything over and complete the migration smoothly
Research project by @eurosky.social is about a concept that sounds like it could help us maintain peaceful coexistence ☮️ ✌️ ‘prioritize content that receives positive engagement from people who typically disagree’ www.niemanlab.org/2023/10/soci...
Social media algorithms can be redesigned to bridge divides — here’s how
"It falls to both the tech companies that built these systems and an engaged public to create technologies designed for social cohesion."

Do you like your social media less toxic? Yeah, we do too. @eurosky.social and Germany's Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation (SPRIND) just signed an agreement to collaborate on precisely that: eurosky.tech/news/eurosky...
At Eurosky, we believe verification should serve a simple function: provide a trust signal to users that an account is who they claim to be. It's not about follower numbers, 'public profile' or other vanity metrics.
Watch the space. It’s going to quickly become quite irrelevant which decentralized protocol you choose to make your home.
I think the only issue we run into here is on the login screen - logging in using an Atmosphere account vs a Fediverse one are two different things (at least for now), which makes for a confusing experience. Probably something we can work through, but worth keeping in mind.
...and now back to @wsocial.eu PDS. Roundtrip success for Freedom of Movement!
That's the model we believe in: trust and safety as shared infrastructure, a global commons any organization can build on. Grateful to Audrey and the team for including us in such thoughtful company. civic.ai

i need money to make pckt an actual company and to also get userinput.app onto the app store for those sweet sweet push notifications when brookie grant ?? repost and send this to 10 of your richest friends 💕😇
What's up with verification on mu.social? Our view is that verification is first and foremost about social proof that an account is who they claim to be. It's not about follower numbers, 'public profile' or other vanity metrics. We want social media where everyone can verify their account 👇

@brianknappenberger.bsky.social I feel like the spirit of #AaronSwartz is still all around us and I believe your documentary contributed a lot to that. Thanks so much. FYI: I used my chance to cite it at #atmosphereconf a few weeks ago in Vancouver: youtu.be/ro2bSKmUKdI?...

The problem I seem to encounter whenever I start working with the term ‘community’ in the current open communication debate: I want to be able to clearly distinguish this: more open VS more closed membership relationships? E.g.: is ‘self declaration of membership’ an accepted method here or not?
'Elections can be predicted by the level of funding' Soon we'll see if the outcome of 'the most expensive primary campaign in US history' will corroborate that well established thesis. I think I'm ready to bet against it 😬 www.politico.com/news/2026/05...
Tomorrow's primary election in Kentucky is a test: can Republicans defy Trump and still win? Rep. Thomas Massie has angered Trump so much this last year, the president has forced him to a primary. But if Massie pulls this off, more Republicans may follow his lead.
now reading about email and smtp so i can try comail.at ! i understand the warming issue, now i want to know what this could mean when it comes to setting up my own email outside of gmail/proton etc. also the vibes are so good, gj @scottlanoue.com (& @goose.art for the lil guy)

Cooperative email for atproto. Small self-hosters pool reputation through a shared relay so mail from their own domain reliably reaches the inbox.
