Social media is worth fixing - and you can help! We're bringing together early adaptors from 12+ countries to push for a European social web #atproto #bluesky Join us on 24th of April in Hamburg, Germany. https://ahoy.eu

AT Proto is such an innovative ecosystem with a lot of potential (I wanted to attend @ahoy.eu but I already had commitments, I can’t wait for other events to pop soon!)

Just signed the Save Social campaign. It's also a good explanation for why we are seeking new technical strategies with the folks at @ahoy.eu and the reason we build #indiesky

Dieses Thema liegt mir am Herzen. Bitte hier unterzeichnen: weact.campact.de/petitions/sa... (I'm hoping this says something along the lines of: "I support "Save Social", even though I'm not 100% clear on some of the details).

The day after @ahoy.eu in Hamburg, Germany, we hosted a day of discussions about #IndieSky: running independent ATProto infrastructure. The morning was a walk through and knowledge sharing about the composable protocol architecture, and the afternoon went through what a EuroStack would include.

The Bluesky Jetstream is great - and we just made it better. Introducing the Graze Turbostream, an enriched Jetstream that includes *all* stale referenced objects, and completely skips the need for redundant hydration API calls!

After today's session, I created a simplified atproto diagram just for me. Maybe it's useful to somebody. Feel free to comment if you spot errors. Getting the arrows right is the hardest part 😂

Some random conf notes: Christine and Nicolas were doing an excellent job interviewing, though they did not know anything about ATproto etc.. Laurens relentlessly pushed through the longer interviews. On the negative side, we had some technical difficulty getting the slides into the stream. #ahoy25

So grateful I was invited at @ahoy.eu to talk about power concentrations in the ATmosphere! In my talk I tried to make clear there is no social media without conflict, but we need to build democratic institutions to balance between feudalism and social norm conflict exhaustion.
