Every feed I run is currently on @graze.social. Graze provides me with phenomenal infrastructure, free of charge; you can also use it, today, to remix my feeds so they're customised for your news reading needs. If every 📰 News feed user chipped in $1 /mo., it would fund the whole feed ecosystem.

Folks have been reaching out about how to support Graze beyond our core product. We think that support needs to go beyond Graze. That's why we've teamed up with our direct competitors @skyfeed.app and @blueskyfeedcreator.com to jointly support all our work:

april fools day reminds me of how my mom never once caught on to my yearly “i’m getting suspended” calls from boarding school. i wonder if she really was that gullible or if she was just playing along bc she loved joking around with me. she made everything feel fun & lighter. missing her a lot today

You can tell what kind of person @devingaffney.com is by looking at his reaction to offers from users to support him and @graze.social in times of distress: he shares that support with his (also affected) competitors.

Small companies showing up to standards work matters. Graze made that possible for me last November in Montreal. Looking back on it now.

Graze Social and the IETF

Graze Social sponsored my first in-person IETF meeting in Montreal last November. This post is about what it was like to be there and why standards participation matters for small companies.

Looking back at some of the work I did with Graze Social. First up is AIP. Really proud of this one.

Building AIP: An ATProtocol Authorization Gateway

OAuth is the first challenge developers face in the atmosphere. This post is about AIP, the authorization gateway we built at Graze Social to make it disappear.

Really proud to collaborate with these people, and help point towards positive-sum cooperative competition in open social

casual reminder that @graze.social has the best branding in the entire game, and its not even close www.graze.social/blog/the-sto...

The Story Behind our Brand Illustration

Our brand illustration shows three layers: the foundation being built, the valley we're stuck in, and the world waiting above. Here's what it all means.

Trump: "There will be no trans -- uhh -- mutilation. We don't want any transgenjer-- gender -- mutilization of our children."

This is where I’ve landed. Obviously sherlocking happens all the time. Business is business. But doing it this way harms everything.

Trezy@trezy.codes · 4mo ago

Finally done. I was able to talk with @pfrazee.com, as well as a handful of other folks with insight on the situation. #atmosphereconf trezy.com/blog/the-mar...

I just donated, and you should consider chipping in if you can too. Graze is an awesome tool, and an even more awesome team. If you enjoy the ML feeds I set up, that’s all thanks to Graze!

Like what you're seeing? This feed runs on @graze.social, where the feeds you love come to life - pitch in below to support the team and keep the lights on!

Submitted my talk proposal to @localfirstconf.com! How can communities outlast the platforms they use?

Having spoken to the developer community at the event: it’s not about the AI, it’s about suckerpunching a team at a community event. bsky.app/profile/rica...

Ricardo J. Méndez@ricardo.bsky.social · 4mo ago

We might be reading different aspects of this. But Sherlocking one of your few ecosystem members with business traction — at a community event where their logo is right behind you as a sponsor! — is at the very least hamfisted. You don’t need to be maximally evil to FUD your own.

I will not be at the #AtmosphereConf this year 😭😭 -- in fact, I'll be out of the office until April 5 (after this weekend!) But I REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU'RE GOING AND ARE BUILDING NEW AND INTERESTING THINGS. Dm or Germ or Signal or email me with any news! (Links on profile.)

Getting increasingly pumped for the conference and excited about the slides @ellieonline.bsky.social and I cooked up

I'm deeply satisfied with the feeds I've built over the last year, and I wouldn't have been able to without the people I met at Graze. When we talk about dismantling the "walled gardens" of modern social media, building more communities like the one at @graze.social is what we all should envision.

I think it's important to recognize one of the most valuable elements for building effective algorithms within a decentralized social media platform. Community. What makes apps like @graze.social such powerful community tools for ATproto isn't the tools or interface, but the people behind it. 🧵

"social platforms shouldn't choose your feed" check out @graze.social to take back control! absolutely electric speech @devingaffney.com thank u for all u do!

@devingaffney.com’s work is hands down the best. @graze.social Speaking truth to power!

eating homemade tacos and watching @devingaffney.com crush his talk about everything @graze.social has accomplished this year (spoiler, it's a lot!) 🐮 #atmosphereconf

The @graze.social team and @devingaffney.com are some of the very best people I’ve ever had the privilege of working with when it comes to support, and I want them to know that there are so many stories of companies getting sherlocked & becoming MORE successful and I KNOW that’s their story. 💜💜

Speaking of other tools you can use to build custom feeds on Bluesky and ATProto:

For You, For Everyone: we're thrilled to announce that our feed personalization engine is now live — and fully open source. Read our @leaflet.pub announcement below, or follow the 🧵:

Damn. @devingaffney.com just gave an incredible talk at the Atmosphere Conference. If you missed it watch the video.

For clarity, this is a @graze.social feature, and it's cool as heck! You can make any of your feeds remix-able like this by toggling a setting in your feed preferences.

@aendra.com talk a feature she made allowing people to "remix" a feed and add a fresh version of a feed, personalized for the user based on their profile
