"We think we can pull off the best of both worlds. When you build a community or private space on AT Proto, it’s absolutely 100% owned by you. It’s not owned by Bluesky or by any company. It’s just like everything else on a protocol. It’s owned by the users, not by the platform."

Two great posts about atproto today, very different from each other.
I've been thinking more that once artists and creatives fully embrace LLMs we'll see a whole new workspace come to light I'll keep coming back to this piece...each exploration worth its own deep dive

“[Anisota] is a gamified social interface where each post becomes a collectible trading card with rarity ratings and stamina limits to discourage compulsive scrolling. It makes social feel like play. It's built on AT Protocol, which means it inherits the network rather than having to recruit it.” 🖤

"To understand life, try to create it; to understand intelligence, try to create it. To understand consciousness, try to make artificial versions of it. In this way, new things appear long before we understand them, and long before we can measure them." look at us today asking, is AGI here?

most of the complaints about social media result in not having tools / alternatives to change it, no longer the case!
Mike Masnick@masnick.com · 4mo agoI recognize that @attie.ai is tremendously unpopular among some here, but I wanted to talk a little about how I've used it in a way that gives me way more control over my own social experience... Open to constructive discussion on it. Not really open to pure vitriol.
v1.121 is live! We've increased the quality of photos in posts by doubling the max file size to 2MB and the resolution limit to 4000x4000. Plus, posts with multiple photos now appear in a carousel so you can show off your photography in all its glory.

My love letter to the atproto community, a talk called "Feature / Product / Business" at @atmosphereconf.org. Slides: ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybei... Recording: atmosphereconf-vods.wisp.place/videos/featu...
1/ Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new—an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.
I recognize that this will not be a popular opinion, but I think it's true. And I hope people will read the whole thing before they start yelling at me based on the headline.
