I love @pckt.blog I love @leaflet.pub Both of these platforms have made blogging feel personal again! Not to mention the editors feel great. ps. multi-lingual blogs still need some love. being able to write my blogs in two languages and giving the user a toggle would save the need of multi-posting
I love SF so, so much, there is so much beauty and brilliance here, I just wish we could take care of each other. Building a better world starts at home and we betray our values every time we respond to need with violence.

The #Atproto community surprised me. I'd never seen such a hopeful *and* earnest group of people working in technology. But then again, the web standards movement in the early aughts inspired me to spend the last twenty years working in and around internet software.

I guess we gotta repeat it for the folks in the back: I've never seen a project like Blacksky over years of watching social platforms. It's remarkable in many ways. That Blacksky is out in front on both community and technical leadership is something the Atmosphere is incredibly fortunate to have.
Lots of secret hostility. - Rudy is a hack - Blacksky is a semi-proprietary ethnocentric social network just “popping up” - Blacksky is masquerading as fully open source would you all like me to still speak at #AtmosphereConf this year? I don’t have to.

Instagram now requires users to have at least 1,000 followers to go live
Wait, this is a good point, lol. I don’t really buy into Love Languages but if it’s a tool that helps people communicate wants and needs, proceed joyfully!
“Love languages are made up.” So are languages. Do you want gifts or not?
