Publishing tomorrow, add any links you'd like to see included soon!

It's true that opening up the social graph removes huge network effect, but it's not the only one.
Note similar power dynamics emerging here

been saying this!
I wonder if this could be a web tile that handles the link redirection client side?

in this week's article I talk about Mastodon's new Share button, and how a network that cares strongly about open protocols gradually became dependent on proprietary protocols instead

wonder if you could elaborate on the power aspect?
ooh very cool! the @ecosystemaction.com folks might be interested in know more about this

folks at @ecosystemaction.com should call themselves meteorologists... change my mind
Really good article by @chrisshank.com about the politics and semantics of the @ symbol in relation to its use as a signifier of an address or person.
After all, with enough time, the politics and social understanding that arose during the development of technologies slowly fade away from the collective conscious, but they persist, invisible to the mind, nonetheless.

The construction of technology is, simultaneously, the act of embedding political and social values into those artifacts. What does it mean for the US military to be the primary funder of computing and AI then, honestly I'm not sure we meaningfully understand.

I'm pointing out the long and intertwined history of AI (and more broadly computing) and the US military that many people don't have context of. To imagine AI some kind of neutrally developed technology is blatantly false.
The US military has drooled over AI robots and weapons for 60 years, and have been the primary funders of it's development. Here is Alan Kay's recount of meeting generals in the 60's...

I suspect there is a step before/with imagining, which is really reconciling with the imperceivable ways the (US) military and corporations have shaped computing!

OG image of the ATmosphereConf 2026 website, includes an image of a goose holding a lantern with an @ symbol on it.
It's also worth noting, @ is naturally emerging as the defacto symbol across the atmosphere (so far on the developer side).
The meaning of these symbols is always open to new interpretation and appropriation! @ in the context of social media has ~20 years of history and I'd argue it's usage in handles signify's identity while email signifies an address.

Why isnt it @?
Cloud sovereignty, credible exit, and cookie banners are all forms of trickle-down computing

eloquent as always! the thread you shared continues to make me wonder if oauth might be limiting in the long run compared to something capabilities-based permissions.
Exactly. It's easy to underestimate how radical it is escape app-centric paradigms where *they* control access to your identity + your data
When your data + your identity exist independently, power shifts away from any/all apps *you* allow to access them
iโve been trying to wrap my head around why companies are openning up their walls via MCP. I wonder if in the ling run itโs less open than we think it is? Or maybe thereโs some kind of commoditizing the complement forming?
Ya i like operator over interactor, but it amazes me that Brenda made this point in 1991
"Bluesky will never decentralize"
Yes, you're right, that's what the Atmosphere is for. You're welcome to help expand it so your worst fears aren't confirmed due to inaction.
and i was mistaken to think all roads lead to Rome ๐
ah too bad, maybe thereโs more to thinking than backlinks and note graphs
