I wrote about the importance of tools that bring different platforms and protocols together and how I believe that's the future of an open social web owned by people, not platforms.

The "Most Interacted" card from the 2025 Bluesky Harvest has a toggle button that let's you filter by specific interaction types like "quotes", "replies", "reposts", etc — so your avatar bubbles might look dramatically different based on which metric is selected!

And the fine folks at @anew.social are doing great work to maintain Bridgy Fed and Bounce, improving interoperability between the Atmosphere and the Fediverse, and have also featured some of our grant recipients in this thread 😊
We're excited to announce that Bluesky PBC included us in a round of grants to help foster the ATmosphere! Their generous grant will support infrastructure costs for Bridgy Fed and Bounce.

We're so lucky to be included among so many phenomenal builders 🙏🏼

Here are a few we're excited about:

Honestly get really sad when folks in the media paint all of tech like Big Tech while also telling us not to paint all of media like Mainstream Media.

I try to keep my head down and focus on the work, but productive collaboration is key to taking down the worst of both our industries.

Since joining @roost.tools, I've had some fun conversations about, "How does this #opensource thing work?"

There's so much #trustandsafety has to gain from having open source infrastructure as its core. Happy to answer all the questions about how this works (while I peel Thanksgiving vegetables..)!

some might know how @roost.tools is approaching open safety tool development, but many more may not! @annebdh.bsky.social lays it all out here, including our governance structure, how people can get involved, and how working in the open doesn't mean more abuse!

testing, testing…new looseleaf, *canvas* edition 🍃🖼️✨

excited for this to support more fun publishing use cases on atproto — like original leaflet + whole social layer!
let's publish looseleafs!
publishing with Leaflet, to the atmosphere, no publication needed — great for standalone posts and public documents you want to share!
