Been mulling over @bnewbold.net's recent post on community spaces and atproto's next frontiers. I wrote about why building for organizers (not just users) might be the key to making it all work.
Building for Organizers - The People Layer
The most enduring social networks aren’t the prettiest or the most addictive – it’s the ones that empower organizers.

If you're familiar with The Atmosphere, you already know how to get one, and this should hopefully help you explain it to others.

I've just moved to eurosky.social, and you can too! For European data storage, and to demonstrate how a decentralized, open social network looks like in practice. We are testing the personal data service (PDS) transfer this week, sign up if you want in! www.eurosky.tech/register #eurosky

Starting to think more about what a *Leaflet Pro* option could look like & getting some good replies here — appreciate your thoughts on this! Any other things you'd most hope to see?
okay, fun hypothetical about software pricing and creative tools (one of my top ten favorite topics): if @leaflet.pub were to launch a pro plan with additional features for writers, what's the thing that'd be most likely to elicit a "👀 shut up and take my money 💸" type reaction??

So... going to run a little experiment. Usually for the @techdirt.com podcast, I interview people I'm interested in talking to, but I figured maybe I'd try to do a kind of AMA: ask me anything. Respond to this Bluesky post with questions, and if I get enough good ones, I'll record answers as a pod.

can't get this idea out of my head that @bnewbold.net told me once -- when you put someone's atproto handle into a web browser (e.g. "https://rude1.blacksky.team"), it should take you to a myspace style profile page that the handle owner can customize
