TikTok has been added to Ellison’s media empire 🤮

I’m thankful to all the folks who are building on Open Social and working to give users a better place to escape 💕

@zzstoatzz.io and I were talking earlier about setting up some kind of regular hang for atproto hackers and the like. Let us know if you’re interested!

Could be a place to share a new project, talk about patterns/pain points, etc
hey atproto hackers and enthusiasts!

@chadtmiller.com and I were just chatting and we were thinking it'd be fun to get a regular video call hangout going

i don't think we really care if its discord, zoom, gmeet etc

who would join?

I'm making a thread of all the writing on ATProto branding and UX language from the last month or so. Please add what you know of!

I delete skeets so once we make the list I can compile it for our records.

If someone already made such a list, please link it!

I wonder what would be most useful to the ATproto ecosystem for Cloudflare to provide. Any thoughts @danabra.mov ?

Do Not Trust
Months after major data leaks, the app where women leave Yelp-style reviews about men is relaunching with a new website. It’s not back on iOS, but the Android app has new AI features.

"If you need everything spelled out, you can't read."

- James Paul Gee, Language as Ideology
Part of reading is also being able to use context & know what’s being said without the usage of words. I should be able to say “you should go for a walk today” & you should be able to know I’m only speaking to people who clearly can do so. If you need everything spelled out, you can’t read.

Our whole lives go down in the DMs.

Save the tea for the people you’re actually talking to.
*End-to-end* encrypted means your messages are encrypted from one end—you—all the way to the other end—the friend you DM’d.

So no one can read your messages. Not us, Bluesky, or anyone else who asks for them.

That’s why E2EE is the pinnacle of privacy. 🤫🔒💅
