It's important to have a healthy social media diet. If everyone you follow is talking about the same Discourse, it's time to diversify your follows. This will help you Not Go Fucking Insane.

really disappointing behavior yall
not all criticism is transphobia. transphobia is very real and you get far less grace. but sometimes trans people mess up and pretending otherwise is a disservice.
your whole social graph can see your alt, and nasty posts will get more reach than you intended.

jumping off of this.
is there anti-trans bias among atproto devs, despite many of us being trans? sure. society is transphobic, people aren't immune. same goes for racial bias, and so on. we are an incredibly diverse dev scene and that means we need to take care to counter those societal defaults.

also, there are lots of trans people in the atmosphere community… juliet is just one person — her experiencing some incredibly normal and reasonable social consequences/effects of her own actions is probably not a good example to hold up and conflate as what transphobia looks like here

Did you know? Kit has a very quiet purr. To find out if she’s purring, place your hand on her neck. But not too long! Don’t want to make it weird.

bell labs but it's just modest salaries for transfems working remotely
i bet with like a handful of good engineers or even super interested novices who show mathematical/computer science aptitude and some claude max subscriptions and a year we could start to turn a lot of this around
it’s really frustrating how sometimes people want the world from the niche of tech i’m focused on but then also they don’t know people have been trying on this for ages and just not getting the funding or other social traction to finish it
like we languish in obscurity while doing what people want!

the thing to understand about atproto is that there's clique A and clique B and they both hate each other and then separate from both of those are the actual people doing things.

atproto desperately needs a way to deactivate on a per-service (per lexicon namespace?) level. wanting to tune out of one service shouldn't mean removing your entire atproto identity.

I think we need to build some patterns around this stuff and then start writing about it a lot so the people who aren't a party to these discussions have literature they can go look at about what the atproto best practices are and WHY they are best practices. The WHY is very important.

(this is about this but also about a lot of other things we've collectively learned about and discussed as a community. Atproto knowledge is currently disseminated through a mechanism that looks like an oral tradition and the lack of more formal channels to convey knowledge is holding us back)

i love this
for Strix, being an architect i assumed it was about architecture, but i followed really similar process. It’s _all_ about how you treat the agent. It really is just that. I don’t think architecture matters that much

felt the need. i feel vastly under qualified to write something like this, but i also feel its especially important that we think about the way we use language
