"Several decentralized social-network protocols are increasingly being taken up by platforms for scholarly collaboration" 🚀 @semble.so and @atproto.science in knowledgepixels.com/nanopub-ecos... by @tobiaskuhn.bsky.social
Several decentralized social-network protocols are increasingly being taken up by platforms for scholarly collaboration. ActivityPub [28] enables federated message exchange across independently operated servers and underlies Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. The AT Protocol underlying Bluesky [18] lets users choose their own moderators, so each builds a personal trusted view from independently signed assertions. Building on this protocol, Semble [10] is a research-oriented social knowledge network that gives researchers ownership of their data across applications and surfaces collections through peer networks rather than algorithmic feeds. Complementing these protocol-level efforts, the Open Research Knowledge Graph [15] follows a curated approach, representing scholarly content directly as a structured knowledge graph.

Also very resonant with our @cairos.network initiative ✨ blog.cosmik.network/introducing-...
Image of a virtuous cycle - social networks that incentivize participation and elicit authentic knowledge sharing, tools that structure this thinking into modular units, and hybrid human-AI systems powered by that data to support next generation curation, discovery and synthesis

Back from a wonderful week in Vancouver! We're proud to have been co-organizers of #ATScience & first major sponsors for #AtmosphereConf ! We're excited to continue contributing to the growth of this wonderful ecosystem 🌱 Re-upping @bmann.ca 's thanks slide here and adding the @atproto.science crew
A projected "Thank You" slide at AtmosphereConf Vancouver 2026, displayed on a large screen in a conference hall. The slide lists contributors including conference producers Lucca, Rachael, and Iva; 40+ volunteers; webmistress Ms Boba and community contributor Flo; MCs Jim Ray and Chad Kohalyk; Remote Leads Patrick, Erlend, and the Roomy team; Graphic Design by Heather / Rogue Wave Design; Co-organizers Boris, Nick, and Ted; the AMS Nest Facilities & Catering Team; and Nathan at Raft Foundation as 501c3 fiscal host. To the right of the text is the AtmosphereConf Vancouver 2026 logo with sponsor logos below it, including Bluesky, Streamplace, Cosmik, Cloudflare, News Public, Google, A-Frame, Protocol Labs, and Fedico. Pull-up banners and a speaker at a podium are visible in the background.

Interesting thread by @altmetric.com comparing research mentions on Bluesky vs Twitter Respect to the science community on Bluesky! 💪🧪 And we’re just getting started with the broader @atproto.science ecosystem - will be cool to check back on these data at the end of 2026 🚀

7/ Finally- we now have a special new view for Bluesky posts (identifiable by the 🦋) that better preserves the original structure and content:

6/ Also - the Semble page now has a "Similar Cards" tab that surfaces semantically similar URLs from across the network. A whole new way to explore connections!

5/ Basically - you can use your own PDS as a Semble API until we ship a more comprehensive one. As @danabra.mov writes - “The protocol is the API”

It’s 2025 and annotations are still trapped in screenshots… Take this great post as an example. Most people reading the original blog (Zuck's) have no idea this annotation exists. Imagine browsing with trusted connected annotations as contextual overlays, giving you the expert perspectives you need

Imagine trying to land a plane in the fog without a heads-up display. Pilots used to do it but “flying blind” meant frequent disasters. Today, we're browsing the web in that same fog. >

We had a great onsite in NYC last week w/ @sharef.bsky.social @ronent.bsky.social @wesleyfinck.org - product brainstorming, strategy, bouldering and homebrewed kombucha! 🍻 Also inspiring convos w/ @exgenesis.ingroup.social @clinamenic.com & many more! IRL sensemaking is the best ✨

We're happy to be part of the movement working towards a researcher-owned global science communication ecosystem! 🪐 We're also excited to leverage #atproto 's composable nature to explore lexicons that go beyond discussions- for example, curation and review. Think Science Goodreads on ATProto 🤓

What is absolutely clear, however, is that researchers want better curation and discovery tools.

If you're not familiar with our work, we're building a sense-making layer over social media for scientists. The second iteration of this looks something like this:
