i think i have more followers here than on bad site (i haven't deleted yet because @friendsofbear.bsky.social isn't active enough here and i need my cat pics), and even before I crossed that line, interactions here were far more common

Hello World from the PLC organization (plcred.org)! The org was soft-announced back in March at AtmosphereConf. We've been working through logistics step by step and now have a public web presence we can point to.

I'm excited to announce that the PLC Organization now has a statute! And a bank account! And a @standard.site publication! All the important stuff. The PLC Org is an independent Swiss Association meant to operate the PLC directory, which collects and distributes signed updates to atproto accounts.

Hi there, Tranquil PDS makes the decision to follow the atproto spec precisely, which means it differs from what bsky.social does and silently redirects them. Since Atproto-Proxy is missing, only c...

If you had to host PDS, Relay, labeler, CDN, client, and an AppView just to run an Atmosphere application, I would never recommend AT Protocol and tell you to find a better stack. But like the Atmosphere solves the cold start problem for having users, it does the same for devs.

as the resident 'migrations georg' who has migrated 7 times, pdsmoover is unironically the best. I used it to untangle the tranquil rotation key edge case not too long ago when I migrated back to bsky.social most recently

Late night PDS MOOver beta release. Still testing, recommend using pdsmoover.com still for important accounts, but thought I'd share the new version of PDS MOOver to see what y'all think. Welcome to the New PDS MOOver (beta™️) oauth.pdsmoover.com

yeah, I actually (with the help of Orange Boy) drafted a very high level portable text thing, but the editor wasn't super great and I didn't love the user experience. i may end up revisiting it once we have spaces in production

Jack Platten @jack.is · 14/09/2026
now we just need to figure out what the ecosystem wants to do for storing rich text (that wasn't drafted via pckt/leaflet) and we got a stew going

downvotes should be core infrastructure for any social app that implements upvotes or likes, otherwise you will always create an unbalanced environment

This is why we need a universal sign in, and I wager that @thisismissem.social — and her work on #FedCM — will be the thing to save us. It's such an *easy* win for us to start talking about Atmosphere accounts. wecanjustdothings.leaflet.pub/3mlv5oijn5s2q

The Atmosphere needs a front door
The Atmosphere needs a distinct brand identify, better tools for builders, a new UX for users, and a small empowered group willing to build it all.
