Reposted by Jim Rayjacob @edgy55.selfhosted.social · 03/10/2026To reiterate on a point I've made before, I really wanna see more Neocities-style unhedged rejection of the post-FB web in the AT Protocol world. I imagine a lot of people may see that approach as being more unserious or impractical, but I really do think it's worth trying 087

Reposted by Jim RayEugene Vinitsky 🍒 @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social · 17hIn a world where so much tech is becoming horrid and authoritarian, the solution has to look somewhat atproto-like: decentralized and transparent.

I missed the pictures but the very first slide was on the community labeler and guidlines.

Jim Ray @jimray.bsky.team · 02/10/2026Appreciate the feedback, Spluderman. The atproto website is more dev, not necessarily consumer, focused. It's not a product you use but a protocol for developers to build the next great short form video meme apps. You use websites every day, you've probably never been to w3c.org — and that's great. 010

Jim Ray @jimray.bsky.team · 01/10/2026Apps like @leaflet.pub, @pckt.blog, @offprint.app , @grain.social , @blackskyweb.xyz , @eurosky.social , @stream.place and @germnetwork.com are built on atproto. We call this "the Atmosphere" because we're nothing if not clever (right?) 070
Jim Ray @jimray.bsky.team · 01/10/2026We're working on making this easier to understand! Similar to how the http:// in your web browser points to a website, "atproto" is the open protocol that Bluesky is built on. Other apps use the same tech and we want to give them more prominence in Bluesky. 250
Jim Ray @jimray.bsky.team · 01/10/2026Threads's topic tags are (I believe?) manually curated by Facebook, which is obviously not very Atmospheric. What do you think would be a good mechanism for making them accessible and also open-ended / ecosystem-driven, without getting into the thorniness of folksonomies? 210
