But any 2L would know that straight quotes are exactly what a lawyer not using AI would use if he wanted to deceive his opponent into believing he was using AI!

We are simply saying that, between trying to help, and not taking affirmative effort to try to help, we prefer the former. That's all. No threats. Nothing ominous. Good intentions, even when we make a mistake.

6/6 As an aside, we’ve approached one fork about these issues with an offer to help. Where we hold rights we’d rather help than take another course. I hope this at least clarifies intent and explains where we are still fixing gaps. Happy to try to field questions.

5/ Laurens was right to ask for a list of who holds which rights. We name the holder for every category except assets/images (33 files). We’re fixing that and working to add per-directory attribution, so you can easily assess your own position.

4/ On scale, of ~679 files listed, ~45% need no action at all — Inter, flag icons, Material Icons. ~9% is Bluesky branding folks will want to swap anyway. The commissioned illustration is 2 files. The real work is the UI icon set, ~267 files. I’m looking into this more.

3/ @laurenshof.online is right about the internal contradiction. Section 3 says we’re “not asking anyone to remove these files;” the checklist says replace them. My editing error. And our “not bad faith” line only applies to our assets. We’re fixing that.

Matt Reeder @matt.bsky.team · 14/08/2026
2/ Nothing was relicensed. The MIT license on our code is the same. We wrote down rights we never held: third-party art, icons and fonts we license for our own use. But we shipped it as a quiet merge. Finding out via a diff is on me. I’m sorry.

1/ ASSETS.md is mine — Jim took the comms hit, but the errors are mine. On “vibe-law”: I used AI to inventory the repo, which is why the paths are right and the prose has a mistake. The legal judgment and the errors are mine.

We have reconsidered our approach and agree that we were too conservative in how we rolled out age assurance in Texas. You should have access via the web.

@brianstorms.bsky.social, did the GPS option not work to provide the support you need? And, contacting the NM AG and explaining how another state’s law is affecting your ability to engage in constitutionally protected activity sounds like a good idea.

This is a large can of worms and I'm not HIPAA lawyer, but... the answer may lie in a PDS run by (or on behalf of) a "covered entity" or "business associate" that leverages permissioned data. dholms.leaflet.pub

Staying in the game
I'm four months into my interim CEO role at Bluesky, and it's time for an update. Most importantly, as of today, the interim part of the title is gone. I'm loving the mission and the job, and I'm all in as Bluesky’s official CEO. This job has been energizing from day one, and the Bluesky...

You’re reading the law correctly, but not all the way. Check Subchapter C (“Duties of Software Application Developers”), Section 121.054. No lies here.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness and care in writing this piece-- and for showing us the harmony and the dissonances of place, people, themes, and incentives that made this year's conference what it was.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.
