Really nice to see this! When we say "user-owned," most of the time individual users don't actually want to run their own infrastructure. But a group of researchers banding together to run infra BY and FOR users like themselves — maybe that's what user agency meant all along 🫶

Despite a growing demand for causal evidence about social media, independent researchers remain severely
constrained in their ability to conduct experiments directly on online platforms. To cope, multiple method-
ological workarounds have emerged—from controlled surveys and simulations to client-side overlays and
platform partnerships—each requiring distinct trade-offs between desirable experimental properties. The
recent emergence of open social media platforms offers a qualitatively different methodological opportunity.
Here we propose a design space of social media experimentation and discuss Open Platform Field Experiments
(OPFEs). OPFEs represent a distinct class of experimental approaches that enable independent researchers
to directly intervene on functional platform components—such as clients, recommendation systems, and
moderation services—within live social media environments. Through a comparative analysis of experimental
archetypes, we show that OPFEs occupy a previously unexplored region of the design space. We then bridge
theory and practice by characterizing the architectural and governance elements that enable OPFEs, mapping
them onto Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and illustrating the end-to-end lifecycle of a complete OPFE design.
Overall, this work establishes OPFEs as a practical methodol…

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

AtmosphereConf 2027
The third edition of the global gathering for the Atmosphere Community is taking place in Amsterdam, April 29th - May 2nd. This includes side-events and main conference days. Please RSVP with your interest, subscribe for updates at https://news.atmosphereconf.org, and watch us build out the website with lots of fun features https://atmosphereconf.org As well as in person, we'll also be streaming and have different ways to participate remotely. Atmosphere Conference is run by the community, for the community, as an annual global gathering to connect, share, celebrate, and learn from each other. We welcome newcomers and want to engage with new perspectives. It's a community home for builders, supporters, and participants in the atproto ecosystem. We maintain collective resources, seed projects, and convene our community to ensure every member has genuine voice in shaping the ecosystem's future. #atproto #atmosphereconf #atmosphereconf2027 #europe
