Looking forward to my @AT Protocol Community ATmosphere Conf talk next week, meeting my internet friends for the first time IRL, and connecting with the Umoya Fellows.

My first 3 min video upload is [@williamcson.bsky.social]( ) talking about leftist organizing but is also my view on wealthy investors and tech industry types dictating what atproto needs to “get to the next level” “You cannot know what everybody needs … what everybody’s going to have to do to get free” https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreid6fxawf6g3v4mmhg7h5z445w7vdbqsbaurcyvhgim2kpuyenqlce
Built a local-first atproto CAR viewer. CAR files are part of atproto’s "credible exit" but even if users export their data, there’s no easy way to inspect it. rsky-satnav displays repository contents in a structured view. Will build on this over time (validate repo, etc) [github.com/blacksky-alg...]( ) https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreia6xhsps76ywteibgy7o34lrr2iylq2tvwacng66efzypq7spst2y

Why use a new technology (atproto) to do something you’ve already done b4 (build TikTok) Why not do something you couldn’t do before (custom feeds, leverage decentralized identity, integrate social features into non-social apps, mixmatch lexicons) “past results don’t guarantee future returns” etc

Today I've rolled out the rsky-labeler service to automatically label and report anti-Black content. This means that within milliseconds of someone using an anti-black slur in a post, profile bio, display name, or handle it'll be labeled as antiblack-harassment and reported to [@blacksky.app]( ) [rsky/rsky-labeler at main · bl...]( )
“Black users on Bluesky are already working to build a community on the site. One user, Rudy Fraser, launched Blacksky, a collection of curated, Black-centered feeds that filter out racism and misogyny to provide a safe, inclusive experience for users.” [Black Twitter helped define th...]( )
Friendly reminder you only have to use #AddToBlacksky once and never again. I see folks tagging every post with it or #Blacksky. You don’t have to do that. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreid3b7i3t4ljxjhdookd3rw7ugquzvrowdc3jxtxctbepxkdrf5rtm
My little self-care project over the next few weeks is scraping the last 5yrs of my liked posts on Instagram (13K posts, 30GB of media) to plug into a custom Pinterest/Cosmos style app. Scraping's done. Will work on the app in the next few weeks (no deadline). Then try putting on @proto #atdev
