Paper discussions on Bluesky at VIS 2026
How VIS 2026 puts a Bluesky thread under every paper.
AT Protocol Integration ยท Underlay
AT Protocol is a federated networking protocol built around typed records, content addressing, and the separation of data from applications. Those are also the design principles behind Underlay. The overlap is not superficial. The two systems solve different problems in complementary ways, and connecting them is straightforward.
Science Must Decentralize
Knowledge production doesnโt happen in a vacuum. Every great scientific breakthrough is built on prior work, and an ongoing exchange with peers in the field. Thatโs why we need to address the threat

Gradients of intimacy and creating shelter: An interview with Erin Kissane
How might we use nature as an inspiration for creating online communities?
Many osf.io features could be built on #atproto: your project repos would be hosted on your PDS (eg your bluesky acct). Institutions could host PDSs, distributing costs. Every record would have a unique id (analogous to a doi). Multiple apps could access the records in multiple ways @atproto.science
Brian Nosek
Over the next several months, we will phase out some popular OSF features. These changes do not affect current public content, which remains safe and accessible. We have prepared support material to help users adapt. I am very sorry for the disruption to your work. Please read this post for details.
I think #ATScience should subsume those old, storied, and respected(?) reputation systems. What value they provide can be a great starting point for something far greater.
After reading about ATProto stuff this morning I realised that one possible future for science publishing, within something like @atproto.science, is that every scientist becomes their own journal. The key realisation is that a paper published to my own PDS can be published in many journals.
I tell you, the match between #atproto and open academic publishing is made in heaven. If we have learned anything from the for-profit-publishing, AI slop, and Twitter/X polycrisis, the future of academic publishing is decentralized eprints on #atproto, an it may well begin right here.
Chive
Alongside a bunch of bug fixes, we've got a few new features on chive.pub we're excited about. Most of them involve connecting a paper to other things that relate to it on the Atmosphere and beyond.
Imagine community attestation for (scientific) achievements. Labeling that. Which brings me back to the question whether #ATScience should replicate trad. reputation? I really don't know!
I think there needs to be a UK academic publishing server that provides permanent email addresses for researchers to use as corresponding authors. That way, people don't lose access when they move or leave an institution, and reviewer invitations can continue to be sent to a stable address #MicroSky
