Brad's Thoughts on the Social Graph
I've been thinking a lot about the social graph for awhile now: aggregating the graph, decentralization, social network portability, etc.
Simplify sharing with built-in APIs and progressive enhancement
Instead of leaning into heavy social sharing widgets, you can create a truly user-friendly social sharing component that works for everyone, using built-in APIs and progressive enhancement.

Nobody joins a social network for its architecture. An honest look at why Bluesky lags Threads, plus real ideas to close the gap.

[Proposal] Shared private Data for social posting
seconding a sidecar private PDS endpoint attached to the DID document as a good approach in the general case (in an implementation of private data I did which never saw the light of day, this was the approach I took), though obviously it imposes additional constraints on a first mover building this out.

Shipped a new thing on @airglow.run: social graph sync 🔄 Pick the apps you use (Bluesky, @tangled.org, @sifa.id, @grain.social, @semble.so), turn it on, and your follows stay identical everywhere. Follow someone on one app, you follow them on the others too
The other day I was playing with file formats and decided to play with “how to store the whole Bluesky social graph“ without depending on tons of memory. I ended up creating Mutualsky, an API to tell if two atproto users are mututals, follow each other on Bluesky. It's live at mutualsky.cuducos.me
cuducos.me/mutualsky
tangled.orgThis is a huge deal: an independent verifier shared between social platforms, each of which are independently run. A great example of how people can take back control of their online social experience via the open social web.

Since the cat is out of the bag, I guess I can finally say that @medsky.network is one of the trusted verifier accounts on my.social! Just like on blacksky.community and connect.medsky.network, you can go to mu.social and see accounts that have been verified by us!
Atmosphere social client apps should make it easier to broadcast beyond the protocol. Ex. In-app mirroring tools for Threads, X, and other microblogging platforms. As well as having post scheduling. Let people share across the social internet, but make sure ATproto feels like home base.
this is my preferred pattern for atmosphere apps that are wanting to ”reuse” or “integrate” the bluesky social graph/lexicon don’t make me automatically follow everyone i follow on bluesky, but make it easy to find/discover/import my bluesky social graph (or other social graphs) on my own terms

yeah i really like this, though it would be nice to be able to quickly “discover” users you follow on bluesky who also are active on grain and quickly follow them @chadtmiller.com
