Web publishing is facing its next challenge: a new iteration of centralizing platforms. BUT there is also a new wave of open protocols and standards that can help us gain our independence. Next month in NYC we are gathering a group of frontier technologists and popular web publishers to discuss how we can sail into this next platform shift as captains. #ProtocolsForPublishers Learn more and sign up here: https://pfp.unternet.co We will be hosting talks on #atproto #mcp #webapplets and web payments, and give publishers the opportunity to interact directly with developers working on these frontier technologies. Thank you to Unternet, Graze Social, Free our Feeds, and betaworks for their support.

Why a New Protocol? The History and Future of AT Protocol - AT Protocol

The AT Protocol | Bluesky
The AT Protocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol, or atproto) is a standard for public conversation and an open-source framework for building social apps.

New: ATmosphere Report #145, with collections of links to interesting atproto articles for November This time, the links are on-protocol, as a @cosmik.network collection, with a page that lets you follow the conversations on @leaflet.pub and @bsky.app traverse.connectedplaces.online
“In the atproto community, apps built on the protocol are called ‘Atmospheric.’ So: my website is now Atmospheric, and this post is about what that actually means.” @disnetdev.com said the thing! disnetdev.com/blog/an-atmospheric-website
An Atmospheric Website
