we're gonna see so many "PDS as a media server" apps

Lots of awesome OS for the PDS posts flying around today, but what about a PDS in the OS? Here's a peek at the native Linux rewrite of @aetheros.computer, built on NixOS with PDS backed user accounts and experimental support for spaces. Still WIP, but stay tuned for more info later this year...

Late night PDS MOOver beta release. Still testing, recommend using pdsmoover.com still for important accounts, but thought I'd share the new version of PDS MOOver to see what y'all think. Welcome to the New PDS MOOver (beta™️) oauth.pdsmoover.com

For the "release on a Friday because we're invincible geniuses" crowd — we have a So Big(!) new PDS, piping hot out of the oven. We've got UI customization, OTel monitoring, session reporting fixes, bigger blobs... our whole summer roadmap! Enjoy. atproto.com/blog/pds-customization-and-me…

Making good progress on hosting an AT Proto PDS for new micro.blog users. It’ll launch soon. Important note: it is not for people who already use Bluesky, at least not yet. The goal is to give new users an account on the atmosphere. Existing users will be happier sticking with the Bluesky PDS.

there is a whole history and world of opportunity with that architecture! PDS as User-Agent in the cloud. you could have little WASM plugins that do grease-monkey-like things to API responses. caching/coalescing, privacy enhancements, ad filtering, etc

One thing I've been toying with, instead of talking about "PDS" and cryptic nonsense like that is: Atmosphere Service Provider, like an ISP but for the social internet. Part of the motivation is that "Sign in with Atmosphere" only works if people have seen that before.

One thing I hope to see after this is more than just the reference implementation of it. An Atmosphere Account ecosystem where PDS providers compete on UX, features, and extensions can be a whole new brand of competition in the open social web, and everyone should lean into it.
