LA! It’s time. We’re kicking off atproto LA with a banger of an event, right before everyone heads off to Atmosphereconf!! We’re going to have some incredible guests straight from the atprotos ...

Oh no it's happening here too! Massive science threads and convos with zero involvement from women 😭 That was one of the weirdest, most alienating things about science twitter (and why perhaps I don't have as fond memories of it as some of my male colleagues do) and I'd hate it to be replicated here
this latest “bluesky is dying” wave feels like a good time for me to reshare the talk i gave at Atmosphere Conference 2026 i’m biased of course, but i think it does a pretty damn good job of explaining how we got here and where we’re going i’ve never felt more certain that atproto will “win”
