My @re-publica.com talk is available now (it’s in German but you can turn on english subtitles). It’s making a case for running parts of the #ATProto stack as public infrastructure and shows where we can build bridges to the #fediverse - plus I’m showing people the variety of the ecosystem.

Excited to invite you to a panel I'll be on next week w/ @richardsever.bsky.social @joelchan86.bsky.social! We’ll discuss the future of open-access, new modular research tools (eg @discoursegraphs.bsky.social) and the role of social media in scientific discourse (@cosmik.network @atproto.science ..)

Hello world, and welcome to the Colibri Alpha! Colibri is an open source chat platform built on the AT protocol. We're happy to get this out just im time for #ATmosphereConf! Read more on our announcement post or visit our website for more! colibri.social colibri.leaflet.pub/3mhxzpvpvps2m

I have high hopes for @mu.social as a proving ground for democratic social media, given ample support from the atmosphere community. With the help of civilized-discourse expert @jonathanwarden.com we can have Community Notes on atproto, starting with mu.

ATmosphere Conf ’26 in Vancouver is a wrap! Your Germ reps CEO Tessa and Founding Eng Anna spent Atconf getting to know fellow atproto builders, learning what Germ features will support their users most, and chatting all things protocol. (We 💚 protocols so much we even have our own) ⬇️

Notes on our recent Brooklyn meetup — and the next one (June 1; RSVP & reach out w/ talk ideas!) — and a bunch more things we're excited to explore like a website, community outreach, other events… New blog + newsletter enabled, drop your email (or just sub w/ atmosphere acct) for updates!

As promised, here's a takehome from my workshop with @tessa.germnetwork.com and @anna.germnetwork.com at @atmosphereconf.org

rhosf.leaflet.pub/3mqsznoy55k2s/ Such an interesting post by @tessa.germnetwork.com! I feel like I have a different perspective on the social network vs. social media terms having lived through that era, but I definitely think about this distinction a lot too!

With appreciation for to @werd.io's foundational work on identifying the archipelagos and @tessa.germnetwork.com -- whose recent Leaflets on the future of social media are quite inspiring!

Made a few critical edits to the Germ collage and it's up with our latest blog post now. Miss you all! germnetwork.com/blog/germ-is-a-social-media-m…

People ask me if Germ is social media. Is anything anymore? Maybe we need new language for what we do, with each other, on the internet.
