FediForum | Growing the Open Social Web:<br>An Online Un-Workshop
Since the Twitter takeover by Elon Musk over three years ago, the Open Social Web has been adopted by an enthusiastic community. People world-wide are building and using open social platforms and open social protocols to better interact with others online.
A space to converse and connect.

nate.leaflet.pubAt @cascadiajs.com this year I gave a talk about #atproto and the Atmosphere: the open social ecosystem Bluesky and many other apps are built on, and what it means to actually own your data. I made a bunch of silly drawings for it, and I'm sharing them in this 🧵!
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!
New York, new meetup, newsletter!

FR#157 – Social Software Distribution
connectedplaces.onlineIn 2026, @bsky.app is focused on what’s next for open social: bringing together users for conversations around live events, creator and platform monetization, and private state, giving users truly private data while preserving ownership and portability at the protocol level.
This is, at it's core why I hate what openai launched with ChatGPT. It's also why I think social agents are interesting and why Claude Code, as a power tool enabled interesting conversations with my collaborators.

there is a strong intellectual tradition in cognitive science (that goes well beyond Chalmers) around thinking of many of the tools we create (rulers, books, maps, whathaveyou) and a lot of our social interactions as necessarily integrated parts of our cognition and integral parts of our humanity
