Conference about the past, present, and future of building our own network infrastructures.

A conceptual model of ATProto and ActivityPub
If you were to design an open social networking protocol, what would that look like? Which metaphors and comparisons would you use to get a general idea of how the network functions? And what would you answer if people ask if your network is decentralised and federated?

Future Histories of Other Networks – Lori Emerson
#protocolsforpublishers #atproto #mcp #webapplets | Chad Kohalyk
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.

ATProto ideas
If AT Protocol becomes “a meaningful layer of the web” — even if it’s only tens of millions of users — then the winning ideas probably won’t only be futuristic...

Excerpted from Weird Web Pages. The Network is effectively a global jobs board, but for mutual collaborations rather than work-for-hire. Easiest way to prototype this might be with GitHub issues/di...
We need network societies, not network states — The Collective Intelligence Project
Balaji Srinivasan's The Network State posits a choice between reaction and stasis. A brighter future does not await through network states, but through network societies.

digit1024.leaflet.pub/3mpw3tn7owk27 My view on current sate of social networks and centralization of them. #bigtech #opensource #atprotocol #bluesky #facebook #blog #blogpost ( thanks @leaflet.pub for the platform - it is nice )
Anti-social-networks
digit1024.leaflet.pubthis is, I think, the path to atproto victory: social platforms have become samey network effect vehicles that exist only to copy each others' features, so all atproto has to do is build a large enough network effect of its own that it can absorb closed socials' features in the same way

one thing is it seems there's a lot more fast copying for eg every 'social' thing converging on shortform video / all kind of looking like each other but with their existing users. this is a very anecdotal impression though
