Welcome! This project started as an idea to created an atprotated clone of Disqus, but has grown in scope and ambition. This thread is dedicated to helping us figure out what exactly footnotes.social should be (and how to refer to it, I'm not too into just calling it "footnotes.social" forever). Come chat!

expanded to include margin annotations and other multi-channel approaches towards text, information and credit.
Bluenotes: Community Notes for ATProto
I'll briefly demonstrate Bluenotes, a fork of the Bluesky with Community Notes. Then I'll discuss a proposed "Open Community Notes" standard and lexicon for Community Notes on ATProto, and discuss challenges such as preserving contributor anonymity and defending against manipulation.

Okay... This looks very cool. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 For researchers and reporters looking to find and collate material from across the web, imagine a search and bookmarking tool that's social. 📝📝📝 @semble.so let's you log in with your BlueSky account.

Bluenotes is a fully-featured fork of the Bluesky social app, with the addition of a Community Notes feature that works just like Twitter's Community Notes. We're currently in Phase 1 of the beta. Please check it out and leave your feedback here! bluenotes.social

bluenotes.socialA great little thread for distinct social graphs. @sprk.so will definitely be taking ‘hints’ from existing ones (like Bsky), already in the works.

Definitely room for UX exploration, but no-ones has a single social graph. It's the biggest lie zuck ever told. 😅 There's a lot of writing on this, but a decent place to start is Erving Goffman; we wear different masks and perform to different audiences depending on social context.
