Anuj AhoojaThis is a fantastic intro to the open social web tech under the hood of the Bluesky app.
I know folks here are sometimes apprehensive about what the Bluesky PBC is building, but I think it's worth understanding why a whole bunch of nerds like me are excited about AT Protocol, even though we also cheer for, build on, and spread the word about ActivityPub.
@mackuba@martianbase.net does a great job of simplifying complex ideas, and I highly recommend giving this a read.

Anuj AhoojaI know a lot of folks here have their qualms about Bluesky, but I hope folks are paying attention to what Rudy Fraser and Blacksky Algorithms are doing to decentralize their community from Bluesky PBC infra.
Decentralization at every level of the stack is happening on ATProto. It started within the Bluesky infra, slowly drifting away one step at a time, and it's inspiring to watch it all happen.

Anuj AhoojaBridging and cross-posting are both important, but different, approaches to solving a similar problem.
Today on the @anewsocial@mastodon.social blog, @snarfed.org@fed.brid.gy dives into the difference between the two and why we believe Bridgy Fed is crucial infrastructure for a shared open social web:

Anuj AhoojaIn the last five years, we've gone from "employees will never have to go into an office" to "employees need to be in the office because creative and innovative work can only be done face-to-face between humans" to "lol we don't need humans"
