i will someday write a piece with @pfrazee.com about why we centralized most of the development of the AT protocol within the team last year. TLDR is centralization and decentralization are system properties good for different things.

Guys, please don't let "skeets" stick
The experiment in decentralized naming decisions has resulted in the worst possible term
How about skoots? Can we bring back skoots? Bluesky OGs, help me out here, remember skoots?

yes, i ended up taking over devops for… a private cryptocurrency network.
how i kept the important stuff on me while nomading: made USB earrings. one booted into Tails, the other was encrypted and held the master signing key.

yeah it’s basically the same. most of you are kind, generous people but some are dangerous, and only a good reputation system will help us tell the difference.

previous job experience that prepared me for utter chaos:
\- couchsurfing through europe at 18, meeting total weirdos
\- making 200 plastic cats overnight at a hackerspace to put outside the FCC
\- unexpectedly taking over a company’s devops for six months while nomadically living out of a suitcase

honestly hats off to rapidly becoming janitor in chief of a massive shit factory. uncritical support to anyone who subjects themselves to this many weirdos at once. nerves of steel
