Congrats to our friends at AltStore on joining the social web! 🎉
@rileytestut and @shanegillio’s alternative iOS app store is integrating with the fediverse, letting apps shared through AltStore travel across platforms like Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky and become more discoverable across the open social web. https://mastodon.social/@altstore@fosstodon.org/116211352409119073

You know, @periwinkle.social@bsky.brid.gy is the StatusNet of the #ATmosphere network. StatusNet (2008) was the first managed hosting (free & paid) for the #Fediverse network (then called Identiverse). #OpenSocial #SocialWeb
Jay Graber is stepping down as open social platform Bluesky's CEO and becoming its chief innovation officer, @WIRED reports. The board of directors will appoint her successor.

Hi @staff, I saw your post about the future of Mastodon and I first want to applaud y'all on making many forward-looking changes that will help grow #Mastodon ecosystem and the #Fediverse in positive ways.
I also saw that you're interested in new outside-the-box ideas for how Mastodon.Online might progress in its own direction.
Well, I have a few:
A Vision for Mastodon.Online – Ted Curran.net
From "#India #AI Impact Summit":
"#Opensocial #protocols offer alternative visions that, in a range of ways, can contribute to a renewal & long-term instantiation of user agency. Their #openness, meaning the ability of people to use and extend protocols in accordance with open software licences, creates the possibility of mixing and matching open social protocols with an AI agent-mediated web.
…the open social web itself may be a source of data to build #publicAImodels."

Mastodon has announced plans to make its app more approachable for newcomers, and developed new features for creators. Here's @Sarahp's story for @Techcrunch. Find the full blogpost by @renchap and @imanijoy at the second link.
Why do we want to grow the open social web, and for whom? @ben says the value is in protocols that allow people — all people around the world — to build and own communities that address their needs. "The only way to achieve that is to not just co-design with them but distribute equity. They must be full co-owners of the open social web," he writes.
Testing out FastSM on both Mac and Windows, and I’m really liking it so far. Smooth experience, solid performance, and no major hiccups yet. Curious to see where it goes as more features roll out.

If there's one thing that unites the #Fediverse and The #ATmosphere it is this: Substack is ⛔👎🏽🙅🏽🚫😒😤
Use Hugo (with ATProto & ActivityPub plugins), WriteAs, Offprint, GreenGale, Pckt, Leaflet, Ghost, WordPress (with AP plugin).

As seen at #FOSDEM, a Mastodon API tool that splits long posts into a thread. I’m just sad the logo isn’t a ninja sewer rat.
Oh! I just realized I could use the FediGallery to provide y'all a view of Fosdem from the persepective of fediverse users. :)
My day is starting so I have to step away from the live streams. But it’s good to know the sessions will be available later:
(Edit: Added the exact folder - they are starting to show up now!)

I promise, I'm not an ATproto dev. I just like testing stuff. I've been doing this since 2008 when the first open Social Web network, the Fediverse, launched. Today, I'm more active in the ATmosphere network of the open Social Web. 😁 at-me.wisp.place/view/?handle... #OpenSocial #SocialWeb
