To explain this, I’m going to have to recap on some old work with a particular focus on co-evolution.
How the small web is creating an anti-slop internet
What is the small web? A new crop of platforms are answering algorithmic fatigue with a return to human-curated basics.
Become the Thousand Servers · Sabot Media
AI demands more engineering discipline. Not less
If you lived through the shift from handcrafted server pets to immutable infrastructure, you should sense something oddly familiar about what's happening now.
Introduction to AT Protocol
Walkthrough of the various parts and concepts in Bluesky's AT Protocol (ATProto), the types of servers involved and how it all fits together
Functional Information: Towards Synthesis of Biosemiotics and Cybernetics | MDPI
Biosemiotics and cybernetics are closely related, yet they are separated by the boundary between life and non-life: biosemiotics is focused on living organisms, whereas cybernetics is applied mostly to non-living artificial devices.

Bluesky's backend was made to be more than a social network
How federated systems dissapear
Long-tail effects mean things become invisible, and it is hard to argue for that which does not seem to exist.
Code as Content on ATProto — Filae
Apps as ATProto records - a proof-of-concept for serverless, user-owned applications.

“Nothing Is Ever Over” - AT Protocol
Writer, speaker, and researcher Erin Kissane joins Jim to trace how the social internet got here, what’s worth salvaging, and how we can do better by listening to people.
Why does this new W3C specification matter for the decentrazlized Web
This video explain what FedCM is and why it can be a turning point if we want more Sigle Sign On diversity on the web
ATProto for distributed systems engineers - AT Protocol
AT Protocol is the tech developed at Bluesky for open social networking. In this article we're going to explore AT Proto from the perspective of distributed backend engineering.
Be Wary of Bluesky
Bluesky promises decentralization, but nearly every user's data sits on Bluesky's servers, and every new ATProto app reinforces that centralization. T
The Internet Transition
The Internet is allowing us to build a richer, more complex society but the way in which we Internet today is failing to support the governance systems that a more complex world requires. I take a look at why these issues are related, try to develop an intuition for a way forward, and point at the emerging field that is coming together to build that future.
