Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

I think it’s time to elevate the Atmosphere branding as ‘your everything-account for the Internet’.
Bluesky is not “the last social identity you’ll ever have to create”, your Atmosphere identity is.
Bluesky = one of many Google apps
Atmosphere = your Google account

my initial though is that if we expand the PDS account manager and have most major account actions take place there, it could help.
eg, similar to how youtube would probably direct you to google accounts for full account deletion, and then it is clear that impact goes beyond youtube

I can save bookmarks with @margin.at, file them in collections created with @semble.so, and both bookmarks and collections are visible in Margin and in Semble
Oh, and if either Margin or Semble shut down, this wouldn't impact my data
All of this dark magic is only possible thanks to AT Proto

Permissioned data is one of the biggest additions to the protocol since launch and we're determined to get it right. @dholms.at has a characteristically thoughtful post to kick things off about why we're not building in end-to-end encryption for this phase.
daniel 🫠 @dholms.at
hey we're really working on permissioned data! read the first in a series of posts i'll be doing about our design decisions along the way. this one is about our decision to not do an e2ee system

Permissioned Data Diary 1: To Encrypt or Not to Encrypt
we just rolled out an experimental integration with @germnetwork.com, an E2E encrypted chat app that integrates with atproto.
Germ users can add a button to their profile so others can message them from Bluesky.
we're exploring ways to connect your profile with other apps in the Atmosphere.

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Minnesota House DFL @mnhousedfl.bsky.social
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."
"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*."
Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail
