Conversations about AT Protocol and the open social web with the people working to build a better internet. Brought to you by the Bluesky DevRel team.
Jim and Alex are live with the first live episode under the new Off Protocol name. Protocol meetups are happening everywhere, Alex and Jim were both in Portland, the Ozone moderation tool has some new features, and Bluesky is considering an edit button. Plus a few of your questions.
Bluesky CTO Paul Frazee and Head of Protocol Daniel Holmgren join for a wide-ranging conversation about what atproto is, why it exists, how it got built, and where it's going next. From a Twitter consultancy to an IETF working group, this is where to get started.

Rishi Balakrishnan joins to talk about the work that went into building Acorn, Blacksky's new platform for creating moderated communities on atproto — and why the landing page never mentions a PDS.
