It seems WSocial is becoming paranoia and thinks an organisation is behind the flood of 'attacks' against WSocial since their beta release. In fact, it is their own fault for constantly spreading lies, lacking transparency (e.g., closed source, poor or non-existent communication, etc.), and failing to acknowledge their own mistakes.

>You read our minds 😏 we'll share more soon!

>We want to make it easier for creators to link out and attract financial support, so we're exploring a new feature that lets you add links on your profile. They show up as buttons under your bio.
Links to support pages like Ko-fi, Patreon, or Buy Me a Coffee get a special green support button with the provider's logo. Any other link gets a gray button with the site's icon. You can add up to 10, give each a short title, and drag them into the order you want.
A green button could also be added to link cards on posts.
Would you add links to your profile? What would you link to? Any other feedback about this idea?

>Hello World from the PLC organization (plcred.org)!
The org was soft-announced back in March at AtmosphereConf. We've been working through logistics step by step and now have a public web presence we can point to.

>in the Privacy and Security section of the Bluesky app settings, you have the option of requiring others to be logged in to view your posts.
when enabled, this breaks link preview cards — e.g. if you share your post link somewhere else, the link card won't appear. that's not great, so i propose...
that we change this so the setting no longer breaks link cards. that means the post content might appear in the link card. everything else remains the same.
how do people feel about this?

>We're pleased to announced that atmosphereconf.org organizing is underway! We hope you'll join us in Europe, in late April 2027!
In the meantime, you can subscribe to get updates and read about our initial organizing team.

>made a post in the atmosphere developer forum about timelines for rolling out spaces (aka permissioned data) and community groups to the full network.
tl;dr: a couple more months of iteration and prep, then major PDS operators could coordinate to go "general availability" around mid-November

>v1.132 is live!
Starter Packs are one of the best ways to find new people to follow—but how do you find the Starter Packs?
As of today, look for them right in the main search box. You'll see the results under the Starter Packs tab.
We know not everyone wants to be featured in someone else's Starter Pack, so we're making it easier to opt out. Just open the Starter Pack, tap the three-dot icon at the top of the page, and select "Opt out of Starter Pack."

>I want your trending topics feedback!
How are you feeling about Bsky's trending topics these days? Does the mix of topics feel interesting or lopsided? Is it fun or annoying when ~online discourse~ is included? Do you find yourself getting intrigued and clicking through or no? How could we improve?

>with a bit of perspective, I wanted to write this post which reintroduces spaces as a new primitive for atproto!
spaces are a deeply social & "atmospheric" primitive & I kinda think they uniquely thread the needle on our design goals
