Jim sits down with members of the core team building and governing Standard.site, the shared Lexicon for publishing longform writing on atproto.

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.

With AtmosphereConf 2026 wrapped, Boris Mann and Ted Han join to talk about what the gathering surfaced in the ecosystem. From the IETF working group, the move beyond a single foundation, to a growing layer of co-ops, regional meetups, and independent stewards.

Daniel Roe, Matias Capeletto, and Zeu join to discuss how their frustration with JavaScript packaging went from a Bluesky post to one of the most successful new community-led projects on the protocol.
