Two wiki authors and a blogger walk into a bar… What can wikis offer blogging, and vice versa, particularly in a decentralised collective intelligence environment?

I publish a lot of my blog posts like they're wikis, and the people editing it are all me, but me at different times.

Here's the pattern: mathewlowry.medium.com/two-wiki-aut....

An academic research infrastructure stack is forming on ATProto. Researcher identity, decentralized eprints, scientific publishing, linguistic annotation standards, knowledge discovery, AI hypothesis generation β€” separate layers, one protocol.

Everyone is a comms expert. Just ask them.

This reminds me of the confusion I and a few others felt when using leaflet. Forever sharing edit links, not view links!

Simple sites, powerful communities | Mathew Lowry Have you heard about the latest social network? It's called the World Wide Web! Bear with me... 20y ago we built online communities on our own websites... and then outsourced them to Facebook and Twi...

So I just went and did it...

Had some thoughts on this last year, but we never figured out how to make trendlines usable with the numbers involved...

Love this. Super important to make custom feeds as simple to use as possible.

Standard.site - One schema. Every platform. Standard.site provides shared lexicons for long-form publishing on AT Protocol. Making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere.

Yeah I woke up this morning with a LinkedIn post fully formed in my head, starting with "Have you heard about the latest social network? It's called the World Wide Web!"

And if I manage to not mention standard.site or atprotocol, someone might actually see it.

part of our theory of change for enabling new forms of collective intelligence at @cosmik.network: creating positive feedback loops to elicit the "beneath the iceberg" sense-making signals, like what articles you've been reading/enjoying

Agreed. Also: add a collective synthesis process and ensure the outcome (& its authors) get visibility. Because a collection of knowledge is good, but a summary sitting on top makes it more applicable.

Even better: allow different people to publish their synthesis of the same collection.

We are excited for the upcoming #ATmosphereConf and now the @atproto.science talks are up to get specifically excited about.

Simple sites but powerful communities - MyHub Experiments Wiki

ATScience 2026 Agenda - ATScience Notes Join us for a full-day of scientific explorations on the AT Protocol

Agreed. In fact we're doing a little event cocreation experiment (hey, we're scientists!).

So check out the detailed agenda, comment and share your thoughts, and we'll make sure the speaker is notified:

I've always wanted to understand "the Mastodon API problem". In a nutshell:

"The fediverse built its federation layer on an open standard, but left the client layer to be captured by its dominant provider. The more tools and integrations that get built on top ... the deeper the lock-in becomes."

100% agree. Not that they need to build and run infra themselves - there are plenty of ways to finance that.

Happy Birthday, Blogactiv! | MyHub.AI

Launched a blogging platform for EurActiv (EU-focused media), was an formative experience for me. We had no EC funding but the eurosceptics immediately declared it a Covert Opp 🀣.

Any institutional association is a deathkiss imho.
