TriadCity Message of the Day
2024-12-07

SmartMonsters, swept up in the current, has joined the rapidly-growing social media platform Bluesky. Please meet us there and help us figure out what to do with the thing.

Unlike earlier microblogging systems, Bluesky originated specifically as a technology proving ground for a new approach which its founders call the "AT Protocol" (for "Authenticated Transfer Protocol"): a mechanism for decentralizing user accounts and federating them across multiple independent systems. This is less geeky than it sounds, and, as long-time online game developers it interests us for the way it parallels a very old dream of MUD players and authors: the ability to move characters seamlessly between multiple virtual worlds. Bluesky of course has taken off in the last few months as users dissatisfied with the evolution of X/Twitter stream there in increasingly massive numbers. Granted our emphasis on non-visual experiences we've chosen to go there with them — in our case as alternative to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, SnapChat and other platforms where imagery and video are central to the experience.

Please join us! 'Cos, we really have no idea what we're doing! Hopefully you can help us figure it out.

Meanwhile, meet you in the City!
