Wed, May 27, 10:00 PM UTC Welcome to The Atmosphere Sessions, where I, your host (that’s me, Bryan Guffey aka @chaosgreml.in), sit down with the people who make the Atmosphere resonate, and get them to talk about things you didn’t know you needed to know, making us all feel a little more, well, connected. Our fifth episode features our first duo! Chris Shank (@chrisshank.com) of @libcomp.org and @folkjs.org, as well as Tyler Lawson (@tyler.fun), who mysteriously only calls himself “a web dev in la” 🧐 Of course, I know Chris and Tyler best as the better 2/3 of the three-headed hydra that is the leadership of ATProto Los Angeles, aka @atproto.la, one of over twenty local ATProto user groups that have popped up all over the world, accelerating especially after AtmosphereConf 2026 in Vancouver, BC. This will be a fun one, because I could talk to these two for hours about almost anything. What will we end up talking about? Probably some of the following: - ATproto as a “post-app” protocol - what “ownership” means when it comes to social data - how to get comedians on atproto - which atproto luminary Chris lives by - why Tyler doesn’t look much like his profile pic - atproto and sports and surely several more very silly things. Don’t miss it - this will be a blast!
