atproto

atproto Ever tried drinking from a firehose? That's what it can feel like consuming the full stream of posts on Bluesky and the AT Protocol (atproto), a decentralized social media protocol that's generating a lot of data.
In this talk, we'll explore atproto's firehose: a real-time stream of every post, like, and follow happening on the network. Think of it like Kafka, but for social media. We'll dig into how to tap into that stream using Python, make sense of the data, and avoid getting soaked in the process.
Feel free to bring your own food and drinks. No laptop required, but bring one if you want to follow along!
