Mm, where are we today? 

Time for the panel as hosted by [deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org](https://community.nodebb.org/user/deadsuperhero%40social.wedistribute.org) 

@julian There's like six attendees, not sure how much fun they are having...

@julian unfortunately, I think that’s true.

[dansup@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/dansup%40mastodon.social) is on stage now! Day 2 of FediCon begins... 

Man, the past 5 years 

Dan building up onboarding tools to directly counter instance paralysis. YES! 

Dan proposing some big ideas to solve AP problems with tech. Nice.  

@julian What makes you say that?

@julian

Thanks for sharing live(within the last 30 minutes) what happens

I can't speak for Julian, but I can talk about my impressions from @boris 's presentation.

He went through a dozen different apps running on the ATProto network that create custom data types and interactions and distribute them through the network. It's all happening on the client side, so these new apps aren't their own PDS servers; they can concentrate on cool client experience and leave the distribution up to the back end.

This is almost exactly parallel to the ActivityPub API. It was cool seeing recipes, check-ins, images, events all being created and managed by server less web clients.

It definitely reenergized me for focusing on the ActivityPub API.

@julian
Is there a video livestream?

No livestream, they're planning on putting the videos up on PeerTube later

[benpate@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/benpate%40mastodon.social) starting off with some Fediverse Potty Words 

"The Fediverse is a refuge because there are assholes in the world" 

[benpate@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/benpate%40mastodon.social) with the solutions   

High level overview of what we need to do to cross the chasm to reach the early adopters. 

A quick shout-out to [reiver@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/reiver%40mastodon.social) who is literally still doing conference org work during the conference. 

"The cells in the body are less important than the body itself." 

Am loving how [benpate@mastodon.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/benpate%40mastodon.social) is focusing on getting creators onto the fediverse. Important work to cross that chasm!
