Personally I would prefer no violence from either side…

That is about to change very, very soon though: https://dholms.leaflet.pub

Rudy from Blacksky set up their own copy of Tangled without Tangled guys even knowing about it, so it would look to me like it is self-hostable: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:w4…

I don't think there's a good reason to call the creators of Tangled "libertarian dickheads", tbh.

I don't think they fall under DMA at this size yet?

> At that time, the company was valued at $2 billion. Hello bubble. Then in maybe one of the best rug pulls of all time, in July they quietly changed their revenue projections to $…

They read the content cached from the AppView, not directly from the PDS

Yeah, there are tens of thousands of records referencing a PDS with a certain… controversial president's name in the hostname, which doesn't actually exist at all. Also someone fro…

Honestly I was really confused about this too…

You're free to set up your own PDS (which is super easy) and use Bluesky through it, and it works just fine (or even better if the PDS is close to you)

Thanks, will have a read :)

https://www.blackskyweb.xyz - it's the black people community on Bluesky, they started first with some custom feeds and blocklists/labeller, now they have a PDS and relay, and they…

Sorry, I keep mixing these - bytes instead of scalars, which I think would be more natural to iterate over in most languages (at least the ones I use).

Hmm… Yeah, I guess each language does it kinda differently. At least Ruby also does it similarly like Python. > I’m confused here. You established indexing is by UTF-8 code unit, t…

You've just described Anubis, yeah

The problem is that 7 + 2 on a submission form only affects people who want to submit something, Anubis affects every user who wants to read something on your site

I don't think that Matrix chat was used much after the initial months, I've only really heard about it in legends... That Discord (the ATProto Touchers) is community-run.

I'm not really familiar with that layer of things, but I think it's possible, though that "just" is doing a lot of work here of course, and I think it might not necessarily be a go…

So, one big problem is that there's basically no way to have shared-private data in the protocol - it's either private to you, or fully public. Hence no "locked accounts", "followe…

Anything "social" basically - the first ideas that come to people's minds are of course things like: GitHub but on ATProto, Instagram on ATProto, Tiktok on ATProto, Reddit on ATPro…

For now mostly just small things that the Bluesky dev/user community is playing with, but check out e.g. Tangled which is meant to be a GitHub alternative on ATProto: https://tangl…

That's funny, because the team is also regularly accused of being "libertarian tech bros"

From what they say, it is a lot, but it's generally on the order of a few hundreds of connections total at the moment
