"skeet" is such a terrible term for this. It's like mastodon "toot"s. Using bodily functions as core infra terminology is off-putting and feels like a bit like a juvenile boy's club. I get that some people find it funny, but it alienates people. We should just call these "posts". Same thing with names like CockroachDB and GIMP.

Hard agree -- this one is especially bad because it's gendered. We'll see what happens, but I'd put my money on "post" winning out. There's some people on Bluesky who feel absurdly strong about this because of the history (the CEO asked them not to use it so they used it more often as a joke), but they're simply outnumbered already. Such is exponential growth...

In what sense?

It was a vague and negative one-liner, with no indication of what you were insinuating or why you think that way, from a brand new account.

If you spent 30 more seconds to expand on what history you were referring to and why you think history is repeating, it would not have been flagged.

Appreciated Daniel reaching out to the team about this! Hosting blobs is one of those things that will inevitably go through iterations as we understand the abuse vectors more and more, but for now it's really fun to see this kind of usage in action. The PDS is meant to be a database host in the same sense that a webserver is a website host.

Are you ever going to bring back Beaker Browser? Used to love playing around with that! Didn't realize you'd gone on to Bluesky, very neat.

No, just someone who spends too much time here and am familiar with the trends.

What's the license for the Bluesky data btw? Is it something free to mirror and train LLMs on?

Based on https://bsky.social/about/support/tos#user-content , I would answer yes. While it's not expressly called out (permitted or forbidden), my reading of the above would indicate that it's not forbidden per se, and probably permitted ("Modify or otherwise utilize User Content in any media. This includes reproducing, preparing derivative works, distributing, performing, and displaying your User Content."). I believe training an LLM falls under "utilize" and "preparing derivative works".

Congrats on finding a role at Bluesky. Beaker was such an amazing project to follow, that experience must be so useful.

Whenever I hear about Bluesky I think about Jack Dorsey quitting their board and asked people to stay on Twittet/X. https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/07/j...

What do you think about it?

What I remember about that whole affair is that I'd really respected Jack for starting Bluesky, allowing it to be independent of Twitter (and Jay deserves a heaping of credit for pushing that!), and then losing that respect when he seemed to totally misunderstand what Bluesky had gone on to achieve.

https://www.techdirt.com/2024/05/13/bluesky-is-building-the-...

Jack was pushing Nostr at the time which... seems ok if you're into that. But his arguments in his interview with Mike Solana really didn't make sense to me.
