I would be very curious how exactly this is being said and if it is just simply stating an "opinion" or if it is being used as a way to attack people and purposefully start a fight.

whats wrong with an argument?

This is not an argument or a discussion. That would require two parties willingly engaging. This is someone trolling and simply being hurtful/aggressive for kicks. I don't know if the BlueSky moderators are banning such accounts but it's an insta-block from me.

Bluesky is decentralized and has no central algorithm, so I'm not sure where you're getting this misinformation from. I'm happy to be shown otherwise.

A PDS can refuse to host someone's data, an App View can refuse to serve content or specific users.

But, being decentralized, they cannot "remove them from the platform" depending on how we define this phrase

Being removed by Bluesky can certainly happen, in the sense that most people who are unaware ATProto is different from what came before, think about these things.

I too would like to see such claims backed up. Too many flags being planted to stake out ideological territory...

I actually did not know about what happened with Discord. I mean I think its still a cool concept but no reason to rely on it.

Especially when its so easy and cheap to store something in S3 and stick a domain in front of it for example.

I'm very hopeful for the possibility of using bluesky for blob data. A friend and I had considered looking into storing DOOM WADs on bluesky so that "map packs" could be shared in the same way posts are. Follow an account, a list, or a starter pack, and you could theoretically modify GZDoom or some other client to know how to search and view any WADs posted by those accounts. Like how the Steam Workshop works, except…

This is a cool idea, are you thinking of self-hosting this or on their servers? Have they mentioned anything about any guidelines for what their blob storage can be used for? I know doom is small and that's a great idea, a workshop is a perfect example of how this can be used. I'm just wondering if this can be abused to outsource large server space.

Look into Lexicon on https://atproto.com

You can define custom records for basically anything

A PDS would be a point in the network that decides if abuse is happening, also a place where competition can occur

Bluesky seems to use a lot of totally different domain names for each part of their infrastructure, maybe for this reason. e.g. this one is bsky.network While they're nowhere close on volume, they're certainly beating microsoft in terms of the rate they're adding similar looking official URLs.

> bsky.network Shortening your brand to 4 letters when your chosen TLD is the same length as your full brand name is such a weird choice.

This is why you and I aren't in charge of marketing I reckon.

They said in their official statement[1] that it was to "block malware" but clearly they did not want to serve file traffic off-site. And yes I am very much in favour of using S3 or at least some file hosting service to dump the files where it's their job to do so. I am not sure why they were all using a chat application's file hosting as a CDN with gleeful abandon.

This is a pretty pitiful comment. It fails (again) to actually make any salient points (what “propaganda platform” are you talking about? How did you reach that conclusion? Based on what?) and instead just does the “anti-interest negativity dance” that so many edgelords are into these days.

It sounds like they don't even understand Bluesky or the OP. OP is certainly not recommending hosting serious websites from Bluesky's arbitrary blob storage, as though it's the "hot newness." This was a fun blog post exploring something that resembles a hole in Bluesky's defenses if anything.

There is nothing wrong with an argument, but as the other person said this is not really being posted just for the sake of having an argument. On topics like this neither side cares what the other has to say because they have made up their mind.

This isn't like saying "Mexican is the best food". Which sure may get a bit heated but at the end of the day is a personal opinion argument.

Attempting to "argue" about someone else's life, who's existence doesn't impact you in the slightest, isn't an argument that deserves to happen. At the very least not in a public space and not without expecting the repercussions of it happening.
