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.

I think the linked blogpost is the first time I've seen that URL used anywhere user-facing. (other than the status page) bsky. is already used for other user-facing URLs though.

Bluesky’s attitude seems logical and their reasoning aligns with my thoughts exactly. If techdirt’s article is to be believed, Dorsey’s departure has to do with going from an extreme to an extreme—from a traditional social monolith to a pure protocol—whereas Bluesky chose to pursue not only the protocol, but also “the app” as the face of that protocol for the ordinary user, and let’s face it: the ordinary user does n…

What's your issue with invite-only periods? Is there a better way to throttle signups while you scale a system early on?

Being left out of a centralized platform at launch is a big deal. Lack of federation suggested they are not serious about the protocol part, as if it is a second-class crutch and at best a gimmick to attract nerds to another centralized platform. The techdirt interview seems to indicate otherwise, though.

> Bluesky is lefty twitter now and I want no business with that platform. I love hearing people say this, because in reality Bluesky covers most of the political dimensions one wants to subdivide a population by except the most toxic of participants. Also, most of the academics have moved to Bluesky because Twitter became toxic / suppressed speech dramatically and at the whims of one Mr. Musk. As per usual, where the…

> Twitter became toxic / suppressed speech dramatically But what kind of speech is supressed nowadays on X? what about Bluesky? does Bluesky not supress any speech?

> But what kind of speech is supressed nowadays on X?

Is there even a way to find out, considering their main feed is a product of opaque suggestion algorithm and very few use the Following timeline as the main mode?

> what about Bluesky? does Bluesky not supress any speech?

The end-user is put in charge of that and by default it’s a chronological feed, I believe, which means no suppression unless it’s something illegal in US (CSAM, links to CSAM, etc.) and Bluesky could be held responsible for distrubuting that stuff.

Have you found a decent bare bones starter theme? I've been using MkDocs Material, and I find the theme too complicated (HTML etc) - hoping to find a super simple one that looks decent - plain - and is a good base for theming / styling. Thanks & take care.

I use the readthedocs theme: https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/choosing-your-theme/#readt... Not sure if that fits the bill for you, but I like it.

This looks interesting - thank you!
