How does Bluesky compare to Mastodon? (Other than letting you register S3 as your user handle)

Here's how I think about it: * ActivityPub -> AT Protocol ( https://atproto.com/ ) * Mastadon -> Bluesky ( https://blueskyweb.xyz/ ) Right now, federation is not turned on for the Bluesky instance. There are differences in both, however. I'm not going to speak about my impressions of the Mastadon vs Bluesky teams because frankly, Mastadon never really caught on with me, so they're probably biased. ('they' being my im…

Thank you for the overview!

For those not getting the context(like me), this seems to be about the Bluesky Social( https://bsky.app/ ), a twitter alternative.

Sometimes it feels like companies fund weak competitors to discourage / drown out competition.

Microsoft funded Apple to keep another OS vendor alive, so it's not about discouragement. It's probably a lot cheaper to fund a competitor than paying the gov't and getting tagged as a recognized monopoly

This was both funny and ironic at the same time.

Upon clicking reply fastidiously, i got the hn 429

"Sorry, we're not able to serve your requests this quickly."

Aren’t federated services grand?

yah that's fine, but the replication to other domains does no good for the typical user on the web who only has a link to the original URL, clicks it, sees an error page, and then clicks away

It does not use a proof of stake or proof of work blockchain, though, so depending on how you use the words "crypto" and "blockchain," it either is or is not those things.

Yes. I agree with the FAQ. But I have heard decent arguments (that I disagree with) regarding what "blockchain" means by people I respect, and so I want to be respectful of that.

Isn't HN pretty small? This post has <400 upvotes over 3 hours. There can't be 1000x that amount of lurkers can there?

I can provide some statistics myself.

I understand. In my view it will be important to have a fediverse URL protocol so that these links are not aimed at the original domain, and instead open at your home server, or in a mobile app connected to the home server.

I guess I'm not too surprised in that, unlike domain names, these aren't obviously exposed to end users, so terseness doesn't particularly matter. Verbose and descriptive is honestly better for most names.

And given that bucket names are a giant shared namespace, there's absolutely an incentive toward lots of prefixing to help ensure you get the ones you want.

A while back I made one with a name like "postgresbackups" and was floored to realise later it was a global name.
