Three weeks ago I wrote "How decentralized is Bluesky really?" dustycloud.org/blog/how-dec...

I have written my (final) response blogpost: dustycloud.org/blog/re-re-b...

And as last time, 🧵. Buckle up.

Every public action on Bluesky is available via a stream of events known as the firehose. By monitoring the firehose for repeated text, it is sometimes possible to quickly detect groups of spam accounts as they spawn.

More bad news for the Muskrat.
This is going to be a huge hit to his already ruined social media site.
I love this for him.

Should I rebuild my app on BlueSky’s AT Protocol? Six years ago, I built a podcast app called Podyssey . It’s like Goodreads but for podcasts ie) users recommend their favourite episodes on the app. However, I haven't updated the app in a couple of y...

I've been thinking about rebuilding my app on the AT Protocol, so I did a deep dive into what that would look like: taddy.org/blog/indie-d...

Would love to know if you have any comments or feedback.

Bluesky COO Rejects Idea Upstart Social App Is ‘Left-Leaning’ Bluesky, the upstart social network that has emerged as a rival to Elon Musk’s X, has seen a flood of new users since Donald Trump’s US election victory last month, leading some users to view it as po...

if you ever want to stare into the internals of how Bluesky (or the underlying protocol, the "AT Protocol") works, pdsls.dev is a very cool website that can show you anything on the network

try finding yourself, "at://[your handle]" (e.g. at://invoxiplaygames.uk)

**This Website is Hosted on Bluesky**

This weekend I found myself digging through the AT Protocol specifications and the Bluesky Personal Data Server (PDS) implementation. In doing so, I discovered that I could setup a website that is fully hosted on Bluesky.

How Decentralized Is Bluesky Really? dustycloud.org/blog/how-dec...

A technical deep-dive, since people have been asking me for my thoughts. I'll expand a bit on some of the key points here in a thread. 🧵

SwearSky Bluesky profanity, as it happens

Anyway…

Here’s a visualization of all the curse words being used on Bluesky in real time.

Each word is a cute fluffy little profane cloud.

It’s oddly soothing.

hi bluesky, my PDS runs on a playstation 4

για όσους θέλετε news accounts:

έφτιαξα ένα μποτάκι που μαζεύει news από 20 περίπου sites/rss feeds @newsbotgr.bsky.social

Προς το παρόν θα τρέχει κάθε 3-4 ώρες και θα ποστάρει αυτόματα με κάποιο delay για να μη σπαμάρει.

Η "επανάσταση" έχει ήδη γίνει, είναι τα πρωτόκολλα που επιτρέπουν τη δημιουργία αποκεντρωμένων κοινωνικών δικτύων. Το συγκεκριμένο μαγαζί ισχυρίζεται ότι αναπτύσσει ένα καλύτερο πρωτόκολλο. Ωστόσο, ανεξάρτητα από τους ισχυρισμούς του, υπάρχουν ήδη πρωτόκολλα που έχουν υλοποιηθεί και λειτουργούν.

Ναι Κώστα, το πως λειτουργεί το σύστημα το γνωρίζουμε όλοι. Ευχαριστούμε πολύ.

Το Bluesky, είναι ένα "μαγαζί" που ισχυρίζεται ότι θα δώσει τη δυνατότητα στον κόσμο να δημιουργεί παρόμοια "μαγαζιά" εύκολα και ανεξάρτητα. Ακόμη κι αν δεν πετύχει το Bluesky, υπάρχουν ήδη λύσεις όπως το Mastodon που λειτουργούν αποκεντρωμένα και αποδεικνύουν ότι το μοντέλο μπορεί να δουλέψει.

Α ρε Κώστα, επιμένεις στις γενικότητες χωρίς να προσπαθείς να ενημερωθείς καλύτερα. Στον καπιταλισμό, οι παραγωγικές δυνάμεις μπορούν και υπερβαίνουν τις υπάρχουσες παραγωνικές σχέσεις. Αυτό ακριβώς βλέπουμε και στα αποκεντρωμένα κοινωνικά δίκτυα.

I made a real-time word cloud of 100 most popular words used by people on Bluesky in the last 5 seconds bluesky100.rakhim.org

'good' and 'love' are consistently in the top most of the time!
