no thank you I actually like chatting over a websocket connection instead of having to refresh a page every two minutes

The og Nazis were also big fans of amphetamines actually

there have been many attempts but unfortunately the evangelicals control the banks/payment processors so it hasn’t happened

yeah that was my bad I might be a little stupid.

I got confused between the relay crawling pdses to store their records for retransmission vs an appview storing records for serving them to clients. Both involve processing similar (v large) amounts of data, but the latter is actually more expensive because you’re also transforming the data to make it useful to clients, so it’s still neat they got it working on a raspberry pi

They have said that in production, their appview takes up about 30 servers while the relay takes only one. Apologies for the rude tone of the post https://bsky.app/profile/why.bsky.team/post/3lku2o3n6es22

Can you explain what do you think “backfill” means in the context of the linked post?

Sorry if that sounds disrespectful but we kinda need to have shared definitions for stuff

Censorship requests from the Turkish government are only being applied in the official bluesky app. Third-party apps continue to show censored posts. Feels like that might be relevant

Several people have self hosted relays. Afaik nothing that anyone has used in “production”, everyone just uses the default one. I expect that will change as people figure it out, and trust in bsky pbc drops with things like the current Turkish censorship incident

The code to run a relay is here https://github.com/bluesky-social/indigo

I am functionally a pr dude for atproto (bluesky) on here because people repeat so much disinfo, and I have “someone is wrong on the internet syndrome” 😭

However, atproto and bluesky are still distinct and I am pretty appalled at a fair amount of bluesky’s recent decisions, esp this one

That’s only if you want to maintain a full archive. You don’t actually have to store a full archive to run a relay

That there are actually multiple relays. There’s no hard coded single relay, that would be ridiculous and idk why people keep repeating it

There is a hard coded relay in the official bluesky app, just like it has a hard coded moderation service. But both of those are changeable with third party appviews/clients

“americans” aren’t a regular army, they’re a dispersed civilian population and the us military historically actually has a lot of trouble with those

eh idk, maybe we’ll get a military coup and a new constitutional convention. We’ve been overdue for one since the last civil war

Well you guys gotta make an effort or you’ll find out first hand the difference between e.g. Ukraine and Russia. Or Taiwan and China

And also, the American people don’t actually have a button to protect themselves from the government

IP law is used to reinforce capital tho??

well, yeah? They have a very simple and elegant strategy called “starve the beast” that they’ve been trying to do for decades and this appears to be it

Purely hypothetically if musk were to become president would x then become a public website

I am betting it was already in that 40 page agreement you clicked when you singed up 😞
