pretty cool: deer.social configured to point to a self-hosted bsky appview which reads from a self-hosted relay which subscribes to a self-hosted PDS which is where this "hello world" post originated it's bluesky independent from bluesky

do you still have to use bsky's auth to run a relay like this?

"bsky's auth"? could you clarify?

I suspect this person is referring to plc.directory, slightly telephone gamed

hm this document has too much jargon for me to understand, can you explain how this works if you have a second? i know you're probably busy lol

They want to move it to an independent foundation in the future, so that way there’s more separation. Or maybe also some alternatives too. But it’s one of the things that’s hardest to swap out with your own. Not technically, but socially. What if two versions of the service disagree on who is who!
