"Over the past two years, we've put IPFS in the two hardest places to ship anything to in the solar system: space and web browsers." - @mosh.bsky.social 🔥

check this out I'm gonna make 90% of the people here break down crying and the remaining 10% will be like the westworld "it doesnt look like anything to me" robots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhGHerssyk4

real quick about when we open-source the app I am very excited to see contributions and I want to always honor the fact that you're giving time and energy to the community that said, please know in advance that we have a *lot* on our plates and it's going to be hard to give time to contributions

Pretty impressive the network didn’t suffer. Great post mortem!

@pfrazee.com livestream live now! :Dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6FBGfrXazw

:partyparrot:

Why the hell is the "what's hot" feed full of halloween pics? What did I miss? Had to check my calendar, thought I was going insane.

That's some good smut right there.

@pfrazee.com quick bug report, on web, search for anything, and while seeing the search results, click the search link on the menu.

@flancian.bsky.social bop.

I’m wonder how a multi-pds client could work. Something between nostr and bsky, but that would allow you to select which servers you post to. Once identity portability is a thing, what stops you from being in more than one pds at the same time? Is it just the plc directory or is there a repo limit?

Bluesky is currently feeling less like twitter and a lot more like 4chan; and I’m not sure how to feel about this. :p

Now that things are not as hush hush as they used to be, could we get a live stream with @pfrazee.com and @dholms.xyz ? Maybe once you guys are ready to share the federation design? cc @jay.bsky.team plx? 😍

“anarchy in the uk” true crime edition.

it’s amazing how people are still joining the hellthread/nerd rope this morning and then discovering, to their horror, that they can’t leave this is the most fun I’ve had on the internet since like 2014

utterly impossible not to visualize this when merkle trees come up

Bluesky in London. I guess the invite took a while to arrive.

Do we have any Londoners (the UK version) around? Might be fun to do something similar here. cc @sirodoht.bsky.social

> skeet /skit/ noun > the sport of shooting at clay pigeons that are hurled upward in such a way as to simulate the flight of a bird Just an fyi to newcomers who might be wondering wtf skeet.

hello bluesky 👋🏻

The signs of a good hellthread.

With the release of app passwords today, we’re excited to share an overview of the rapidly growing atproto developer ecosystem! https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/4-21-2023-atproto-developer-ecosystem

@pfrazee.com thank u or whoever did this 😭

Saint Works On My Device

Order a copy of my book on Amazon and you might get an Encyclopedia of Witchcraft instead. Somehow seems like an appropriate swap for a book on distributed systems…

Are you working on decentralized storage, peer-to-peer networking, distributed data availability, consensus protocols, advanced cryptography, or anything subversive at the forefront of decentralization technologies? Let us know and tell your friends: https://protocol.berlin

Just like our approach to algorithmic choice, our approach to moderation allows for an ecosystem of third-party providers. Moderation should be a composable, customizable piece that can be layered into your experience. https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/4-13-2023-moderation

working on last things needed for open launch rn

everyone flexing their hot domains they’ve had since 2003 but had no reason to use until now

Has anyone been to a dweb camp before? Trying to get a better understanding on whether it’s an actually tech event of more on the theory side of things. cc @pfrazee.com @why.bsky.world maybe?

I think the bigger issue is that there have been so many Twitter alternatives that people are giving up. I even did. But I wanted to check this one.

> A powerful world government has scientists transported from an overpopulated earth to a satellite on the eve of their discovery of a method to modify the human embryo. Pretty sure if this book was written today it would have been “ai researchers” instead of biologists or whatever.

twitter open-sourced its algorithm, thoughts? https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/open-source/2023/twitter-recommendation-algorithm

have checked it out! when naming the AT protocol, and first we were throwing around the name “self-certifying protocol”, and i was like hmmm SCP is maybe not what you want to name a decentralized protocol?

➡️Important News⬅️ Soon — possibly by Friday — we’re going to publish a new version of the app and protocol. You will see a screen telling you to update your app. No need to worry! Just update your app and everything will be fine!

I wish drinking 15 cups of coffee in a day didn’t cause demons to gnaw on every inch of my flesh. A shame really.

📢v1.8 is now on the App Store! The big update is there’s now a feed selector that includes your following feed and a “what’s hot” discovery feed. This is testing out part of the app that will eventually be: custom algorithms! More details…🧵

If you migrate your identity to a domain name, what happens to your bsky.social name? Does it become available for reuse or is it held for you to return to in the future?

I invited @hsoc.eu ! I think his only issue is that he can’t set a profile picture.

📢 Hey friends! We've got a Web app for you to try! https://staging.bsky.app/ This is an early staging build. There are lots of rough edges still and it only works on desktop, but it definitely works! Enjoy and let us know how it goes!

Posting from the web! staging.bsky.app @pfrazee.com it looks so nice!!!

I wrote up some thoughts about how Bluesky can/should support OAuth, both for applications to access users' accounts, as well as allowing users to log in to their bsky.social account using their own website!

Anyone saw this? 👀 Meta is also building a “decentralised twitter” interesting… https://www.platformer.news/p/meta-is-building-a-decentralized
