- riffic 5y agolol, they may have just hired you on, Paul, but the project as a whole is vaporware. It deserves a healthy amount of criticism and skepticism. A community is a generous thing to call a bunch of Discord channels. Twitter Inc could have had a seat at the table with the W3C federated social web peeps but decided to ignore everything and do its own thing. In 2008, Evan Prodromou himself gave us something the cool kids will use anyway (the Fediverse), despite what gets cooked up at bs web <dot> xyz. EDIT: Bluesky is an embodiment of anti-competitive Not-Invented-Here Syndrome. It should be shunned. If you want to develop open protocols, the proper channels would be to play within the friendly confines of a group like the W3C. If you want to know how I really feel, I feel like Bluesky is destined to fail due to its untrustworthy origins (no offense to the people involved, Golda is an amazing person and has been doing her best so far).
- pfraze 5y agoWell, you might be right, but I’m going to do my best with it. My DMs are open on discord and Twitter if you want to chat, now that I am involved.
- smoldesu 5y agoI wish you luck with the project, but I have to agree with the other poster; all signs point towards vaporware. If they've just become funded as their own org, that says to me that some Twitter executives were willing to pay beaucoup bucks to put distance between themselves and the team they put together to decentralize their service. No legitimate interest in decentralizing a platform should have this many roadblocks.
