Definitely dreaming of systems like this for BlueSky.
It's amazing that speech is finally really free, that there's no network gatekeepers blocking hobbyists and researchers from understanding & working with speech.
Watching the web 2.0 world collapse as APIs shutters or got absurdly expensive, watching the remaining players withdraw availability ongoingly: man that was sad. That was such an anti- inter-networking tragedy that I was not prepared for.
We can start to see the threads intertwine again. Thanks to protocols not platforms.
- nonplus 2y agoI guess I see Blue sky/at protocol as just another platform. ActivityPub is truly federated with multiple platforms. Maybe I'm not giving BS a fair shake, but that's been my view.
- bbor 2y agoI don’t think I can argue the full thing myself, but FWIW, they don’t see AT as a less-free counterpart. The general idea is that they’re offering OSS data that any host can consume, rather than a network of decentralized hosts. Kinda cleverly elegant, IMO!
