What is there to respond to? "This thing may happen at some point in the future" isn't insight or commentary. I can formulate a response, but it's already required more thought and effort than you seemed to have put into your comment. Engagement farming and bait isn't what HN is generally for.

  I just cannot imagine being this upset about someone else doing something they enjoyed that hurt no one. This is pure gatekeeping at its finest. It's a cool use of technology! Maybe this is Bobby's first API. Why the need to tell Bobby that you're too cool to appreciate it? As the opening of the OP points out, this has very little to do with ${new_propaganda_platform} as you so dismissively put it. They're self-hosting their site on a protocol not intended to exactly do that! That's cool even if you've been able to do that since whenever you discovered you could do that. They don't seem to be doing any of the things you're throwing at them as negatives. They're not saying this is the future of the internet or something everyone should do or forcing all their friends onto it. It's just an interesting demonstration of the underlying tech of a protocol and what you can do with it. If you seem to think people talking online about their joy about technology and the things they can do about it is "shit spewing" onto your beloved "WWW" then I'm not sure why you're here. You definitely don't seem like you actually read any part of the OP you're "shit spewing" all over.

      This is a pretty pitiful comment. It fails (again) to actually make any salient points (what “propaganda platform” are you talking about? How did you reach that conclusion? Based on what?) and instead just does the “anti-interest negativity dance” that so many edgelords are into these days.

        It sounds like they don't even understand Bluesky or the OP. OP is certainly not recommending hosting serious websites from Bluesky's arbitrary blob storage, as though it's the "hot newness." This was a fun blog post exploring something that resembles a hole in Bluesky's defenses if anything.
