- nutanc 2y agoAgreed. I assume this will open up Bluesky to a lot of potential legal problems. But will it be any different from accesing the content using the app as the content is anyway hosted. That said, just the other day I was thinking, is the reverse possible. I have a web site/blog. Use RSS and then the RSS updates are posted to a handle on Bluesky. I would assume that's a lot more useful?

I would assume that's a lot more useful? This is trivial, I'm currently doing this for https://bsky.app/profile/aemet-bot.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/aemet-bot.bsky.social which reads a bunch of RSS feeds from AEMET (Spain's national weather service basically) and posts warnings to the feed if there is any warning above Yellow. The code for managing this is about ~200 lines of Rust code.
- nutanc 2y agoThis is cool. Actually if bluesky can do this automatically where it can fetch RSS and show as handle updates it will be really useful. Will help a bunch of people who wouldn't need to maintain the services. Or maybe there is a potential for a SaaS service?
- skiman10 2y agoDo you have that code posted somewhere by chance? I would be interested in browsing through it!
- diggan 2y agoNot right now, no. It's fairly simple (login to Bluesky, read RSS, save item IDs to a text file, post if there are any new feed items, close program then systemd timers run this every N minutes) + pretty specific to AEMET and their formats. If there is interest I guess I could spend some hours to make it a bit more generic and publish the source.
- skiman10 2y agoCool yeah. I think the thing I was most interested in was interacting with Bluesky through rust. Is there a decent sdk for that?
- diggan 2y agoThe meat is this, using bsky-sdk + atrium-api from crates: let agent = BskyAgent::builder().build().await?; agent .login("username.bsky.social", "X") .await?; let rt = RichText::new_with_detect_facets(msg).await?; let record = RecordData { text: rt.text, created_at: atrium_api::types::string::Datetime::now(), facets: rt.facets, }; agent.create_record(record).await?; Works well enough. It's a bit on the lower end of the "abstraction ladder", there might be more user-friendly libraries for doing this even easier now.
- thesuitonym 2y agoHow is this any different than the regular hole of content moderation they're already in?
- chefandy 2y agoI don’t have a well-considered answer, but a) I imagine being able to host a phishing site on an official domain from them using their SSL cert is problematic, and b) my gut says that as soon as you start hosting arbitrary files— e.g. zip files— and browser executable JavaScript with your domain in there, that’s a different level of possible content. I guess the question is whether or not the disposition of a social media network makes that more problematic than it does with, say, Google drive.
- preciousoo 2y agoIt’s not possible for me, a non Google employee to create a file that’s hosted on Google.com, or any Google domain and have it read in the browser as text/html, bypassing many a firewall, for example
- edm0nd 2y agoYes it is. Via sites.google.com or Google Docs. These are abused all the time for phishing and malicious threat actors.
- pfraze 2y agoAs opposed to running a social network? What else is new
