Very neat idea. I love how decoupled React is from the different renderers, and how well its paradigm of "render a tree of things that updates as state changes" translates to different kinds of UIs

I was going to upgrade my iPhone when the 14 came out, but when I found out about this I decided I could wait another year It's insulting that I can charge my MacBook and iPad with a USB-C cable, but still have to carry an extra cable

It's structured very differently from Mastodon. Please stop repeating this meme without any firsthand knowledge

Thanks for weighing in It's disappointing to hear that follower-only/circles (whitelisted viewers) posts are basically incompatible with the current protocol. I'd hoped something could be done where the post content was encry

(Saying this as an excited bluesky user and someone who really really hopes all of this succeeds long-term) I think possibly their biggest challenge ahead will be making parts of it non -public. Private mutes/blocks, having some analo

Cultural pressure means political pressure and eventually that works its way through the system. It may be blunt and slow, but it gets there eventually.

Again, it's a strict improvement over what came before (centrally-managed namespace), and it lumps bsky's problem in with the existing place where the web is already wrestling with these questions. It hitches its cart to the world

Yep! Bluesky's solution to many of Twitters problems and controversies is "give people the tools to solve them how they want to for themselves"

The same is true if you use a custom domain for email, for your company's servers, for any number of other critical things. It's no different (and arguably those other things are more catastrophic than losing control of a social m

The people on bluesky are not actually upset about the "hellthreads", they're mostly reveling and laughing about it. It's a fun piece of chaos, feels very early-internet

You can have a nice centralized layer over a robust decentralized back-end, which people only have to use if things go south. And then that will keep the big players more honest, because users can just leave when they don't like what t

a) You could say this about any communication channel- the web, email lists, group chats, in-person meetings. Should we require a moderator in every social sphere? b) Personally I think butting heads and being outraged by what others are

Another very cool decision they made for AT Protocol/Bluesky is making user identity domain name-based. So you can just sign up as a subdomain of eg .bsky.social, but you can also bring in a custom domain name. This neatly solves ide

My experience begs to differ

There's a layer of data and interaction that exists at the application level right now. I don't know exactly where the line is drawn between the two, but I think eg. likes might be at the bsky level right now (while posts themselv

Bluesky made some key decisions that are different from Mastodon: - Profiles and posts are portable across hosted instances. If you have a problem with your admins, etc, you'll be able to hop away without much fuss. - Moderation is dec

There's an underlying protocol (AT protocol), and then there's the Bluesky app that's built on top of it (and has its own public API, etc). Only the Bluesky layer requires authentication (and is therefore gated behind closed

You could definitely build a read-only one; only account creation and the things that go with it are invite-only, the rest is already public and distributed. I don't know of a client like you describe existing yet, but I could use the

People have released multiple open-source alt clients (mostly in beta states, because it hasn't been very long). I've played with the API myself and it's really quite easy to use, especially with an SDK (there's an offic

This is common here in Austin too. I don't usually mind; paying on my phone from the table is more convenient for everybody than waiting in a line to order, and if you're with friends you don't have to figure out splitting th

I've been wondering what the limits of the user-based pricing actually are If it's just the number of people who can go in the UI and press the button (when it automatically gets deployed from git anyway), or change env secrets, c

It might be. It was eg a first-class part of React's Server Components design/rollout strategy The question is exactly what would happen if it lost its backing, even if it wouldn't outright fail: - Meta forks it and/or t
