the entire architecture is like if you started with the typical architecture for social network, but then got rid of the organizational perimeters. the atproto instances (PDSes) handle primary data storage, key management, and request routi

We used to retain post history, but that’s been removed with repo v3. We prioritized taking media down ages ago. If anything like that is still happening, it’d be CDN cache and I’d have to pester the backend team to make sure it’s being cle

We know about these. We have mitigations planned. We don’t think they’re cause for huge alarm. Bluesky posts have a rich text system, which means links in posts are similar to anchor tags. It’s not a markup; it’s a way to annotate slices of

It’s a waitlist plus invite codes given to users. We have had only a vague influence over who joined.

I’m concerned about the transaction cost variability that we’ve seen with ethereum.

The DID method has to satisfy a lot of requirements. I did a ton of research on DHT and blockchain approaches and none of them give the right performance, reliability, and cost outcomes while also supporting key rotation. DNS isn't far

You'll store it on your own device, or on another service. I don't understand this criticism; where else do people back up their data?

Okay well. I work on Bluesky and helped build the AT Protocol. I'm sorry Sam differs with us on this, and I'm glad that Activity Pub is already there for him. However, Sam doesn't understand the ATProto very well and I want t

I created a rich text system for posts to handle things like links and mentions with the eventual goal of it being the basis for all kinds of rich text (bolding, italics, spoiler tags, etc) the flexibility bit us on the butt. people started

That must be relatively new - I read every registered spec last summer. I’ll give it a look, thanks for the pointer

Services will cache the mapping and probably give the old mapping until the cache gets updated. On a failed mapping, I suppose it'll fall back to the DID like you say unless we cook up a better answer.

Ah sure, that could be confusing -- though I believe Twitter allows you to change your handle as well. We could probably try to let people know when a handle changes, but we'll wait to see if it causes a problem before we get into it.

We use DIDs to avoid NIHing everything (we already NIHed enough) but weren't pleased with any of the DID methods available, and are currently using did:web for self-hosters and then a registry for non-self-hosters that we're run

Yep. The DID is kind of like an internal UUID, so we don't have to show it to them often. The three cases off the top of my head where you'll care 1. You're setting your own domain handle, in which case you're putting it

Every account gets identified by a DID which is long-lived but not human readable. Records use them instead of domains for links/follows/etc. That's how domain-name changes or debindings avoid causing issues.

The organization is a future adversary. You build the technology knowing you won’t be staying at the company forever, and you signpost the things that protect users / your-future-self. This includes open sourcing everything, moving spe

Youre thinking of the Torment Nexus. The Terror Nexus was a sequel by the author’s son that most people don’t consider canon.

Possibly nowhere. Advertisers reduce ad-spend when recessions are in the air.

What you're missing is the effect of brand visibility on people's internal thought processes. When you see something regularly, you internally gain a sense of permanence about the item as if it's a naturally-occurring part of

Just to counter balance the anecdata, I’m in my mid 30s and have lots of parties in my life. It’s entirely due to my friend group.

These kinds of edicts don't work because they fail the most important rule of programming: do what's simplest and most clear for the code you're writing. Your language is going to have constructs for this kind of thing (polym
