I guess I'm honored that you feel like we weren't horrid. I have gotten a very positive impression from Toni so far, fwiw.

You are wrong about pretty much all of that, including your assumed reasoning for why this is happening. Jay chose to change her role so she could do deeper work on the technology. That's it.
67.
by pfraze 7mo ago
This move came from Jay so that she could focus more on the atproto ecosystem and forward looking development. Personally, I'm happy for her. The CEO role gets extremely wrapped up in operations & org building, and as a technologis

Oh just look them up on the app you have an account with (I believe bluesky). @rude1.blacksky.team

Can you describe what happens? That would be a pretty significant bug. Users are hosted all over the place and typically interact fine.

The way the protocol works, they're not isolated, and so they're not ceding ground to other groups. I suppose the closest analogy would be an email host, in that running your own email host wouldn't materially isolate your us

I actually don't think Blacksky reflects any kind of cultural purging cycle. Blacksky is extremely practical in its formation & purpose - not reactionary to any specific events on the network - and most of the bluesky/blacksky

Black people seeking structural or infrastructural autonomy within the US to counteract their historic exclusion from power, production, and protection post-slave-trade is a fairly specific context which doesn't apply to white or asian

What are you, Thiel’s alt? The guy backed Facebook, built a mass surveillance firm, and talks about democracy as an obstacle. How do you expect people to feel about him?
75.
by pfraze 8mo ago
Ah yes, the real danger to the world isn’t a powerful man feeling ambivalent about our survival. The real danger is society using that moment as propaganda. This regarding Thiel, a man who most recently tried to make a “Greta Thunberg is th

Yeah I’m the guy quoted in the opening of the article. Yes. Be wary of Bluesky. That’s our whole point. Run the infrastructure on your own. Build separate companies. Most of the complaints here are just about the cost of scale. You are able

I know when I’m using a Nostr app because its logo is an endless spinner. At the scales these systems run at, you need large indexes. Distributing those indexes across many nodes would require a breakthrough in federated queries, and if you

Well, there are lots of standing directives. I suppose a more accurate description is tools that it can choose to use, and it does. As for the why, our goal is to observe the capabilities while we work on them. We gave two of our bots limit

We don’t know for sure whether this behavior was requested by the user, but I can tell you that we’ve seen similar action patterns (but better behavior) on Bluesky. One of our engineers’ agents got some abuse and was told to kill herself. T

If you went through multiple rounds it likely means they were seriously considering you but ultimately they didn’t get to a yes. If it’s any comfort that means you did pretty well. The short stints on a resume is likely not the only reason

“They hated me and waited until I did something wrong to have an excuse to go after me.” And “They waited until I did something wrong to go after me.” Both contain an admission of wrong doing

Did that happen to you, or to anybody you can point to?

What about the moderation strategy indicates that?

FWIW these are based entirely on the firehose, which means it doesn't count lurkers. Our logged in DAU tends to be double the DAU of record-creators

Didn't notice it was an old article, sharing it because kelsey recently reshared it: https://bsky.app/profile/kelseyhightower.com/post/3mddr4dbs6...

I’m sorry to say that a number of US states have instituted age verification laws over the past year

I think these are pretty good predictions, or at least line up with the goals we’re pursuing. I believe private data will land in atproto, hopefully by mid year. I also expect the tooling will improve a lot; the new Tap tool has made backfi
