Enforcement occurs at the application level. You can think of applications as analogous to search engines. They're aggregating view layers (which is why they're called AppViews). They are largely where moderation or regulatory req

And then you can see my reply to that right at the top, so thanks, newly created anon account, for helping to add clarity to the situation

What are you talking about

We generally would characterize the monopolies as the bug, not the public nature of the data

I’ve just started playing with retool to act as a data visualization frontend to big query. If you’re nostalgic for VB, it’s worth giving them a shot. I’m only a couple days in but I’m finding it very promising

A better question is probably: have we ever treated so many random people’s thoughts as Monetizable Content?

Holmgren and I overengineered atproto without jeromy's help

At this stage, labelers still require a fair amount of work to setup and operate. We didnt want it to be difficult for people to issue verifications

wonder if the LLM would censor this post

Honestly just good advice for engineers in general - understand the difference between programs and products

You let us know when somebody has the right to be sad or angry about loss, thanks

One of our current projects is to create a partial sync model so that self hosted appviews can be run more cheaply. After that, it’s really just the cost of physics

…both of which you can run yourself

Atproto and ActivityPub are both multi-polar governance, though AP more aggressively so (though we hope not for long as we pursue some lower-cost execution models for the appview). Consequently the realpolitik is, what's the business

Heh, this is kind of complicated. It was Dorsey's initiative. The project's goal was to produce a technology that Twitter could move to. However, nobody on the team was from Twitter.

Originally that was the design. We just felt it wasn’t feasible as the primary operation. The PLC registry supports an override key for adversarial migrations, which was our chosen alternative

Network authority models are more nuanced than “nobody can tell me what to do” vs “one person controls everything.”

More specifically the reason we didn’t have an index time for that post was an architectural migration which lost our prior witness times. That was pretty early on. At this point we’d take pains to preserve those timestamps, and I’m fairly

tf are you talking about. Also, it does allow more than 1 main server.

Counter-point: It's sufficiently thought out and promising.

What pcorda is describing is actually the premise of Bluesky, which is why it was initially funded through grants and established as a Public Benefit Corporation. The logic has been to find the appropriate hybrid of commercial and non-comme

Active monthly is 12M so it's a third of that

More empty promises from Bluesky

I’d encourage everybody to read the article, which gives a fairly thorough and nuanced view of atproto in its current state

you're underestimating the read load, by a lot

As others have noted, the appview is open source. The dataplane has two implementations, one in postgres and another in scylla. The scylla dataplane is closed, the postgres one is open. The interesting next stage for the postgres implementa
