Infra team recently switched the timeline backend to a new cluster and didn't backfill. It will regrow over time. Sorry about the confusion that caused. It was one of those things that happened in the scaling rush.

We still need to resolve a lot of questions about healthy usermod tool usage. The "open market" of usermod tooling -- that is, with low institutional auditing -- does press the community to engage in auditing themselves, for bette

ATProto team is familiar with SOLID, and we have a lot of respect for the people involved, but it didn't seem like it captured the right model for us. In particular, we felt it was important to debind identity from hosting, focus on hi

At a glance it looks pretty interesting. I'd have to do a much deeper eval to say if CUE could function as a Lexicon replacement. Probably the more likely future is a syntax which compiles to lexicon jsons

I actually wrote a blogpost explaining that: https://www.pfrazee.com/blog/why-not-rdf The TLDR is that we started with JSONSchema and then evolved it. OpenAPI didn't quite fit our needs either. Lexicon doesn'

An appview doing partial sync of the atmosphere is going to have two drivers of its cost: 1. number of users being synced, 2. number of direct users of the appview. #2 because some additional work is done for the direct users, such as compu

Our intent is to make an open social network that is able to scale past 100M users without breaking down, and to debind identity from providers. It is also not necessary for AppViews to index the entire network. Partial syncs of the atmosph

Also consider that every company has their existing roadmap. Getting the work scheduled can be difficult.

The former, but the existing featureset will stay free and we won't rank up paying users. We're still nailing down the features, but it'll be things like custom app icons, profile customizations, higher-def video

This one surprised me personally, because we really don't do anything special. We treat posts with links the same as any other kind of post. I would guess there's a kind of high "density" of focus from people right now;

Jay collaborated on multiple distinct proposals prior to Bluesky PBC, back when it was a community effort. I wouldn't suggest a lineage from that proposal and atproto.

Believe it or not, it’s possible to have meaningful differences about the way to design a system while maintaining the same motives. It’s clear that you’re happy with the ActivityPub design. I’m not. And your argument right now is akin to s

We looked quite closely at ActivityPub. Here's why we didn't go with it: 1. AP doesn't have the facilities for global aggregation which can power search, discovery, algorithms, and metrics. The user community has been very cl

At the scale that Netflix just dealt with? Yeah I honestly think this is a case where less than 5000 people in the world are really qualified to comment.
