Yes! And if this were not the case then account portability between PDS hosts would be really challenging. Same logic as keeping your phone number when you switch cell carriers

Transferring to an independent org is what we're talking about now, yes. The backstory to PLC is that we picked up the DID standard and looked for an existing registry-method that would satisfy requirements¹. None of them really did. W

Yeah I think so too. The application should be giving best-effort witness times.

It's actually quite important that you can introduce new schemas! It's entirely up to WhiteWind whether they use bluesky's follow schemas or not. There's no blocker on that. The only question they have to ask is whether

There's nothing substantively stopping that from happening, it's just that bluesky and the other app devs haven't used each others schemas to trigger it. For instance, if frontpage really wanted to, they could publish stories

Everybody's kind of got it. We didn't publish a lot the past couple days because we didn't want to highlight the situation during the election. Our fault for not solving it sooner. Here's the full deal. Every record self

Nope, you can switch domains at any point. It'll break web links to your profile, but the network won't struggle to keep track of who you are. The reason for this is that domain names are aliases. Your permanent ID is the DID, whi

The necessary future is more providers, more relays, a move of PLC to an independent body, and more DID methods. I will also say - there are ~100 self-hosting PDSes in the network, about 25 relay consumers, 3 alternative appviews that I kno

The atproto team came from the p2p space. We had a lot of experience running client-side computation. There are challenges you can try to solve in that design -- key sync, key recovery, reliable hosting, reliable discovery, etc -- but what

In fact, the causality is reversed; he's on the board due to his influence on us. Masnick wrote the Protocols not Platforms essay which inspired Dorsey to start the Bluesky project. Then Bluesky became the PBC, we launched, became inde

We did both. I don’t know why the invite didn’t reach their email

I personally and formally invite you to join. Im sure your original invite got lost in the mail. Fwiw the invites were really just to manage scale. We weren’t ready yet and demand was high. We weren’t trying to exclude people

Bluesky integrates with Mastodon better than Threads does at this point. I have bidirectional conversations with mastodon users, with notifications, using a bridge called BridgyFed. I can follow Mastodon users on Bluesky. I can’t with Threa

I’m not sure that’s true. We have a lot of people who are invested in the protocol and the technology. I post threads about it periodically, and people are pretty engaged & excited: https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.

Please pass along to everyone on RN how much the Bluesky team appreciates your work. We're excited to put the new arch into prod.

We use Expo/RN for Bluesky. The way I see it, if it's a separate codebase then it's a separate product. I honestly don't think we could've survived trying to build 3 different apps at once, so when I get hit with on

Oh thank you, that's really nice of you to say. I'll pass your comment along to everyone. Who knows what will happen, but at minimum the software & specs will remain and I feel good knowing we'll be able to leave that for

Oh yeah you're fine. We get hit with a lot more tough comments than that.

I agree with this. I think we've managed to produce a good UX on a new protocol, which is important but not what the market measures us by. The market is looking for great products. That's going to take us improving at design exec

Appreciate your work on this, Wes & crew. Express is still my go to for nodejs, and it's really good to have this active governance.

This was from a couple weeks back. We’ve been working hard to clean it up. It’s a constant fight, but we take it seriously. The CP rings showed up at much higher levels than before with the Brazil bump. We run every image through Thorn’s fi
