   @cyrus interesting, thank you! This does improve the storage situation, but the bandwidth requirements will remain huge and only increase with use.

   But that kind of uproots one of the expectations most users have about a social network – that posts are not ephemeral.

   I'd like to see relays talking to each other, but I don't believe this will ever happen in any meaningful way on Bluesky, for reasons Christine Lemmer-Webber dove into in her write-up.

     Yes, but AppViews talk to relays, not PDSes. So from the perspective of users, if relays their AppView talks to are all ephemeral, the experience is ephemeral.

     I'm not sure about relays talking to each other, it might happen more at the appview level -- appviews talking to other appviews, appviews listening to multiple relays. There are various projects looking at independent and semi-independent subnetworks, I'm not sure what architectures they're experimeting with ... It's hard to predict at this point what will and won't work.

     @thenexusofprivacy and as far as predicting stuff is concerned, again, I would love to be wrong.

     But as far as my prediction about DID:PLC from 1.5y ago is concerned, it seems right on the money:

     > If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.

     DID:PLC is no longer "Placeholder", it is now enshrined in Bluesky for good it seems.
