En bluesky dicen que ustedes no existen. O sea, alla creen que no hay nadie que prefiera redes sociales basadas en comunidades pequeñas con moderación y no un clon de twitter.

En Mastodon, que alberga una gran comunidad de partidarios del free software/open source (entre los cuales me cuento) leo constantemente a gente dando el consejo de montar y albergar uno mismo sus propias aplicaciones web. Me parece un consejo que el 99% de las veces esta alejado de la realidad de la grandisima mayoría de las personas. No es practico.

Vale la pena recordar de vez en cuando que todo lo que es esencial de internet no se lo inventaron las corporaciones que lo dominan hoy en día

Si Luigi Mangione mató a ese CEO, imaginense de lo que Waluigi Mangione sería capaz.

Que risa la derecha en twitter (el nuevo Truth Social) ardida porque que la gente se está yendo a otros lados. Los trolls necesitan audiencia.

@okpierre @evan @Mushi but that's not how openness works for network protocols. Governance is critically important.

@okpierre @evan @Mushi the license you pointed at concerns the distribution if the at protocol reference implementation. The propietary character of the protocol itself is a different matter.

@evan @Mushi it seems to me ATProto’s descentralization is mostly theoretical (it is not realistic for a person or a small organization to run the main aggregator service and indeed no one but bluesky does) whereas for ActivityPub is not only possible but a reality.

If Bluesky were to dissapear today, all the self-hosted PDS instances would be rendered useless immediately. If Threads or the biggest mastodon instances closed today, the fediverse would still be alive and kicking.

I just finished a first read of @evan ‘s ActivityPub book from O’Reilly. The definitive guide for anyone who wants to write applications for the fediverse, imho. The detail level is spot on.

@evan cryptocurrency bros might also have a name for it (because of the 51% attack thing)

@gkrnours @simon_brooke @evan I guess its early, Evan wrote “next week” :-)

@atomicpoet regarding 2, I think its itended to be extensible with new lexicons:

"[...] Bluesky currently supports a micro-blogging mode: the app.bsky lexicon. Developers who create new lexicons would likely deploy a corresponding App View that understands their lexicon to service their users. Other lexicons could include video or long-form blogging, or different ways of organizing like groups and forums."
