@laurenshof Hi Laurens! Can I DM you on Signal about this?
-
@kelvin0mql 😂😂😂 you genuinely made me laugh out loud
I have a 5 year old and I approve of this message 😆
@_elena
Is it weird that I picture that scene from #GalaxyQuest any time someone says "explain it like I'm 5" or similar? -
@_elena technically is because setting-up/supporting/maintaining the firehose/relay layer is very expensive. Every single message would flow thru there.
Creating the biggest firehose in Europe is such a power. So, it is easier to be controlled, and very unlikely to be replicated by other entities.
@mapache can I quote you on this in my piece?
-
@_elena So in my opinion. Why W choosed atproto instead of activitypub? It is more interesting for investors to create a platform that can be controlled, even if it is just to introduce ads or control the discourse.
@mapache @_elena I'm guessing the reason is less technical and more business:
They're positioning themselves as a European platform. Had they chosen ActivityPub, they have no unique selling point versus Mastodon.
So they are going with "Bluesky but Europe".
And with that they can pitch those aspects you mentioned.
Maybe an investor will bite.

@_elena @mapache They also want to require identity verification for their users, so that fits https://www.t-online.de/digital/internet/id_101092238/soziales-netzwerk-aus-europa-will-elon-musk-konkurrenz-machen-w-statt-x.html
Otherwise, they could just go for EuroSky if they want an ATProto network

@_elena Speaking of which, maybe you could ask somebody working on the BlackSky/NorthSky/EuroSky projects?

I'm writing an article about W Social and I'm mentioning how it's basically a fork of Bluesky / is using its open source code.
Are there any Bluesky / ATProto experts on here willing to help me understand something, in a "explain it like I'm 5" fashion?
Update: all good thanks to @laurenshof 's expert explanation, thank you Laurens ❤️
@_elena @laurenshof are you in Brussels? Maybe this might be interesting for you https://luma.com/9f10yt6f!?

@mapache can I quote you on this in my piece?

@mapache yes, this was my suspicion too... I have a really technical question about AT Proto and their open source code though... if you could think of anyone who could help, I'm all ears :)
And see you at FOSDEM on Saturday?
@_elena sure. And out of curiosity what is the question

@mapache all good now, Laurens answered for me. It was about Bluesky's "dataplane implementation" and PostgreSQL

Did my dog just vibrate?
Nope. It was a fart. Silent and deadly one.

@rotnroll666 Thank you!

@vitaut That moment Elon resorted to name-calling the diver who mocked Elons mini-submarine was the moment I realized Elon is an idiot.
-
@stefano Wonderful.

@vitaut Is retooling your unprofitable car factory to a submarine factory a sunk cost fallacy?
