@tess I am inclined to give Rudy a lot of leeway because he is clearly moving very fast. I'd rather him engineer than answer my questions and I'd rather not interrupt him while he's engineering a thing I want to use.

But I just want to know what the software I'm using… like… is.

@mcc that all scans, and, I hope it's just a miscommunication as to the current state of BlackSky.

If nothing else, this is the five-alarm fire that should expedite the switchover.

@mcc The layers are indeed censorship choke points.

What I'm saying is that in this case, it appears to be the labeler of Bluesky that's the issue. Any app view that uses it will suppress Link's parts, even if he's not banned locally.

The app view of Blacksky would hide him locally but he wouldn't be banned. This is why he can post but can't see his own posts. The Blacksky app view (the site) is independent except for the labeling.

@mattsheffield The pds doesn't view posts. The appview views posts. You need like five separate components in order to look at a post on Bluesky and every single one of them introduces the potential for censorship. I can't read the site through pdsls that's bonkers

@mcc Link, the banned user in question, is accessible via the raw Bluesky network feed (the "fire hose"). But he cannot be viewed by any server that utilizes Bluesky labelers. Does your PDS?

It seems as though Blacksky does, which is why he can't be seen there. But he can still post. I'm in touch with him and he's posted to me, which you can see here in the fire hose: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:63hvnyjvqi2nzzcsjgnry5we/app.bsky.feed.post

@mcc Is Blacksky operating its own relay? Is it possible to ban users at the relay level?

@mcc I stay as far away from Dorsey as possible, and they banned LINK?!?!!!

@tess But

1. Even if Blacksky's appview is limited to the last seven days, or limited only to information Blacksky controls (eg the blacksky pds), I should still be able to see Link's posts, or Link's last seven days of posts. So it seems blacksky's appview isn't being used at all.

2. The test linked above, too, seems to imply I am using Bluesky's appview in all cases.
