@scottjenson once again going to ask that you say #ATProto and not Bluesky.
We’re trying. Like many distributed open source systems, this is bottoms up community work. Pointing at Bluesky-the-company erases our work.
It’s not Bluesky’s job, it’s the ecosystems job.
@boris @scottjenson There’s been a great effort of talking about the Fediverse, and not just Mastodon.
https://jointhefediverse.net/ (among others)
But if we’re talking about Mastodon, there’s been an effort to offer different instances:
https://joinmastodon.org/ (directly from Mastodon)
You search “Join Fediverse” or “Join Mastodon”, and you get offered a choice.
What do you get when you search “Join Bluesky”? Or “Join ATmosphere”? (Didn’t know that was even a thing) -
@boris totally fair and my apologies. I did say BOTH product names and not their protocols so I'm an equal opportunity oversimplifier.
But you are correct and I'll do better.
@scottjenson appreciate you Scott.

(Didn’t know that was even a thing)@boris @scottjenson I’m also on Bluesky, I’ve been waiting to see other instances interacting with it or even, a bridge to ActivityPub (heck! Even Threads was trying!) I’m still waiting. If you put all your efforts on selling just one place, if you don’t put your weight into promoting the community (the protocol is irrelevant to the user, most Fediverse users don’t know about ActivityPub), you have no interest in federating, imho.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/115937101960287352
Exactly. Pointing out that #Bluesky isn't *practically* decentralized yet is not a critique, it's a statement of the work they need to do. (and I wish them luck!)
Mastodon has its own demons to slay. No one is perfect here! We're just talking about how things should improve. I so don't want us to form a circular firing squad. We can all win.
@scottjenson in the end of the day all that matters is figuring out healthy "social media", online discourses where we share valuable information, enhance emotional states, share the wonder and pain of life. Devising digital environments that make us all better humans, more wholesome, less ugly societies, at times of great collective peril 🖖
If technically the way to achieve that is via COBOL running on a single mainframe monolith or billions of chatty Raspberry Pi's, its irrelevant really 🤦

Bluesky is one product but also a microblog data type (like ActivityPub Notes type that Mastodon and others implement).
You can choose your account host completely separate even from your app with ATProto, so it’s different.

@dmian @scottjenson here’s a (Brazilian) list of PDS account hosts as an example
https://blog.vicwalker.dev.br/3lz4g6zxeic2p
And fun fact this is a long form blog data type running on the Leaflet app, whose data lives in this user’s account.
I also don’t expect a centralized “join” site because that’s not how ATProto works. Tricky to explain!

@dmian @scottjenson ATProto doesn’t have “instances” and this is part of the disconnect with fedi users looking for these full stack installs as they call them.
Here’s my presentation from #Fedicon where I walk through a dozen or so different apps / data types https://bmannconsulting.com/notes/beyond-microblogging-atproto/
Some re-use Bluesky’s microblog type, many others have built their own.
It’s not better, it’s just _different_ with different trade offs.

@boris @scottjenson Yes, sorry for using “instances”. But trust me, I want federated services to flourish, regardless of protocol.
To be honest, I’m glad the “ATmosphere” name’s been coined. People need to talk about that, the way others talk about the Fediverse, or the Web, and not ATProto, ActivityPub, or HTTP. The protocols are for developers. The rest needs communities, identities, and to know of the services that provide the means to connect. Imho, of course. -

Hence this UX research. And why erasing the community I’m helping build is sad.

@scottjenson@social.coop realistically speaking i doubt we'll see the ATmosphere (cool name btw) be decentralised. The way their relays work is making sure only the rich can manage it.

@tragivictoria that is the one critique I hear over and over: relays are the decentralized weak point of #ATProto.
People love to complain about how odd #ActivityPub data sync is (which is true!) but I'd argue it's "good enough" and has the advantage of working on $5/month servers

@boris @dmian @scottjenson this is something that was designed into ActivityPub and has largely been ignored. We're doing a lot of work on it at the W3C SocialCG group.

This season is uncomfortable. You've got people who really want to be there and people who really don't, and the latter came to make the former happy and then they found out what it actually meant and changed their mind real quick. Poor Logan. His dad is so angry and disappointed and the only thing keeping him from unloading on his son is the cameras.
-
So soon?
Aw, man, I really wanted the Tough Guy to be the one that had to call for help (and he would have, the tough guys always fail pretty quick), rather than his son. That would have been amazing television and might have fixed him so he could have a decent relationship with his son.

Definisci #nimby. E comunque massima stima per #AliceRohrwacher che settimana scorsa era a Berlino per gli EFA e che ora si sta sobbarcando un faticosissimo viaggio di ritorno su una carrozza a cavallo pur di non deturpare il territorio con sgradevoli impianti energetici

That's right, rinse the limpet in the dirty creek water before you eat it.

That said, Brooke does seem to know her way around the woods. A bit of an overreaction to a wolf being nearby, but she didn't do anything foolish in response.
Seeing that we have at least one notably weak link in most of these teams, I think this is going to be a short season.

Now she's talking to the eagles instead of making a signal fire. I don't speak eagle, but I assume she was telling them to find her husband and lead him to her. Good plan, Brooke.

Don't worry, Josh, I thought you would be.
