@mcc @cthos ah :( I was hoping Blacksky found a way around that problem, but I have no idea whether or not that is even possible because I have no idea how AT works.
-
@cthos @aeva Every Bluesky replica is, probably without realizing it, making a bet that Bluesky has already plateaued.
-
@cthos @aeva I don't have an answer to this question. I've seen various claimed attempts to ballpark this number, but I expect it will change month to month, so even if I trusted the numbers I saw (I don't) there's no guarantee they're still accurate.
The Big Problem as I see it is since every "tower" contains the entire network, if the amount of traffic on bluesky doubles, the operating costs of each tower doubles. The "oh shit this is harder than I thought" problem is even worse than fedi.
-
@mcc @aeva Is there a good breakdown of the overall costs? Like I saw a lightweight AppView implementation still has to store roughly 2 gb of data per day, indefinitely, and...that's a _lot_ of storage.
I assume there's also a fair amount of bandwidth and other cost involved.
-
@aeva The question as always with ATP though is "why?". That is *why* would anyone bother splitting from bluesky. What we've seen so far is two demographic communities with reasons to distrust platforms they don't operate themselves.
So like who else would bother? You wouldn't see like, a fishing community standing up their own tower because they have no reason to expect Bluesky will target them specifically, and it costs so much more than running a Mastodon instance.
-
@aeva "Tower", that's a good word for it.
I think observably, the fact blacksky exists as a full stack (or at least end to end) example *is* inspiring more towers to stand up, and I'd put northsky as the example. (Or so I assume, I don't know for a fact the order of events.)
-
@mcc do you think this work (on Blacksky or northsky's part) will lead to more independent atproto towers showing up in the future?
