🦋 Bluesky Social

For some reason I thought The Verge might have a more substantive article on this...Yet instead TechCrunch came in with better coverage: "Wait, how did a decentralized service like Bluesky go down?"

This is a great demonstration that if Bluesky really wants to walk their talk, they're going to have to do more. More in terms of educating people on the value of self-hosting their own Personal Data Severs, and encouraging the building of other PDS hosting/entryway services.

Nevertheless even then the protocol still has Relays that act as the biggest point of failure to it all, and that will remain so even with independent ones.

BlueSky the corporate platform that tracks all the links you click, and isn't federated like Mastodon.

To be clear - app isn't connecting to content service, web interface appears to be fine via browser

this must be a headline from the southern hemisphere.
