Be Wary of Bluesky
Bluesky promises decentralization, but nearly every user's data sits on Bluesky's servers, and every new ATProto app reinforces that centralization. T

Open protocols won the architecture war. Now the core app has to win the masses.

Exploring the idea of self-hosting a Bluesky PDS alongside my Indiekit instance — turning it into a dual-protocol server that federates over both ActivityPub and AT Protocol simultaneously.

rmendes.netIs there a good write up anywhere on the sort of app design of Bluesky, with the frontend client and the PDS proxying requests.

Bluesky’s statement deriding Threads users as “guinea pigs” is not representative of Blacksky Algorithms, the atproto ecosystem or the open social web more broadly. Communities form around communication networks. And communities should never be trolled for whatever tool helps them find each other.
Bluesky's AppView performance has not been so great recently, right? Long loading times with "Please check your internet connection" or "rate limit exceeded" Thinking it may be folks off of the Bluesky PDS's. Thought it was android oddities, but I get it on desktop and have heard from others
also it is completely bonkers that @bsky.app requires you to select a "Hosting Provider" on login and i have to remember whatever @eurosky.social's address is. guys, if you want this decentralization thing to happen, it should not suck so much to use! the Bluesky app should just read it from my DID
