Re: Re: Bluesky and Decentralization -- Dustycloud Brainstorms
A few weeks ago I wrote How decentralized is Bluesky really?, a blogpost which received far more attention than I expected on the fediverse and Bluesky both.

I’ve been hearing about this project for years from @fernpizza.bsky.social and I’m stoked to see it out. It’s wildly elegant mixture of theory and empirics, with novel methods that manages to ask and answer deep questions about selection. Paper of the year. science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adx0665

amybunny.offprint.appThe eloquent and deeply knowledgeable @peterbrannen.bsky.social is without question one of our best contemporary writers on Earth history & science. If you haven't read his eye-opening debut on mass extinctions, The Ends of the World, and his magisterial, epic follow up, you should remedy that ASAP.
