It was the purple velvet track suit, wasn’t it🤭

The important part are the big circles in the bottom left. The PDS is an instance. Instead of transmitting content directly to one another, they communicate through giant content aggregators called BGS, which is owned by Blue Sky. These are radically inefficient by design, so only big companies will be able to run the BGS.

Basically, it would be like if everything you poasted had to go through an instance like Poast or Mastodon Social first to federate to other instances. It’s not censorship resistant at all. It’s barely decentralized.

One thing I'll say in defense of algorithms is the "who to follow" algorithm on twitter is really good for finding ppl who you want to talk to. If there was some way to make that for nostr but unbiased/client hosted/decentralized I think that would actually give nostr an edge over the fedi in a significant way.

For future profitability. They’re too late though, a lot of twitter ppl already moved to fedi and they’ll prefer it because it’s so easy to censor ppl.

I love you 😂😂

😂😂💜🫂 that does not apply to knowledge 😂, but in the Australia thread talking about 🐍🐊 🕷️🕸️curiosity can definitely kill the cat 😂😂😂

I was actually asking Phil, but thanks lovely 😂

It’s much worse than the Fediverse, actually. Did you see the chart they released? The actual transmission of content is completely centralized.

Thank you for your curiosity ! 💜🫂

The bluesky ppl are obviously interested in algorithms (censorship) and monetisation. It’s basically the fediverse which is super broken.

Somewhere I’ve got a photo of a brown snake I found in the bushes next to me when I was out walking a few months ago 🐍.. and then there are the spiders 🕷️ 🤣🤣🤣

You can host your own data. But the problem with Bluesky’s architecture, is the aggregators.

If you want to post something

your own data stored in your own server, should be send to an aggregator before it can be posted on Bluesky. So censorship can occur at the aggregator level.

In theory, anyone with the right amount of resources, can run an aggregator.

But as I said earlier, Bluesky is still a work in progress, no one knows really how it will evolve!

Have you ever watched Aussie Snake Catchers on TV?
