we had way too many of the old codes loose too, had been dumping them around generously early on. then they all started getting used

huh never made that connection! read maturana & varela in college though, studied science, technology & society! loved the concept of autopoiesis

hackers using automated methods to guess the invite strings, which were too short for this level of demand.

we made them longer to make it much more expensive to guess them in an automated way.

bottom line is nobody has the power to kick other people off the internet. but infrastructure providers can decide what is allowed on their infra and set rules there.

i don’t feel like insults are warranted on either side here.

the blockchain industry made a bad name for itself after a proliferation of scams, and blockchains themselves are composed of interesting and useful technologies people can be interested in without being scammers. both things are true.

using a tiny fingerprint to represent a lot of data is a really useful tool!

blockchains are basically just big collections of these fingerprints.

it’s not exclusive to blockchains though. we use a similar tool to make user data portable in ATP, without the “mining for coins” part of blockchains

ipld is a way to express data as a hash tree. the “top hash” in the picture below is basically a tiny fingerprint representing a lot of data that was compressed into it.

if anything in that bundle of data changes, the fingerprint changes.

weaponize it how?

lol we’ve joked “turn it all off” but i think we’re close enough to federation and finishing moderation tooling that we can push through. if our luck and relative peace here holds 🤞

the longer we don’t get there the more misconceptions people are going to accrue. so we’re going to go into sandbox federation mode soon to test it out with the dev community

we invalidated all old invite codes, which were getting brute forced, briefly leading to unconstrained growth.

mature = all the above is no longer happening, and there is infrastructure and policies in place holding everything together

this is a federated network and it hasn’t even federated yet. the ceo (me) is staying up late personally resolving escalated moderation reports. our servers are on fire and we have to take them down periodically for maintenance. an unfixed bug has ruined countless people’s notifications all weekend

**Post by jay.bsky.team, reply to paulbiggar.com**

we are being transparent about what is and isn’t very stressful work right now. we stayed up until 2am thursday through saturday working on moderation issues brought on by unexpected growth, and we still need to finish federation.

yes, anyone can create label sets, anyone can subscribe, and actions taken on subscribed label sets can vary.

people will label for all sorts of reasons, but users/servers only import labels that matter to them

partner says i have “suspiciously named questline NPC” energy.

“why is this person named Yoric Dragonfighter? wonder what we are going to do in that cave?”

thanks. this is an experiment. it’s not done. we built a protocol and an app in 1.4 years, have gotten unexpected traction, and need at least a few more months to flesh it out. y’all are here early. i’m not offended if some of you leave because it’s not ready.
