  • Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains

  • It's fairly easy to understand but you won't really see it and that by design. The point is to make the underpinning so seamless that it feels like a centralized app. The proof of concept is Bluesky, but if you would like to see other services that are completely unaffiliated with Bluesky PBC than check out:

    • whtwnd.com (Whitewind)
      • A longform blogging platform that has its own Lexicon and AppView
    • pinksea.art (Pinksea)
      • An oekaki BBS with its own lexicon and CDN implementation
    • tangled.sh (Tangled)
      • A git forge integrated with atproto, they even have made some additions with regards to knots.

    All of these and many more are being built along with infrasstucture plays from the like of Blacksky, Northsky, and Free our Feeds.

  • You full on misunderstand the protocol. The .bsky.social subdomain does not denote what "instance" you are on. There are no instances on atproto. That user could be self hosting all there data and still use that subdomain. It's not mutually exclusive. Atproto is far more atomic than AP.

  • ActivityPub is just as susceptible to centralization as people claim Bluesky is with the only difference being that at least Bluesky has made some sort of mechanism for credible exit. It's old news that its expensive to run the perceived expensive parts, if fact you could do without it as many devs in the community are doing. ActivityPub is literally the easiest one to monetize because it can lead to moat building and user capture. It's why Meta is more than willing to become the biggest node in the Fediverse with Threads.

  • Yeah, business are pretty much the most consistent in verifying via domain. They get shouted at for it as soon as they join. Now most brands know to do it ass a measure of, idk, good faith in the platform and its norms.

  • He's not a charismatic speaker, but he is an effective speaker. In the same way text to speech is. Basically, in a world were Elons exist and public speak, he's very easy to listen to and understand.

  • Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically

  • Qobuz is pretty great for music downloads. Which I think is the real value they have. I'm able to get pretty high quality flac files for new releases from them.
