I post about research backed implementation techniques and best practices.
was standing in the plaza 2 weeks before.

when you ask for dark and horrific you get it. if you got happy and flowers it would be mis-aligned using shoggoth.

pretty much an f-u strike, we think we can out wait you or we will get to good ai quicker than you think.

my biggest issues with ATproto are as follows

1. Standard proliferation, ActivityPub already exists and can be extended.

2. Bsky is a for profit entity made by the same people and come from the same places/cultures as the other networks. Funded by them too.

3. Profit + Commons = not your commons

You fluidly moved from system to system because they didn't have your data, you did.

There were ofc some practical reasons for centralization at one point for some usecases. At this stage of our technical development, they make less and less sense every day.

of personal control through underpowered personal moderation tooling.

meanwhile, the real internet (web1 ill call it) put the client in your hands and the data on a standard protocol backed by the dev/eng orgs of the world.

realizing the kind of capture that could be had (similar to what AOL and CompuServe had) they built up thier proprietary systems with specific anti-consumer designs such as forced remote data storage for NPI/PII

this allows them to control everything you see and here while creating a façade...

its just the nature of the domain mixed the proprietary protocol implementations. Social networks like most apps sit 2 or 3 layers above HTTP(s) often just using a patchwork protocol they that gets wrapped into the public API via a gateway.

domains, through marketing domain names were made a sole way of accessing systems. this was pushed to the people as "the way the internet is used".

We need them yes (TLS forces it), but they don't need to be the land-staked gateways they are now. it's perception that lets the gatekeepers reign.
