I wouldn’t recommend it either, because it doesn’t exist yet. But its extremely disingenuous to make claims about how it will work when/if it begins federating in the future and declare it EEE.

Do you have any sources for that? I’ve seen no indication they don’t intend to release the protocol as a standard and that is a pretty big assumption

There isn’t a standard because the protocol/platform doesn’t exist yet. “Anyone who wants to connect will be entirely beholden to get the latest published version from Bluesky” is just the definition of a standard. Every standard is maintained by someone. And its also not EEE to make an entirely new system. They are neither embracing nor extending activitypub. They are trying something of their own.

What do you mean it’s not intended to be an open protocol? There is no other reason for it to exist

Spotify doesn’t make changes like that on its own, the artist probably did that for a reason

Been using this for a few days now, extremely useful, much better than searching all over like I was before lol. Thanks for your work!

Truly a site of the people

isn’t that just the most recent el nino year?

I really wish people would think a bit bigger. I hear “I don’t want regular people here/it doesn’t need to grow” all the time but don’t you wonder how much better things would be if the average person wasn’t constantly on a platform designed to enrage and exploit them?

Usernames are only unique within servers, just like with email addresses. there’s only one john@gmail.com but john@yahoo.com is a different person

Then there should be a single unified sign up page that sends you to a random instance or something. You still need an easy onboarding process for less technical people

really annoying that they used that name but don’t have the domain, lol

The problem is it takes time and money to do that, which you can’t really get without some kind of structure. I’ve been wondering what a tech cooperative might look like lately. All the weight of a company like reddit, but owned by the users

I think lemmy.world specifically has been having a lot of issues because of the increased traffic. Have you tried any other instances?

I really don’t understand how people can’t tell, I’m starting to wonder if it’s a genetic thing like with cilantro.

And beyond, I imagine

It is releasing its own federated protocol, seems like it does a lot more than activitypub. Your account identity is valid on any instance, for example

I’m with you, but it is a bit odd for android given the push for material design

Ansible runs on your local machine, but it executes the setup on your (Linux) server remotely via SSH. I’d definitely recommend the Ansible setup, it was the easiest I tried. Are you able to SSH into your server already?

Those numbers hardly describe a “plunge”. Much lower impact than I had hoped honestly
