Yes but in this specific case the author owns up to using Claude for “editing” of the blog entries.

Pretty funny to see this here because this blog post seems like written with AI assistance (“it’s not just x, it’s y”, etc.) and also its author advocates for Nostr instead.

Evan Prodromou commented to say he “disagrees with the purpose of this statement”.

I don’t understand what he gets out of being so antagonizing. Lovely statement though, nice to see so many signatures.

you need thousands of dollars

no you don’t

Search up “Mastodon instances” and then “Bluesky instances”

Bluesky has a different architecture, there are no “instances”, it’s PDSs, relays and AppViews, all of which can be and are already being self-hosted.

they’re just jumping on the train with the billionaire who runs it

If you mean Dorsey, he has had nothing to do with Bluesky for well over a year now because he resented them implementing moderation tools

I might be wrong, but feeds get their data from relays, correct? So if you are using any of the Blacksky feeds, presumably you would indirectly be using the atproto.africa relay?

The main difference between Threadsky and Frontpage is that Threadsky is just yet another Bluesky re-skin, it’s just regular Bluesky posts presented in a reddit-like format, whereas Frontpage has its own dedicated lexicon and doesn’t ingest the Bluesky firehose at all. I think Frontpage is really neat, but it has been shown little love unfortunately, it hasn’t meaningfully changed in months.

While I generally avoid politics on this blog, it’s hard to ignore the political biases permeating X and BlueSky. X has veered heavily toward far-right ideologies, while BlueSky is often associated with far-left communities. This polarized landscape doesn’t work for those of us seeking a neutral space for meaningful interactions.

lol

Why not self-host your Bluesky personal data server?
