baddo.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

1/2 The Bluesky app could sync all of your posts/likes/follows/images to your phone the way iCloud syncs Photos to the cloud. I pushed hard for this as a priority because, if done well, it could drive home how different Bluesky is from anything before it: you're in control and you own your data.

It should be possible to run Bluesky with ~250 million users with just hundreds of servers. All the big centralized social apps use hundreds of thousands of servers (or more). Part of that is better hardware and software and part is better design. This is a big reason they can be challenged now.

The more people using domain handles, the better! To some people it feels like they're being asked to eat their vegetables but it's really great for their long-term independence and for follower trust. Domains are a necessary and critical bridge from centralization to decentralization of control.

I need the ability to turn off an individual person's retweets like, yesterday, because some people are sweet but they flood my feed with stuff that makes me want to chew broken glass

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day. The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

somehow ”trump is god emperor and if he wills it it will occur” is a belief that is shared across the political spectrum

If this whole non-archival relay thing moves forward as is, it means pretty much any dev can run a relay. Requirements move down to ~8 cores, 16gb ram, ~2Tb ssd (can reduce this too) and as much bandwidth as you want to provide to your downstream users Obv would scale with network, but a good start

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit. Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention. Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"

it surprises me every time how the brain adapts. a few days ago i was feeling completely lost in these Android traces and flamegraphs. now i’m pretty comfortable. i remember the shape of some of them, they’re like places i visited. i can spot when a pattern’s different, have plans on what to do next

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

so is anybody even going to bother to go through the motions of calling for Trump to divest from his businesses this time around, or did we just give up on that one too?

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

The atproto/Bluesky protocol is fully open and highly decentralized. Just like the web was. The current atproto/Bluesky network is fairly centralized because it’s so new there aren’t many network providers yet. Just like the web was.

1. Twenty-some years ago, as the embers of the intelligent design movement were dying out, a loose band of thinkers known as the New Atheists made a name for themselves by confusing materialist methodology with materialist metaphysics and going on the offensive against all of organized religion.

still trying to chase down Android choppy feed scrolling. added some instrumentation to the app — using React profiling builds and <Profiler> to track long render phases. we do have long tasks (presumably rendering offscreen story items as you scroll) but they’re on the JS thread. so why stutter?

sorry but article ii section 3 does not say that the president can force congress to adjourn when it does not want to and spreading that message is doing trump’s work for him

listen, the only way trump can force congress to adjourn if it is not already planning to adjourn is if he sends men with guns. and if that happens the game is already over.
