The next #IndieSkyWG is this Thursday 9am PST / 12pm EST / 1800 CEST, and we'll go deep into PDS Hosting What does it mean to host user accounts at scale? Why should users signup? What are the responsibilities of a PDS host?

Hosting the next #IndieSkyWG this Thursday, focused on PDS Hosting. There are ~2000 independent PDS right now blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pd... But! They basically just host small numbers of accounts. Also, other than self hosting flex, why run a PDS?

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

this could be a pretty big offload for a lot of atproto devs! OAuth implementation is definitely a big friction for many; better SDK support should help down the line, but this is a great pragmatic thing for projects today

Yes, anyone can verify! Like a “follow”, the “verify” record is in my user repo, and points at @walkah.social’s DID. Here’s a link to the record in my user repo atproto-browser.vercel.app/at/did:plc:2... A visualization of the verification graph would be fun! Support @dame.is for more tools!

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

This morning we learned that a well-known white nationalist met with the President and convinced him to fire several qualified generals for no reason. My concern is that this is the new normal. And that service to country no longer means anything to those in power.

With BlueSky finally opening up federation, I think it's time to write up something that explains the whole thing, BlueSky, atproto, the works, in one easy to find place. Just the high level bits, hopefully something that any developer can understand: steveklabnik.com/writing/how-...

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.
