- Comment on What are some of the non-technical parts of the fediverse that appeal to you? 2 months ago:
i was going to say the better curation tools, but then i realized it’s definitely the clients for me, having the freedom to choose exactly how i want my experience to be is so amazing, and clients like photon just trounce stuff like reddit’s ui.

- Comment on Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of 5 months ago:
all you have to do is
-
host your own PDS, where your account lives, this is easy, I do it myself already.
-
host you own appview: the only actually good appview is bsky’s, luckily it’s open source, unfortunately I do not believe they made it easy to self-host.
-
Host a relay, this isn’t all that hard, it just needs a real big server (AFAIK it needs a shitton of io throughput), so unless you’re very rich it’s not too realistic to host this.
So yeah, a PDS is easy to host but the other two parts are a pain, and since the protocol has only been open for a few months, people haven’t really done too much.
Frontpage exists, but they haven’t made it be able to interact with bsky.Social, although the accounts are shared. I have been told by people involved with that that that’s an issue with frontpage’s implementation, and not the AT protocol

Also apple used lightning before, not thunderbolt.

It will, no need to install anything new
- Comment on Some (Slightly Biased) Thoughts On The State Of Decentralized Social Media - TechDirt 5 months ago:
Basically bluesky works with pds’s, that host account data, (i actually host my own), appviews, which manage the post sorting/algorithm and ui, and relays, that sit between the two and make it easier (theyre not strictly necessary, but make At-proto services much faster and more reliable).
Relays are expensive, and so bluesky’s relay is the only real one currently, not because theyre shutting other people out, because a relay is expensive. So currently you kind of have to use bluesky’s servers to use the AT protocol, but thatll change whenever someone has the resources to setup a good relay.
