- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
yeah that was my bad I might be a little stupid.
I got confused between the relay crawling pdses to store their records for retransmission vs an appview storing records for serving them to clients. Both involve processing similar (v large) amounts of data, but the latter is actually more expensive because you’re also transforming the data to make it useful to clients.
They have said that in production, their appview takes up about 30 servers while the relay takes only one. Apologies for the rude tone of the post bsky.app/profile/why.bsky.team/…/3lku2o3n6es22

Can you explain for me what do you think “backfill” means in the context of the linked post?

Censorship requests from the Turkish government are only being applied in the official bluesky app. Third-party apps continue to show censored posts. Feels like that might be relevant
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
Several people have self hosted relays. Afaik nothing that anyone has used in “production”, everyone just uses the default one. I expect that will change as people figure it out, and trust in bsky pbc drops.
Example of self hosting bsky.app/profile/why.bsky.team/…/3lkwg2djrfk23

I am functionally a pr person for atproto (bluesky) on here because people repeat so much disinfo, and I have someone is wrong on the internet syndrome 😭
However, atproto and bluesky are distinct and I am pretty appalled at a fair amount of their recent decisions, esp this one
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
That’s only if you want to maintain a full archive. You don’t actually have to store a full archive to run a relay
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
That there are actually multiple relays. There’s no hard coded single relay, that would be ridiculous.
There is a hard coded relay in the official bluesky app, just like it has a hard coded moderation service. But both of those are changeable with third party appviews/clients

Bluesky’s algorithm is entirely optional and replaceable with user built algorithms
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 2 weeks ago:
It’s not “it” that wants you to log in, the devs set the site to be entirely public initially but users demanded an option to hide their profiles from logged out users.
The api endpoints are still public btw. Third party clients can see these profiles just fine

- Comment on Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture 3 weeks ago:
This is false, they support did:web which ties your identity to ownership of a DNS name (which is its own can of worms, but not PLC).
The other part is that you still have to register it to get indexed by the relay, so people can read your posts without querying your server directly (which is possible but discouraged).

They support did:web too if you don’t like did:plc
