Well… tbh, i have good vision and i can’t read it easily. I don’t think it’ll work and if it does it won’t foe very long, it’s just a cool design thing making a statment while potentially looking good on a poster

Considering legacy social media often allow a display-name differing from the username, i’m not sure this will have a very different effect on online communities then what we can already observe in contemporary impersonation scams. However, vigilance has always been necessary online, and is probably going to be all the more important in a context of DID/SSI/VCs

The way i see it, paltform leveraging DID/SSI/VC will have the burden of responsibility to provide meaningful ways for users to verify the authenticity of their peers. “Responsibility” being avoided at all cost in most commercial online contexts, i’m expecting it to be a painful process to begin with. It will boil down to how well we do as communities, and as a specie, at transferring knowledge among us.

Ye. The cybergods will quantum donedid the author for sure: blesseings because wtf genius, cursings because “pwEAsE in$tALl cHroWmiUm”

hahah! so then the user curbs, goes to social media to open an account, and bam:

Account creation aborted. Reason: Absence of discoverable social media trail

You’d have to ask my tinfoil cats about the details. I’m still reluctant to attribute these “people” with the hormones necessary for cooperation, coordination, or anything starting with “co-” really…

…But the tinfoil cats have a point

My tinfoil cats are mewoing about a coordinated effort accros the IT sector to make one year with insane profit and the added side effect of lowering the wages accros the sector.

Ok, let’s say I create the 2nd firehose in existance, could you elaborate on how I would get everyone to read and write to it? Would I have to merge the bluesky firehose to mine, or have I effectively split the network until someone creates a third firehose that merges both? What if bluesky doesn’t care about my firehose, how will their users ever see my posts?

Please rest assured I ask out of genuine curiosity, I don’t expect you to have all the answers. But I might as well try my luck as you seem knowledgeable.

Thanks!

edit: typos

Thanks for your effort! I genuinely appreciate it!

Maybe I misunderstand, but what I gather from your writing, is that bluesky might become decentralized in the future, if a decent amount of separate groups manage to raise 30 million dollars each.

Thanks! In the tutorial, they mention listening to the firehose. I’m not able to wrap my head around this (singular) firehose. But I remember seeing this initiative trying to crowdsource 30 million dollars to run one for 3 years Can you elaborate on that and help me understand better?

Edit: typos

What do I need to run an atproto application?

Alt-text: monkey-lookaway meme. 2 pannels. 1st pannel monkey look at the camera while facing away from the camera. 2nd pannel monkey looks away from the camera face hasn’t moved. Above the whole panel, text that says “Thubderbird while Mozilla fucks up Firefox”

don’t see my answer bellow? https://fed.dyne.org/comment/1329338 if your lemmy server didn’t fetch it.

Looking great! Good move the point the spider downwards. Things can get awkward in many cultures other wise.

edit: should have elaborated, sorry. Traditionally in many places, spiders crawling upwards is signaling heavy involvement in crime.

Just saw your edit, i’m fairly sure the depth of insight you’ll get into our fetishes will depend on which subscription plan you can afford 😹

Good point, thank you!

Very well summed up imho! Thanks for taking the time to do this, kind stranger!

Both ingredients are valid, but i prefer mine with a zest of not letting that which i cannot control burden me, over a handful of IDGAF.

wow! thanks for sharing! had never heard of this legend!

yes, well… i personally wouldn’t assume any political orientation based on platform preferences. as for the reaction, it doesn’t surprisee me: it’s part of the mainline narrative of young people being “foolish narcissistic clicktvists acting out for social media klout”. Which i personally don’t belive in. In some cases it might even be rooted in frustration arrising from the lack of attention brought upon other, perhaps more elaborate and constructive, ways to tackle the issue.

There might be better ways, i’m no judge of that, but the one rmployed by this young people for sure enables discussions and exchange, which are not always positive maybe, but the world of ideas is a pot that requires to be stirred up.

who’s to say they don’t do all of that as well? I have no idea. Do you? What i know for sure is that there’s no media in picking up rubbish, though i agree there should be.

Either way, i set the title the way i did on purpose, to me it’s not so much about the value of the action in itself, rather about the absurdity in calling what they did a “Category 1 harm to society”. If you think they are childish, then i suppose the lesson here is that childish stuff is category 1 harm to society.
