“The For You Page algorithm is not strongly influenced by the accounts you follow… You cannot see who has left, because it is very hard to build a stable sense of who was there in the first place.”

I was supposed to take advantage of my time working for the Governor of Illinois to cash in as a lobbyist or consultant. yea no.
I just got the same feeling re #ATproto.
"hey buddy, figure it out. we know the platforms are dying. people hate them. the money will make sure this protocol is the future of decentralized social media. stop fighting it. find your niche."
Just learned from @quillmatiq that @msonnberger is working on #FediSky, a new project "that adds an #ActivityPub instance sidecar to a PDS"

If the network being decentralized is key to decentralizing power, how did Google running on the open web get so powerful while nobody has really done that with podcasts? The structure is obviously important but it's also not enough. There can't be a nexus for dealing with the network. People want to search the whole thing and Google gave them that. Podcasts have so far avoided that by making it work well enough in different apps and/or maybe avoiding the need for it. IDK
No, ehkä teen (teemme) vain #AtProto (BlueSky) -yhteensopivan public.sif-source.org jutun, joka huomioi materiaalien ja energian kierron ja katsomme, mitä tulee. 🫠

#Roomy is a chat platform, alternative to #Discord, uses #ATProto & planning to use #ActivityPub, so that you can log in with your #Mastodon ID . Might eventually be useful for a #WatchParty
My liveskeeted notes from #ATProto London are up at kevinmarks.com/atprotolondon
ATProto London
Thanks to @aendra.com@bsky.brid.gy for hosting #AtProto London - great collection of talks
#ATProto London @alex.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy: if you're relying on the jetsteam firehose now it will saturate a cheap VPS now, so that will get worse. But the For You feed is run by one guy on his gaming desktop
#ATProto London q: everything scales well apart from the firehose
#ATProto London @danabra.mov@bsky.brid.gy: the bsky PDS implementation means each user has a separate SQLite instance so it scales horizontally very easily
#ATProto London @alex.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy: there are going to be other PDS offerings, and we expect people to build that out. One example would be a PDS for atmosphere app allowing their users to have a clearer login
#ATProto London @alex.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy: that's a way to make an open source company fall over and die with support requests
#ATProto London q: could bsky help with mirroring slef-hosted PDS's ?
#ATProto London @alex.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy: one thing I wish we talked about more is how we do our own infra. It's been a lot more economical for us to use our own racks rather than running on other people's clouds
#ATProto London @danabra.mov@bsky.brid.gy: if you have to ship a breaking change make a new lexicon
#ATProto London q: lexicon garden is the best place to look until our docs ship https://lexicon.garden/
#ATProto London q: how do publish a lexicon, and can I update or change one?
#ATProto London @alex.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy: active users is ~3M posting weekly of ~40M users
#ATProto London @alex.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy: join the at mailing list at IETF to take part
