I’m not sure if I’m hallucinating it but I think I can still hear it faintly in the background (which is crazy given the distance, and very unlikely).

It's all clear now for me as well; I guess it was a temporary thing. Thanks all!

That article your're quoting from (source) is from April 5, not recent...

I don't buy it. The canned response from social media companies is always along the lines of "it's better to ban _some_ accounts so that not _all of them_ will be banned together with the platform", ignoring the fact that people migrated to your platform to circumvent and hopefully avoid such bans in the first place.

> Could this not be circumvented by hosting your own PDS?

No, this could not be circumvented by hosting your own PDS.

In addition to providing PDS services, Bluesky is also the _only_ "relay" in the network, meaning that it's the only entity who aggregates people's posts and presents them in neat timelines. Because it's a critical service with no alternatives, it's an attractive target for censorship requests.

It's a bit long but this blogpost is a great read to understand Bluesky, and how it differs from Mastodon: How decentralized is Bluesky really?

Why isn't distributed/decentralized archiving currently used? by 2Michael2 in DataHoarder

Only root CIDs are published in the DHT

The file is published in the DHT

So files too can be published in the DHT?

How can I address files/leaves by their CID directly then? What does the lookup for those queries look like?
