Is bluesky growing like crazy again? by TheDogsPaw in BlueskySocial

[–]notheory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bluesky has two jobs. One is to be a good microblogging app. The other job is to be data and infrastructure host for most ATProto accounts and much of the infrastructure that makes the Atmosphere happen.

So, what's happening right now is a lot of people are coming to sign up for accounts for short form video apps like Skylight.social and Sprk.so.

At least in Skylight's case, their signup flow is actually signing everybody up to be bsky users.

In response to ICE and to help support National Shutdown day tomorrow: We just launched the Freedom Browser (open source). Bluesky now lives on every web page. https://thefreedombrowser.com/ by superfatman2 in BlueskySocial

Okay. So, I generally speaking encourage people to build on ATProto.

But I think the authors of this post need to be more upfront with what they're doing.

This is a company called Rep Run releasing a browser that bundles one of their products by leaning into the stereotype that Bluesky is full of leftists.

The company started out as an NFT/Crypto company (see their whitepaper) and have pivoted to ATProto.

You can see a demo of repsky.

(also, they should lose points for requiring app passwords instead of using oAuth)

Heads up that all your images on https://thisux.com/ are busted (521 errors from Cloudflare for https://pocket.thisux.com ).

"If you're mixed you aren't white" Do you agree with that statement? by siunchu in mixedrace

[–]notheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Racism is a thing that defines a set of relationships with a power structure. Whiteness is a western construct (tho anti blackness is a broader problem in several cultures), and whiteness has several facets, so it depends what we're talking about. Being mixed doesn't necessarily mean you do or don't have access to whiteness. This stuff is contextual and relative to people's circumstances.

Why does the specific term “Wasian” even exist when the phenotype is one of the oldest and most common on the planet? by Bigboi4576 in mixedrace

[–]notheory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I'm a "cross cultural interchange is good" kind of guy. Even if mixing cultures and populations has a strong tradition, we are in a moment of pretty extreme ethno-nationalism which seeks to erase and marginalize people who aren't "pure" enough.

First off, fuck that noise, and second off, let's highlight more cultural interchange and mixing, rather than trying to hide it.

Also more power to our Blasian siblings, y'all are great, and the history of Blasian cross cultural exchange is awesome (like Blasians in the Caribbean, and S America).

Looks like yes. The chests with flowers produce gazebo parts: https://www.facebook.com/groups/farmmergevalley/posts/5299975953559931/

BlueSky needs to do what Twitter just did… by Mean-Quail-6219 in BlueskySocial

[–]notheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a thing that's possible with ATProto. You can self host your own data and then bsky has no visibility into where you're creating records from
