Pretty incredible how Bluesky does two things no other major social network does:
1. Show content from people you follow
2. Don’t deprioritize posts with links
The “incredible” part is how ads-driven social networks & ones optimizing for “engagement” stopped doing either.

Forget performance and efficiency, in this future robustness and adaptability will be certainly the keys for building sustainability www.guberna.be/en/know/robu...
😅 Maybe too poetic to make sense of it. My views is I think the system doesn't need to be shifted, it will collapse naturally as exponential growth is not really sustainable. We know it since the 70s with Meadows report commissioned by the Club of Rome.

Un avantage de l'écosystème opensource de bluesky! Il y a quelque chose à faire en France aussi pour nos politiques et autres personnalités médiatiques @guillaume.champeau.info @bonpote.com @arretsurimages.net @dschneidermann.bsky.social

Open ecosystems FTW
In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back.
So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!)
More on their architecture: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky
also a couple of people asked how to make a twitter archive like this, the code & instructions are here github.com/jvns/tweets-...
(though I just wrote it for myself so a lot of my information is hardcoded into the code)
YAY!!!! The inevitability of this moment does not diminish its delightfulness.
If you have new friends joining, be sure to tell them about Sky Follower Bridge, a Chrome plugin that helps you find all your Twitter followers in Bluesky: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-f...
Simple & straightforward overview of how ATProto works.

For the new techies here:
1. Bluesky is built on an open social protocol called ATProtocol
2. You CAN & SHOULD hack on this stuff. An open innovation network is our fundamental strategy for beating centralized attention-economy enshittification.
3. HackerNews for ATProto: frontpage.fyi
And the main reasons for this appear to be a disunite left-wing opposition party in Europe and a mismanagement of the economy by neoliberal centre-right parties which also strongly disregard and nip in the bud any possible economic model alternative. blogs.lse.ac.uk/lseupr/2024/...

If it can comfort my american friends, Trump victory is not an exception. The US are just leading the way... seeing what is happening in France, UK, and other European countries, there is definitely a normalisation of far right parties in many (most?) EU countries www.politico.eu/article/mapp... 1/2
Wow SO MANY interesting people tech folks in the replies.
And even more useful thematic “starter packs” linked in replies (eg Android engineers, eng managers, infrastructure engineers, geospatial engineers etc).
If you are looking for interesting techies to follow: look at replies 👇
You must be member of one of the starter packs listed here
