  • the .bsky.social is the main instance. The bridge acts as another instance.

    For example one of my friends has a ATProtocol account hosted on the fellas.social instance, so his username is @johndoe.fellas.social

    it basically works like lemmy and mastodon in that regard

    The main difference with lemmy/fediverse is that instances don’t actually host the software, they just host the database. So it’s plug and play into any open source ATProtocol software. This dramatically decreases server loads and makes hosting an instance or your data cheaper but also means that software is more intensive to host.



  • I guess my private server and open source appview conntected to the ATprotocol are a conspiracy theory then?

    Yes the vast majority of people are on the main instance, but the protocol and software are decentralised. And bluesky the PBC is actually providing grants for people to set up alternative servers to speed up the decentralisation process.

    Bluesky is far from perfect but I’ve been quite disappointed by the “Fedi Good bluesky bad” oversimplifying and villification that has been going on here recently.





  • Because Zelensky wants to win the war. And the morale of the population is extremely important to win. This could severely hamper morale. The most unpopular thing you can do is send kids who still live with mum and dad to the war.

    And “isn’t a lot to ask”, you’re not the one sending thousands of your children to die every week to defend your very existence against a terrorist state who steals your children, executes POWs, uses chemical weapons, and murders civilians for fun.

    And the only reason Ukraine are “low on men” is that they’re having to compensate for a severe lack of materials by having more troops with lower quality weapons. So sending missiles and more shells is really two birds with one stone here.
