theneedyguy @0x01.host · 28/11/2024Dont forget that a large amount of game studios are actually relatively small. There are maybe 20 large ones in a sea of small fish. No one really has a monopoly on games. This will just be another loss for him unless he wants to publish nazi propaganda games or some shit for his followers. 110 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 28/11/2024In the end the main differences are the way the both protocols work that "true" federation is not really possible with Bluesky(ATproto) but it is with Mastodon(ActivityPub). 010 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 28/11/2024A Relay, where you have control of which servers can relay their data to you can costs a few hundred $$$ a month. If Bluesky ever takes down all their Relays we won't be able to talk to each other unless someone is willing to pay $500 a month to connect the users again im simple terms. 110 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 28/11/2024The main issue with Bluesky's "federation" is that to truly federate you must run all the parts of the network by yourself instead of just the server that hosts your account as you cannot really have a say with which other servers you want to connect to. This is almost impossible for a single user 110 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 28/11/2024A prominent other example of a user of this protocol is Threads. You can talk to Threads users with your Mastodon user without the servers having any kind of relay between them. 100 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 28/11/2024On Mastodon you create an account on any Mastodon Server and can talk to another user from another server as long as they have not blocked the server. Some servers restrict who they federate with. You can also create your own Mastodon server and just allow it to talk to any other server. 110 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 28/11/2024On Bluesky you have the choice to have your account on your own server if you wish, instead of on the official servers. You are still able to talk to other users due to the relay functionality. Account migration is also supposed to be easy (have not tried it tho) 110 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 28/11/2024Bluesky is just not as decentralized as they claim. All severs must go through a "central" relay so all the events can be correlated to each other. Mastodon uses another well established protocol, ActivityPub which is truly decentralized due to how it works. 120 2
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024Still would require some poeple that have the money run Relays to connect all PDS's to the "next" Bluesky i think. 110 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024I am gonna say no. ActivityPub is well established. Right now ATP is just the flashy new thing people wanna check out until they notice how expensive it will be to run all parts that make up your own app on it if they dont wanna be dependant on Bluesky's Relays for example. 000 0
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024Oh then thats not the case anymore because I spun up mine a and I could create a user on it and login to the main Bluesky UI no problem. 100 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024what do you mean when you say approval? Honest question because this is the first time I am hearing about this. 000 0
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024I see. If you ever wanted to run it cheaply you can just spin up a docker container on a rpi since it is so lightweight. But I see your point. Why bother at all. After a you can always download the data right from the Bluesky GUI 120 2
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024It is up to the App to get that data from the network and show you who follows you. So if you move from one Personal Data Server to another this info should not be lost as it is only YOUR activity that you move. Don't quote me on this I have been just started studying the protocol a few day back. 110 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024Your "repo" (the part where your account is stored) shows only YOUR activity (likes, follows, etc) bound do your DID (your unique ID in the network). Who follows YOU is stored on your followers repo. Your followers have an activity stored in their repo that just says "follow this DID" 110 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024I agree mastodon and activity pub are more dentral in that way. In theory though you could also manually query all PDS's you select yourself you would not need a relay for that. Then run it through an Appview and get the feed yourself. Not efficient at all and you might miss data. 010 1
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024It only works because there are Relays connecting the events from my PDS and your PDS (in this case Bluesky's). Right now the main Relays are hosted by Bluesky but it is possible to run your own and have PDS's send their events to that Relay. It is still not 100% decentralized as much as it could be 000 0
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024That would indewd be the case when the main relays would be turned off which is why is it important that more 3rd parties should start running relays for AppViews to get data from. 020 2
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024Total ownership of your data. If you create an account on the official bluesky servers, your data is hosted there. My account is on my server at home and I can still talk to you over ATproto in a decentralized manner. 020 2
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024You can host your account on your own Personal Data Server if you wanted to making it still decentralized 0100 10
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024yes, you can transfer your account to another PDS (Personal Data Server) you can even host a PDS by yourself. 020 2

theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024what a huge endorsement for bluesky. It really bothers him that there is something else that people might like more than what he has. 000 0
theneedyguy @0x01.host · 27/11/2024once there are more established atproto apps this might become a reality i guess. the protocol is still young so the potential is there. 010 1
