The early lead by @katie.bzky.team was shortlived as @jamellebouie.net continues to run away with this election. And, I gotta tell you, what's really interesting me is the absolute insurgence of @moara.bsky.social to 8th place over the past 5 hours

Cut from an essay but worth sharing, this is the list of projects I can recall from memory that has tried to make the internet more open. A lot of people have committed their careers to this. People care!
- RSS + Atom
  - arguably the most successful, given podcasts
- RDF & the Semantic Web
- SOLID, subsequently
- CouchDB
- IPFS
- Dat
- BitTorrent arguably
  - but it was always more file-oriented than web-brained
- Ethereum
  - yes, I include it
- ActivityPub
- StatusNet
- Tent
- Friendica
- PubSubHubbub
  - I am not making these up!
- OStatus
- Diaspora
- XMPP
- Nostr
- Secure Scuttlebutt

Paul Frazee posts technical, optimistic updates about AT Protocol, relays, and decentralized social architecture, often breaking down developer tools with an enthusiastic and casual tone.Example Postreal talk: the amount of infrastructure available for atproto builders right now is wild. between jetstream, the relays, and open apis, we aren't just building a single app—we're unlocking an entire open social graph. go build cool stuff!!

Reducing load on the primary
Challenge: With only one writer, a single-primary setup can’t scale writes. Heavy write spikes can quickly overload the primary and impact services like ChatGPT and our API.

Solution: We minimize load on the primary as much as possible—both reads and writes—to ensure it has sufficient capacity to handle write spikes. Read traffic is offloaded to replicas wherever possible. However, some read queries must remain on the primary because they’re part of write transactions. For those, we focus on ensuring they’re efficient and avoid slow queries. For write traffic, we’ve migrated shardable, write-heavy workloads to sharded systems such as Azure CosmosDB. Workloads that are harder to shard but still generate high write volume take longer to migrate, and that process is still ongoing. We also aggressively optimized our applications to reduce write load; for example, we’ve fixed application bugs that caused redundant writes and introduced lazy writes, where appropriate, to smooth traffic spikes. In addition, when backfilling table fields, we enforce strict rate limits to prevent excessive write pressure.
