Well... tbh, i have good vision and i can't read it easily. I don't think it'll work and if it does it won't foe very long, it's just a cool design thing making a statment while potentially looking good on a poster
Considering legacy social media often allow a display-name differing from the username, i'm not sure this will have a very different effect on online communities then what we can already observe in contemporary impersonation scams. However, vigilance has always been necessary online, and is probably going to be all the more important in a context of DID/SSI/VCs
The way i see it, paltform leveraging DID/SSI/VC will have the burden of responsibility to provide meaningful ways for users to verify the authenticity of their peers. "Responsibility" being avoided at all cost in most commercial online contexts, i'm expecting it to be a painful process to begin with. It will boil down to how well we do as communities, and as a specie, at transferring knowledge among us.
You'd have to ask my tinfoil cats about the details. I'm still reluctant to attribute these "people" with the hormones necessary for cooperation, coordination, or anything starting with "co-" really...
My tinfoil cats are mewoing about a coordinated effort accros the IT sector to make one year with insane profit and the added side effect of lowering the wages accros the sector.
To be fair, the last time anyone had to paste their key into a shiny new app was probably 2 years ago. Most users today will have a signer that the private key never leaves. And key-rotation is definitely on it's way, it's getting time pressing :D
I'm not sure any social media should ever be used for secrecy or privacy, be it nostr or whateverland.eeaah™. Which is a social question, not so much technical. Meanwhile, i think it's pretty good to democratize the knowledge of key-management. After all, privacy and security on-line is more a matter of hygiene then it will ever be an app.
Ok, to read someone's post, it has to be written somewhere by that someone. So a firehose is definitely writable. If it is anything like you say in your last post, then only identity is decentralized.
I'll investigate on my own some rainy day, many thanks for your effort.
Ok, let's say I create the 2nd firehose in existance, could you elaborate on how I would get everyone to read and write to it? Would I have to merge the bluesky firehose to mine, or have I effectively split the network until someone creates a third firehose that merges both? What if bluesky doesn't care about my firehose, how will their users ever see my posts?
Please rest assured I ask out of genuine curiosity, I don't expect you to have all the answers. But I might as well try my luck as you seem knowledgeable.
Thanks for your effort! I genuinely appreciate it!
Maybe I misunderstand, but what I gather from your writing, is that bluesky might become decentralized in the future, if a decent amount of separate groups manage to raise 30 million dollars each.
Funky coincidence! This was posted earlier today in the dyne telegram channel: https://github.com/nethical6/conversation-steganography

For sure! Cool font though!
I'm not sure it is different from regular signature. Afaiu, it's a programming language for composable zero knowledge proofs.
wow!
not practical.. not yet anyways. but running a node is on the agenda of my next hacking weekend

fuck off ai music members be like:
Ye. The cybergods will quantum donedid the author for sure: blesseings because wtf genius, cursings because "pwEAsE in$tALl cHroWmiUm"
hahah! so then the user curbs, goes to social media to open an account, and bam:

On a comical tangent, this popped up in the feed yesterday. It made me reflect over your input and chuckle. I figure it might make you laugh too 😅 https://jumble.social/notes/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq5xeflpdskqvdq4swxj59793uvdzqzc9pzatjk3nhmcg2h0js8trqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qpqzj6rzszq2ljccvqdswaccuag2m62y6asfw3rrvtxvacza39jy2uscksd8c
Very good points, thanks for elaborating!

PGP/GPG anyone? Either way, I for one am excited to see how much longer they're non-rotatable.

Thanks! In the tutorial, they mention listening to the firehose. I'm not able to wrap my head around this (singular) firehose. But I remember seeing this initiative trying to crowdsource 30 million dollars to run one for 3 years Can you elaborate on that and help me understand better?

What do I need to run an atproto application?
