FWIW, it's perhaps worth noting that when Benjamin Franklin visited France between 1776 and 1778 to ask for military support for the then-new-formed United States of America, he wore a coonskin cap. "Proper" French court attire at this time was a powdered wig.

Bluesky is an open network. This means we can eventually sort ourselves onto two apps, one that calls them posts and one that calls them skeets. All without losing our friends or followers.

One of the biggest innovations in bsky is, for user accounts, separating identity and discovery. I.e. you can have an identity of, say, h.olysh.it without hosting a server on olysh.it.

This is something a lot of systems get wrong.
