Interested in revisiting setting up my own PDS again, does anyone have some updated resources they could give me? I work 60+ hours a week but i’d love to put in some work on it in my free time :)

the solution to atproto decentralization is to stop whining to bluesky pbc about how they need to decentralize and to instead start putting in the work of hosting alternative servers, owning your rotation keys, creating uis to make this easy for people, and host your own data

I should explain lol, Discord has new embeds for Bluesky that include pulling video mp4s from your PDS and fronting them with their own CDN. this is (a very narrow slice of) an AppView!
very protocol, very AT. we love to see it!

The atproto/Bluesky protocol is fully open and highly decentralized.
Just like the web was.
The current atproto/Bluesky network is fairly centralized because it’s so new there aren’t many network providers yet.

Bluesky is proof that cryptocurrency isn't a core tenant of decentralization. The team demonstrated extreme levels of pragmatism by leveraging new and existing technologies to produce something people actually use.

It means Bluesky is now actually operating on the Federation Architecture model described in this blog post
Federation Architecture Overview
Soon, we’re launching a sandbox environment for federation. In advance, we want to share some technical details about our design decisions.

instead of the old path
PDS -> AppView
This took significant work by @why.bsky.team and @jaz.bsky.social with support from @divy.zone and @dholms.xyz
Big milestone in the v2 scaling effort because it enables multiple Bluesky PDS instances!

Women weren't allowed to take out credit cards until 1974 and you could be barred from credit cards if you were gay in the 80s and 90s, so it's actually very feminist and pro-LGBT of me to have a maxed out credit card

Algorithmic choice isn't a silver bullet for avoiding "bad algorithms", though.
Whatever algorithms other people are choosing, on average, will shape which posts people get shown most, creating feedback loops. There's a meta-algorithm, effectively.

People keep saying bluesky has "no algorithm" but that's not really true. What it *does* have is algorithmic choice. If you want a reverse-chronological timeline, you can have it. If you want only images of cats, you can have that. If you want a magic Algorithm, the discover feed (et al.) has it
