My muscle memory is far too ingrained 😭
On bluesky/atproto, your handle is a hostname and is only recognized valid if you control that hostname. Basically the same as rel=me except it’s a .well-known file instead of a html tag
This was true for a while but they’re updating the sync protocol to support sharding etc. people are running full network relays off a raspberry pi
The authentication parts uses a standard w3c developed format called DID. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_identifier it’s basically a more general form of a url that must point to a specially formatted file. There are several did methods. atproto supports did:web which stores the doc at a user-set http URL path, and also did:PLC which stores the doc in a special database controlled by bsky. They plan (hopefully) add more methods in the future.
But yeah, the currently supported did:web authentication method is fully independent of bsky inc
The concept of democracy came about around that time too (at least the Greek one, which arguably wasn’t the first but I digress)
The Athenian concept of democracy had existed for the better part of a millennium by the time Christianity appeared.
Yes, which is why the USSR never once in its history claimed to have built communism. The best they claimed was “developed socialism” with promises to build Communism someday
To be fair, this is pretty similar to the way American press covered the rise of German fascism at the time
They don’t even use absurd amounts of energy. I literally have one running on my computer at home
People get these confused a lot, but russia has 2 coups in the 90s-
1991 was a failed anti-reformist “left wing” coup that deposed Gorbachev and ended with the fall of the USSR and Yeltsin in power.
1993 was a successful right wing self-coup that allowed Yeltsin to fully consolidate power away from the Russian parliament and towards the presidency. More hamfisted and violent, but in essence similar to what is happening in the US right now
The freshrss GitHub has a list of supported iphone apps and indicates some of them work offline. https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS?tab=readme-ov-file#apis--native-apps
For all that Russia is an imperialist police state, our e-government services are pretty slick too

That’s cute but as a rule when dealing with the government, physical access is root access
uhh could you clarify for me how the fediverse works? I thought it was like 90% mastodon which is very much the twitter format
It might, but actual leftists should object to that framing
Not strictly speaking. Bluesky supports did:web as well as did:plc, and with any luck they’ll add more decentralized methods
now i’m sad that this is (afaik) impossible in the future with everything switching to wayland
