Forgive me if someone asked this already and I can't find it in the comments.

I don't use Fresh. Serverless is kind of a weird offering that forces developers to do a lot of work to adjust their programs to running all over the place. I even wish Deno had never supported NPM because that ruined their differentiator.

I'm going to keep using Deno and I hope they use this opportunity to refocus on their core product offering so that I can move back to using it from this VPS that is hosting all of my Deno servers right now.

This isn't just on Paul, Jay has publically stated that she doesn't believe users (even powerusers) can be trusted with keypairs.

The actual SSB codebase has been kind of broken since 2020, but I have a fork on my own Github that works and comes with a basic client that you can vibe/claw on top of: https://github.com/evbogue/ssbc

I'm happy to supply pub invites to anyone who wants to play around with the old sbot with me as we work towards making social media distributed again.

I'll do an:// urls if you bring yourself and your code agent to myproto for an afternoon.

Almost all ATProto apps just fetch posts by handle => did:plc => post-type aka "lexicon", so they depend on what Bluesky decides to give them. If someone were to introduce unknowns into the flagship product's "lexicon" they could fix that at the API or Indexing level before shipping this data to the apps that depend on their API.

An actually decentralized network would have to overcome Moxie's criticism of the ecosystem. Can it be done? We'll keep trying.

After reading the docs at https://atproto.com/specs/at-uri-scheme and building applications that integrate with the Bluesky API, it’s clear why this format is useful for interacting with their system. For developers working outside the ATMosphere, however, it may feel less familiar compared to more conventional REST API patterns.
