Banning developers who make things on at proto makes me so much less excited about bluesky
How is this to work if you ban folks for *checks notes*… reading the firehose?
Isn’t the whole point that you can make your own feed?

Alpin was permanently banned from bsky for this.

Bluesky people it is bad to listen to mobs who are blindly against ML because they don’t understand it
Did you know that 99% of email today is spam? Your inbox isn’t 99% spam because AI is used to filter it.
The same 99% will happen here too, but if AI researchers continue to get perma-banned for making available the datasets needed to filter it, it’s going to make this platform unusable.

An AI researcher that wants to stop big tech owning everything was permabanned here for releasing a dataset of 2M posts.
A librarian received death threats for a 1M post dataset.
The EU funded the creation of this dataset of 235M posts months ago, and… nothing?

I feel like a social network can only be healthy if it is possible for someone to anger a subset of the network without being obliterated.
Obviously this isn't true for all topics, but a personal hope for BS is that mobs are harder to form and gain outsized leverage.

buying a cluster on sfcompute.com will now give you a kubernetes cluster!
this is our managed k8s service and we're really excited about it, because it will let us scale to far far more compute

i think blue sky will have a lot of mobs in the early days, because a good portion of people who left twitter came not for the at proto, but because they were doing mob-behavior against twitter
so im guessing a large set of the userbase are explicitly into being angry mobs

I would like a bsky-native "status page" or incident response product
there are probably lots of interesting startups to be done if bsky becomes "the platform"

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.
I blogged about it here:
