the .bsky.social is the main instance. The bridge acts as another instance.

For example one of my friends has a ATProtocol account hosted on the fellas.social instance, so his username is @johndoe.fellas.social

it basically works like lemmy and mastodon in that regard

The main difference with lemmy/fediverse is that instances don’t actually host the software, they just host the database. So it’s plug and play into any open source ATProtocol software. This dramatically decreases server loads and makes hosting an instance or your data cheaper but also means that software is more intensive to host.

its opt in and the bridge is only a single instance so you can defederate from the instance

I guess my private server and open source appview conntected to the ATprotocol are a conspiracy theory then?

Yes the vast majority of people are on the main instance, but the protocol and software are decentralised. And bluesky the PBC is actually providing grants for people to set up alternative servers to speed up the decentralisation process.

Bluesky is far from perfect but I’ve been quite disappointed by the “Fedi Good bluesky bad” oversimplifying and villification that has been going on here recently.

There are tens of thousands of accounts opted into the bridge.

It’s a Public Benefit Corp structure, so legally investors have very little power.

bluesky has a couple disability friendly features both mastodon and X don’t have.

ditto

Hiiiii

UK National Health Service Website:

FAQ: Can I take [X] for long periods?

[paracetamol]

It’s safe to take paracetamol regularly for many years as long as you do not take more than the recommended dose.

[ibuprofen]

If you still need ibuprofen after taking it for 10 days (or for 3 days if you’re under 18) check with your doctor before continuing. If you need to take ibuprofen tablets, capsules, granules or liquid for a long time and you’re at risk of getting a stomach ulcer, your doctor may prescribe a medicine to help protect your stomach.

Idk if you’re just saying this out of the blue or comparing what I’m saying to that.

But NSAID’s like ibuprofen are quite strong and have lots of side effects. Regular usage can have quite some negative impacts on health. In comparison CBD oil is pretty gentle.

Ibuprofen is pretty fucking strong. I stick with CBD and paracetamol and I’m bedridden with a painful disease.

duckduckgo and searx using duckduckgo work fine

Bluesky is mostly moderated by collarborative community blocklists, and so far atleast, the experience has been great.

And do remember that bluesky is simply a privately owned server for a FOSS protocol and frontend.

I mean bsky gained an influx of 1.5 million in past few days.

Really? I’ve had to block maybe one person, but the moderation lists are really well curated and crowdsourced so it mostly hasn’t been a problem.

Thanks that’s helpful. I’ll wait it out I guess as I’m not upto tinkering with the API right now.

Yeah, I know that’s not possible as of now. Just wondering if there is a simpler way to get a copy of my comments and posts than using a web scraper.

Wondering about Lemmy specifically. I know there’s an export option for settings though.

I think you’re onto something with that :)
