Hey fantastic Bryan & team! Congrats on hitting this milestone. I'm so curious to hear more! How operationally will the association run? Does it start out with the bluesky team and/or board as the plc board? Are other folks coming on for the new entity now or over time?
4/50
bnewbold.net
there may be a small degree of overlap, but it should be majority-not-bluesky. funding and tech support will likely be bsky to start. the main thing will be setting policies and future direction. we are in talks with some great external folks to be involved and hope to announce names before too long

Incredible! Massive thanks and kudos to everyone involved
very comforting to see that the atproto team is internationally pragmatic and not bound to one locality.
I suggest enabling Discussions on the did-method-plc repo and moving all existing DID discussions from the atproto repo over there.

That depends what they're trying to defend against. If they're the adversary or they're being compelled to be the adversary by someone hitting them with hammers then having the same guys but a with swiss legal entity doesn't help. But if their problem is some legal process in the US, it does

We have a public, OSS, ww, ledger of self-sovereign, user-managed, friendly IDs that can support DID protocols, as well as other decentralized ID and proof models. Early in your genesis, we offered a free/rent-free donation to you & all BlueSky users to support your vision. The offer stands. 1/
18/50
mackuba.eu
Which ledger is that?
19/50
miketout.bsky.social
Protocol is PBaaS (Public Blockchains as a Service). First ledger (of 4 now) was Verus: verus.io/verusid. Offer anticipates a PBaaS ledger owned and run by BlueSky worldwide community, as the protocol supports unlimited, cryptographically provable, connected ledgers, all with their own ID support.

White paper era crypto project?
21/50
miketout.bsky.social
I will take that w/o prejudice. No white paper. No promise. Only vision and offer for others to help. No preallocation. No VC. All technology described in vision plus a lot more completed. 100% uptime since launch, and a growing community ever since. We were simply ahead of the curve.

just a question based on this link:

https://verus.io/papers/verusvision.pdf
23/50
miketout.bsky.social
That is explicitly not a white paper. It is a vision paper with no promise or roadmap. We did not sell or have something to sell. Founders only mined and staked along with everyone else worldwide, and donated most of that to contributors. Everything described there + a lot more is complete.

Don't fully understand, will our Pds's move to Switzerland?

I'm not even certain that any data is moving.
What's happening is they the phone book that apps rely on to figure out how to contact users is moving jurisdictions.

The data of the phone book will also move.

Yeah! I read that and still don't know. Is the origin still remaining in the same place? Are we talking just about read replicas? (All of that is probably fine pragmatically)

the main thing is that this org can make that decision on their own.
I'd personally like to see it end up in Switzerland or a similar jurisdiction, but also want to keep performance and operations simple (replicas help with that).

43/50
peterswimm.com
⸻
If Bluesky is to function as a public trust, moderation should focus on publishing (content) — not erasing the graph (relationships).
Graph-level intervention should only happen when leaving connections intact would cause material harm to people (e.g. stalking, coordinated abuse).
44/50
peterswimm.com
Otherwise, preserve identity + graph continuity, and let moderation services work at the edges where speech meets reach.
45/50
peterswimm.com
If auto-bans are happening for people dunking on dead nazis, or trying to raise money for war refugees, that’s a red flag.
46/50
peterswimm.com
Moderation should target harmful behavior, not just unpopular speech.
Who decides when criticism crosses the line, and are those decisions transparent?
47/50

if this is your social identity you have to make sure as hell that blocking your access to services isn’t easily exploitable by bad actors.

yup exactly^
30/47
knotbin.com
so you don't allow incoming migrations from accounts created on other PDSes?
31/47
dholms.xyz
no not yet. for exactly the reason you mention - that we need to send them through the captcha
we'll probably enable this once we have an account migration UI on the bluesky PDS
32/47
baileytownsend.dev
Been thinking about that last bit a lot. A migration UI on the PDS. Is there anywhere that work is scoped out? I'm not super familiar with react, but may be worth combing some effort there instead of me working on PDS MOOver improvements
33/47
dholms.xyz
not yet! i'm hoping this is something we can get to in maybe 2-3 mo time. i'll try to post updates as we get to it, but if you have any thoughts in the meantime i'm eager to hear them
fwiw, i think it'll always be worth it to have a non-PDS migration utility esp in the case of adversarial migration
34/47
baileytownsend.dev
Awesome! I think the biggest thing would be with it being hosted by the PDS the PDS_RATE_LIMIT_BYPASS_KEY can be set on the backend with the migration tool. Bit unfeasible for third party tools atm to use it since there's not that trust.
and blob upload rate limits hit pretty hard sometimes.
35/47
baileytownsend.dev
Don't have an idea on this one yet, but might help with those 100mb+ repo imports as well.
Excited to hear more about it! I think it'll be a cool thing to have for regular migrations

30/47
knotbin.comso you don't allow incoming migrations from accounts created on other PDSes?
31/47
dholms.xyzno not yet. for exactly the reason you mention - that we need to send them through the captcha
we'll probably enable this once we have an account migration UI on the bluesky PDS
32/47
baileytownsend.devBeen thinking about that last bit a lot. A migration UI on the PDS. Is there anywhere that work is scoped out? I'm not super familiar with react, but may be worth combing some effort there instead of me working on PDS MOOver improvements
33/47
dholms.xyznot yet! i'm hoping this is something we can get to in maybe 2-3 mo time. i'll try to post updates as we get to it, but if you have any thoughts in the meantime i'm eager to hear them
fwiw, i think it'll always be worth it to have a non-PDS migration utility esp in the case of adversarial migration
34/47
baileytownsend.devAwesome! I think the biggest thing would be with it being hosted by the PDS the PDS_RATE_LIMIT_BYPASS_KEY can be set on the backend with the migration tool. Bit unfeasible for third party tools atm to use it since there's not that trust.
and blob upload rate limits hit pretty hard sometimes.
35/47
baileytownsend.devDon't have an idea on this one yet, but might help with those 100mb+ repo imports as well.
Excited to hear more about it! I think it'll be a cool thing to have for regular migrations
36/47
thisismissem.socialPerhaps trusted clients in OAuth can help here where we can "trust" your client ID more and have different rate limits for it?

hello.j23n.comThis is great news! It's really encouraging that you keep working on opening up the tools around ATproto and encourage openness instead of closing off the moat. Thank you!

I am not at all tech savvy.
So what is PDS exactly?
What does PDS mean?
What does PDS signify?
Thank you for your help.
43/47
sharpiepls.comi made a brief explanation video on how bluesky works and it is kinda explained in this video, but PDS stands for "Personal Data Server"
your atproto (bluesky) account is hosted there !!
44/47
sharpiepls.comif you're interested in following up on this, here are some sources to follow down the @atproto.com rabbit hole!

I'd say it's 90% US centric, as the UK does get some content that's centered there. You may notice, most of the English speaking population (as a first language) lives in the US and the UK. Apologies to low population English speaking countries, and no apologies to places that don't speak English.

Oh, that's not what I mean - if I keep this option blank, I still get the same stuff in trends as if I had just English. Especially US stuff is so popular, they usually take top 4. There doesn't seem to be any other trends. If I pick French, German, Spanish, Portuguese - no trends at all.

But on mobile, X has slightly fewer active users than a year ago, while Threads has almost caught up to X. Meanwhile, Bluesky has less than 1% of X/Threads's

The eternally-great thing about open source: if something doesn't exist, and the devs don't have time to work on it themselves, you can just implement it for them!

No, it goes beyond the open source requirement, it is an open service.

phill.hallambaker.com

In theory, creators of banned media can move to another service.
