shovel making equipment

it's the heritage foundation, the plan is called project 2025 and it's all out in the open at this point

I wouldn't recommend it either, because it doesn't exist yet. But its extremely disingenuous to make claims about how it will work when/if it begins federating in the future and declare it EEE.

Do you have any sources for that? I've seen no indication they don't intend to release the protocol as a standard and that is a pretty big assumption

There isn't a standard because the protocol/platform doesn't exist yet. "Anyone who wants to connect will be entirely beholden to get the latest published version from Bluesky" is just the definition of a standard. Every standard is maintained by someone. And its also not EEE to make an entirely new system. They are neither embracing nor extending activitypub. They are trying something of their own.

What do you mean it's not intended to be an open protocol? There is no other reason for it to exist

It will be federated, but not with activitypub. It looks like they're developing a more comprehensive system for federation

Spotify doesn't make changes like that on its own, the artist probably did that for a reason

Been using this for a few days now, extremely useful, much better than searching all over like I was before lol. Thanks for your work!

This sounds like an extremely annoying way to do things on mobile

The problem is it takes time and money to do that, which you can't really get without some kind of structure. I've been wondering what a tech cooperative might look like lately. All the weight of a company like reddit, but owned by the users

Those numbers hardly describe a "plunge". Much lower impact than I had hoped honestly
