Welp. Elon Musk could finally face criminal charges in Wisconsin for handing out million dollar checks to voters in that state’s Supreme Court election in 2025. A bipartisan election commission just voted 5-1 across party lines to refer Musk’s vote bribes to a local prosecutor. But from there it gets murky. My write-up in the link in the comments.

@cwebber I think you have it backwards...

Mastodon is the protocol (specifically, it's a decentralized blockchain protocol), and Bluesky is just a Layer-2 dApp built on top of it. The underlying tech you're trying to reference is ATProto, which actually stands for Asynchronous Token Protocol.

It’s honestly a pretty elegant stack if you actually understand distributed systems, but I get why someone would be confused by the nomenclature.

To really wrap your head around this, you need to stop thinking about it like a social network and start thinking about it as a fungible data layer.

@cwebber I think it works by bouncing signals from your computer off of the atmosphere (hence the name "blue sky" it can only work well in clear weather). If it's cloudy it instead saves your messages in the clouds until the weather becomes clear, that's why we call it cloud storage.

@cwebber it uses the AT protocol, the same one used by many modems and invented for the Hayes Smartmodem in 1981

@cwebber

Well, first of all, you need a pigeon who is from some place near the recipient's house. You take your tweet and attach it to the bird's leg and let it go, and it flies across the blue sky towards home, where it knows it can find food. There it joins its home feed and the message is received.

Be sure to trade a few pigeons with your friends whenever you go calling, so you can keep using the blue sky protocol.

every time you make a bargain with the Technical Debt Devil and implement a temporary solution or prioritize chasing trends over core functionality, think soberly on the the Hooglandse Church in Leiden, which was meant to be a stunning architectural masterpiece but they spent all their budget on superficial bling, never actually finished the “building” part of the building, and had to hurriedly hammer a stubby wooden cap on the foundations for the envisioned grand tower. It’s been “temporary” for four hundred years.

The interior has iron braces everywhere to hold it together even though the physics of a good, extraordinarily stable arch have been well understood for thousands of years.
