i’m excited about it!

https://staging.bsky.social/profile/klatz.co

why?

it solves a lot of twitter and mastodon’s problems. the devs are cool people. i’ve used twitter ~every day for eight years, and have many times not written useful code for myself because i knew it risked getting killed by twitter.

what’s cool about it?

domain name handles.

a collection of smart people who’ve thought for a long time about how to architect things shaped like twitter’s access pattern in a healthily decentralized way.

risks

standard social media >1mil users problems. illegal content.

federation shattering into islands like mastodon’s various unpleasant cultural tics.
