@medus4.com It's not private or decentralized though is it?Everything is public and there's a central point of censorship for governments to target in the firehose, no? The PDSs and custom domain names are a great start though.
@bmann.ca Good to know ty. And yeah the atproto network is pretty decentralized. I just wasn't sure about the main bsky app.
@bmann.ca Excellent resources, ty for your patience explaining things. 🙇
@bmann.ca Yeah I did a talk recently where I compared ATProto/ActivityPub/Nostr so I've been a bit more involved lately. TBH I think I like the model of Nostr the most though I'm not very into Bitcoin. I'm not as into "global public square" concept than some sadly. 😅
@bmann.ca Sorry just to confirm by "app layer" do you mean the appview for bsky or the literal client side application?
If it’s for a specific government, then client through moderation labels (I can still see in Canada)
@laurenshof.online has a good write up of the process for Turkey fediversereport.com/bluesky-cens...
Bluesky, censorship and countr...
The relays work with other front ends, clients, and other ATProto data types that are building their own stuff. deer .social and zeppelin are two examples. Bsky the company has been filtering at the app layer - data is on the PDS, relay is a cache. Other clients still display.
