I don’t think anyone is suggesting that Bluesky’s decentralization is here or substantial. It might be in the future, but it certainly isn’t now. The point is more that we should learn from their feature set, because they have some features that are very decentralizing of power within a social network, even though they run on centralized rails.

If there is only one central data source, then it would seem the benefit of having may independent data relays is only relevant in niche censorship scenarios. Lmk if I’m missing something

Why not? What’s fundamentally different about Bluesky’s architecture that makes it more expensive to run?

No.

The “relay” is an optimization and you can run your own. I think you’re confusing it for the actual data store, which can also run your own though indeed no one does. Maybe your info is out of date?

Sorry, the second question was meant to be more… How do they play to add more redundancy in the data servers, and in that future state how would they handle it if the ‘top’ server went down?

Sure, but the only difference between that and nostr is clients defaulting to connecting to more than one data hub. It’s big in practice, but to suggest we should dismiss Bluesky out of hand and not bother to learn from the cool other stuff they’ve built because of that one difference is…. Weird?

Sweet! I have a mesh node with store and repeat on long range that my local ham club runs near me. It's at about 7900ft, top of a mountain. I can usually hit it from 50 miles plus. No idea what hardware it has. Never looked.

Or, how do they plan to go from one to many data relays?

PWA? or native?

So, nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6, the founder of Nostr, now uses a client which randomly adds meaningless "e" tags of type "mention" when he replies to a thread, pointing to some previous item on the thread. The standard thing for a client to do when displaying such posts would be that of showing the referenced note as a quoted note. I don't think this is the intention. Why do client include tags that make no sense? See this posts for instance: nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqqsyrugq33u5gmnzlm74k3ke974txvg2xkgfdsdz8gufxfkh4x37xvcg8764u nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqqs25gcgd4c8356tlhl2wgrefhh6s0hnzedmhcsjgz6xhp4h2mvc2ng0urenl nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqqsg3szzyxr2ckav425thg2ygelf0xhspwrcx5chwrc6yjw2wgkjfqcuu4ck2 nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqqsqsk3wnha6cl0x2p6x70p09pyze483509el9rup6ytjaj26kydjvqv9zfrf
