As Bluesky begins to open up more and more, it’s felt more pertinent to try to wrap my head around it. To help in this, I decided to write out my rough understanding of it from its documentation, in the hopes that it may help others and myself with any corrections from misunderstandings....

We sat down and chatted with Shawn Grigson from Oliphant, who gave us a fascinating and detailed view of what crowdsourced community moderation looks like....
Hi friends, I managed to get a few services running (Mobilizon, Mastodon, PeerTube etc.), and I’m just now realizing that by default none of these federated networks are subscribed to anything?...
For context: I recently set up a Funkwhale instance for Communick subscribers, where people can upload their music collection, stream on mobile/web and share with their friends. That’s useful already and can be thought of as a replacement to the original Google Play Music, but I guess that those with large music collections...
It’s been inaccessible for roughly 24hrs right now and I’m having a hard time finding any group talking about it. Was there a change recently, or some kind of an explanation posted?
