@thenexusofprivacy Great article Jon!
I've recently started classifying news about Blacksky under the ATmosphere category as a small nod towards the idea that Blacksky should be seen as its own entity outside of Bluesky
I feel like Blacksky is pretty close to a state where it could actually survive in case of a catastrophic failure of Bluesky, purely on social reasons, it seems they got strong enough network ties. (tech is an irrelevant sideshow here)
@laurenshof thanks, glad you like it! And yeah, agree -- it'd be down for a bit and it might take a while to come up with their own apps (but OpenVibe et al can buffer that).
yeah, hard part is the appview, but in a way a feed gen is sort of a partial appview anyway. so in that hypothetical im not even sure the best direction would even be to replicate the bluesky appview, instead build their own expanded version of the blacksky feed gen instead
def not something you can do instantly, but it seems to me that in case of bluesky failure there is enough social interest from blacksky to keep working on their community
