#[KevinMarks]The point of atproto is that it splits the hosting of messages from the sharing of them with a search engine like crawler model they call relay and appview. Making another one of those is a decent sized engineering effort, but it's what you need to be independent from bsky in.
#[KevinMarks]This is a fundraiser for building one of these. Arguably it could be better if, say, wikimedia or the Internet Archive built one, but this is a plausible approach
klymilark, hidjy[d], aaronpk, sebbu, teasea, rossabaker, stefen, jonnybarnes, petermolnar, jgee, oakridge and ghostwolf joined the channel; scattershot1 left the channel
#[snarfed]marginally more expensive, $150/mo baseline for a relay or appview vs say $5-10/mo baseline for a PDS
#[snarfed]and they did use the word "build," but I hope they start with just running solid, full-network instances of the reference relay and appview implementations, instead of (or at least before) actually building their own
#[snarfed]right now diversity of instances will add much more immediate value to the ATProto ecosystem than diversity of implementations
#Loqifriendly reminder [snarfed], can you move the tech talk (PDS, ATProto) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
