@aberratejuniorbeatnik @penquin I found a nice page with statistics about the different messengers: engage.sinch.com/blog/most-pop…

It seems that only in the US more people are using iMessage than WhatsApp.

@FiskFisk33 @remotelove Yeah, I find it rather interesting, that DMC was able to built a car that had none of the issues more than 40 years ago - which means that it is a doable task. So Tesla simply ignored it.

@heavyboots No, I don't speak about any front end tool. There are API endpoints, relay servers and so on. These all can easily be used to receive a lot of data.

@downpunxx @fin Well, it is possible without any problem, to create a "fire hose" out of Fediverse data as well. So when someone wanted to analyze your posts, then this could be done easily with the Fediverse as well.

@erre @fin You can create custom feeds that are based on your desired content. There are external services for that.

@hedge Will be interesting to see, if there will be other servers, so that it really will be decentralized.

@alyaza I have to think of Bluesky, which is also a PBLLC and they took external money. We will see how this will develop.

@throwslemy Hyperloop is a solution for a non existing problem. There are already fast landline based systems. You can go really fast on rails (see Japan) or you can use a maglev.

@0x4E4F Yeah, see the Wikipedia article about "Metallicity".

@Alto @0x4E4F BTW: For astrophysicist every element except Helium and Hydrogen is metal.

@loki @dawnerd Well, since the accounts are now moved to their specific hosts, you can use these hostnames instead of the generic one when using their protocol. The only action where you currently still need the generic bluesky host name (bsky.app) is during some account related activities.

The different hosts already talk to each other using the same protocol that is already in use for third parties who interact with bluesky (like alternate clients or custom feeds). The only thing that currently prevents "real" decentralization is the user registry.

From the outside it appears as if it all was some monolithic block. But this is only the case since the default usernames are using the bsky.social hostname. But in fact you can already use your own hostnames for your account, since the account is not locked to any hostname but to some unique hash. (Which is one of the advantages of their protocol and which we really should implement in the Fediverse as well to perform real account portability)

@loki What do you mean exactly with "other instances" in this context?

@notepass No. In difference to regular scaling you can see the host of your account. These are separate systems that communicate via Bluesky's protocol and not via the regular scaling mechanisms.

@throwslemy @noodlejetski The registry still is centralized, but the users already are distributed across multiple servers that talk to each other using that protocol.

@Fizz @throwslemy Well, there are accounts from deceased people. Their posts will then be gone.

@mint @explorebroaden On Bluesky the people used a still image from the video to identify the apps on her phone - and Twitter isn't even on the start page, but Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Signal, ...
