They’re right that the age verification shenanigans are bollocks though.

What do I need to run an atproto application?

Thanks! In the tutorial, they mention listening to the firehose. I’m not able to wrap my head around this (singular) firehose. But I remember seeing this initiative trying to crowdsource 30 million dollars to run one for 3 years Can you elaborate on that and help me understand better?

Thanks for your effort! I genuinely appreciate it!
Maybe I misunderstand, but what I gather from your writing, is that bluesky might become decentralized in the future, if a decent amount of separate groups manage to raise 30 million dollars each.

Ok, let’s say I create the 2nd firehose in existance, could you elaborate on how I would get everyone to read and write to it? Would I have to merge the bluesky firehose to mine, or have I effectively split the network until someone creates a third firehose that merges both? What if bluesky doesn’t care about my firehose, how will their users ever see my posts?
Please rest assured I ask out of genuine curiosity, I don’t expect you to have all the answers. But I might as well try my luck as you seem knowledgeable.
Thanks!

When one administrative group controls all the servers is it decentralised?
