Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
They’re right that the age verification shenanigans are bollocks though.
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.
Ok, to read someone’s post, it has to be written somewhere by that someone. So a firehose is definitely writable. If it is anything like you say in your last post, then only identity is decentralized.
I’ll investigate on my own some rainy day, many thanks for your effort.
