@douwe core concept: accounts are hosted separately from apps, so one account logs you in everywhere.
All data is stored in your account, and different apps can re-use types of data (called Lexicons).
Here’s a second view of the bookmarks I linked above, in a different app https://margin.at/bmann.ca/collection/3m5u77miiyf2h
Apps can be quite simple, because functions are spread across different parts of the architecture.
Feel free to ask more! My atproto account is bridged here @bmann.ca
@douwe heya!
Here are some #atproto resources both architecture & conceptual https://semble.so/profile/bmann.ca/collections/3m5u77miiyf2h
My own Beyond Microblogging talk is a bit dated but will give you examples and a crash course https://bmannconsulting.com/notes/beyond-microblogging-atproto/
@mcc for illegal content (what is described as network abuse & infra moderation here https://docs.bsky.app/blog/blueskys-moderation-architecture) they likely take down the entire account
Yes Bsky _could_ delete posts by like … accessing the blob directory or deleting/editing SQLlite on disk but that’s tinkering. There’s no like masquerade as Boris function to do this in any sort of consolidated way across accounts.
Just like Google _could_ delete something in GDrive.
@makeworld yes I’m not disagreeing!
The “source” is where someone’s account is hosted - a PDS. So, bsky PDS vs somewhere else.
And then the API end points would again be a PDS or appview hosted by someone.
If you’re on your own PDS anyone can fetch from you directly.
@makeworld @mcc it’s all labels
These are labels applied to posts, yes? !takedown is the one I always forget / don't have a good reference for since it's not on this page as a "global" label https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/moderation Is that an account level takedown or a post level takedown?
Bluesky Social (bsky.app)
@mcc Bsky doesn’t have auth on your account and can’t delete individual posts.
The user can delete posts as they like and then it’s truly deleted and can’t be queried.
@mcc accounts get taken down! Posts do not / individual posts doesn’t get removed out of the repo (would also break verification of a repo and is detectable)
yes apps all choose their validation (and for that matter strong types). Regardless it’s not the relay that’s doing it if you’d like to be correct about where locus of control is.
@mcc Content doesn’t get removed from the PDS it would be hidden by labels - accounts do have takedown labels applied.
Bluesky operated relay doesn’t censor Lexicons that don’t validate and it doesn’t enforce moderation.
For those following along at home the relay costs about $30/month to run for all ~38M accounts worth of content.
