@mastodonmigration FYI: "Progress has also been made on formation of an independent PLC Organization, with an update to be shared at AtmosphereConf later this week." https://atproto.com/blog/2026-spring-roadmap

@fmarini ok, I have 18.7.2…

@pointlessone they do, but only for devices that don't support iOS 26. If you can install iOS 26, you don't get the patch even if it's available to install on your old phone…

Fuck… I'm gonna have to install liquid ass, am I not

@blogdiva They've been pretty open about the fact that they can access the DMs and so you shouldn't use them for anything very sensitive, they said "if you want private DMs, then just use the DMs here to exchange contacts on Signal and do the conversation on Signal"

@jandi @blogdiva They said before Dorsey owns no shares at all.

@blogdiva Follows, blocks, reposts, user / moderation lists, starter packs, etc. DMs aren't and won't be public, obviously, so the "20 billion public records" doesn't include DMs. Although yes, in the current version they are accessible to Bluesky PBC since they're not encrypted.

Do people ever use those "Share on [social network]" links under blog posts/articles? Do you use them, do you see people using them? Do you think they make sense in 2026?

@mastodonmigration @ikuturso As for the funding, my suspicion (based on no info or rumors, I haven't heard anything about that) is that they may have had some additional sources of funding than what was announced, but no idea from whom and how much (like I said, I do wish there was more transparency)

@mastodonmigration @ikuturso fwiw, the team devs have been consistently indicating that they feel safe about the amount of money in bank and that it's not gonna run out anytime soon. And Paul said yesterday it was Jay who initiated the CEO change process. I understand she was just really tired of the role which became a very very different job than it was in 2021-22, for someone who was previously just a normal developer like us.

@mastodonmigration Yeah that's my understanding too… they got very good drones (the ones they sell to Russia), they got a lot of them, and apparently they might have them scattered and hidden across a large mountainous area where it would take years to find all of them…

@cwebber @ryanrandall Nah, definitely a different Why - you can find the Ruby Why's real name and the Bluesky Why's name also appears from time to time and it's not the same name

@pjohanneson @cwebber yeah

@seachanger @laurenshof good (?) to see that he's being an asshole the same way to AP people and not only AT people…

@laurenshof Lolololol Evan gonna Evan

@laurenshof @lrhodes @mastodonmigration @mcc @esoteric_programmer @alter_kaker AFAIK they only run a non-archival relay rn, I don't think anyone runs an archival one at the moment

@mastodonmigration @mcc @lrhodes @esoteric_programmer @alter_kaker BGS, Big Graph Server, that was the old name, got renamed to relay at some point.

And last November they made a switch to "non archival relays" which now only pass through, but don't store complete repos for everyone.
