    Note: before you waste time like me searching in vain for historical figures, it's limited to people who appear in photos together but for some reason neglects to mention that on the landing page.

    Lovely. A related approach is the six degrees of Wikipedia:

    But that often indexes on a URL two pages share.

    Definitely dreaming of systems like this for BlueSky.

    It's amazing that speech is finally really free, that there's no network gatekeepers blocking hobbyists and researchers from understanding & working with speech.

    Watching the web 2.0 world collapse as APIs shutters or got absurdly expensive, watching the remaining players withdraw availability ongoingly: man that was sad. That was such an anti- inter-networking tragedy that I was not prepared for.

    We can start to see the threads intertwine again. Thanks to protocols not platforms.

      I guess I see Blue sky/at protocol as just another platform.

      ActivityPub is truly federated with multiple platforms. Maybe I'm not giving BS a fair shake, but that's been my view.

        I don’t think I can argue the full thing myself, but FWIW, they don’t see AT as a less-free counterpart. The general idea is that they’re offering OSS data that any host can consume, rather than a network of decentralized hosts. Kinda cleverly elegant, IMO!
