Oddbean new post about | logout
 Is there any hint whatsoever here that this is an open protocol instead of just a new platform feature shipping in the next version of your beloved proprietary app? https://bsky.social/about/blog/05-22-2024-direct-messages 
 No. 😀 
 i was just thinking this other day. bluesky fasho feel like another shiny corporate platform. 
 “We intend to iterate and fully support E2EE DMs as part of atproto itself, without a centralized service, and will take the time to get the user experience, security, and privacy polished” 
 Zero 
 the normies love their slavery, stop being amazed 
 Nope. It's a dumpster fire  
 Definitely not! 
 "In rare cases, the Bluesky moderation team may need to open your DMs"

This is not a DM feature announcement, it's Group Chat! Chat members: the user, another user and all bluesky moderators! 
 Damn, they've made an awesome UX decentralized open group chat protocol before we did!
