@jesse ah yes, that classic type system:

A: DNS record
AA: battery
AAA: battery
AAAA: DNS record

AAAAAAAAA: when you make a simple joke but people can't resist "well, actually"-ing about A and AAAA batteries

@pluralistic After spending several months on Bluesky and working with the protocol (on building a PHP library for it), I realized it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Even if/when they do federate, the intent appears to be for large companies to run major portions of the protocol.

And Bluesky just converted to a C corp to take on venture capital.

I deactivated my account last week because I won’t get fooled again.

(I now have that song by The Who stuck in my head.)
