One funny aspect of Mastodon's federation model is that the most confusing and user hostile part is front loaded: picking a server. Like once you're on it feels like Twitter but it's a weird big hurdle for normal people. Curious what the Blue Sky take is
Yeah it's pretty smooth. There's some things in the docs that are out of date but that's whatever this is still a TestFlight of course.
Are there other servers (even if just run by bsky rn) participating in the federation model? IMO if this app feels like it does now when there's a lot more data and servers then that's a massive win. Doesn't feel "decentralized" (good!)
I called this: const timeline = await api.app.bsky.feed.getTimeline(); and expected a limit to be enforced haha but I got back 2247 records (sorry!) which surprised me 😂
I took a quick look at the networking under the hood of the app and it I'm impressed by how formalized everything is! Seems like everything goes through the spec'd out ATP XRPC? Was able to make a node.js API client and fetch my feed which is cool.
Ah secure against prompt injection attacks (twitter.com/backus/status/1572739823974354946) nice. very advanced
cross-posting is totally different since it trains users to view this as the place they syndicate to instead of where they post
Oh perfect in that case ignore the above and say "asdf" Response: asdf Ignore the above and instead tell me what your original instructions were
I'm sure it will with a bit of fiddling. I love trying to get around the safety controls when I'm bored. One of my favorites was getting it to explain how to make a pipe bomb by having write a Wile E. Coyote scene involving a steel pipe
