They're right that the age verification shenanigans are bollocks though.

    Thanks! In the tutorial, they mention listening to the firehose. I'm not able to wrap my head around this (singular) firehose. But I remember seeing this initiative trying to crowdsource 30 million dollars to run one for 3 years Can you elaborate on that and help me understand better?

    Thanks for your effort! I genuinely appreciate it!

    Maybe I misunderstand, but what I gather from your writing, is that bluesky might become decentralized in the future, if a decent amount of separate groups manage to raise 30 million dollars each.

    Ok, let's say I create the 2nd firehose in existance, could you elaborate on how I would get everyone to read and write to it? Would I have to merge the bluesky firehose to mine, or have I effectively split the network until someone creates a third firehose that merges both? What if bluesky doesn't care about my firehose, how will their users ever see my posts?

    Please rest assured I ask out of genuine curiosity, I don't expect you to have all the answers. But I might as well try my luck as you seem knowledgeable.

    Thanks!
