jonny (good kind)Bsky raises $15m from Blockchain Capital, the VC's press release hints at what they're interested in:<a href="https://www.blockchaincapital.com/blog/bluesky-13m-users-and-growing-our-investment-in-blueskys-re-imagined-social-network" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.blockchaincapital.com/blog/bluesky-13m-users-and-growing-our-investment-in-blueskys-re-imagined-social-network</a><blockquote>Bluesky [is] designed to foster a new ecosystem of applications. [...] It is interoperable with existing internet protocols and blockchain-based systems, opening the door for a more connected, less siloed social experience. Since its launch in April 2023, over 100 clients have been built on the AT Protocol, and users have created more than 50,000 custom feeds. And the best part of it all? By building on top of the AT protocol, these developers have access to Bluesky’s 13M users worldwide.</blockquote>The VC firm sees bsky and their ownership of the relay as being a potentially very lucrative chokepoint, where the users of bluesky are the asset to rent to platform developers who want "access" to them. I've written before how atproto's decentralization is effectively meaningless with the relay system, where it's decentralized in the same sense as google alerts is decentralized - sure you can host your own PDS, but it's only useful because the main relay crawls it, and then either bsky or someone else who (inevitably) pays for access can send it back to you.edit: here's why i think the relay is a chokepoint and why there will never be a second: <a href="https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/113365406995624763" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/113365406995624763</a><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/bsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bsky</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluesky</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/atproto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atproto</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ChokepointCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChokepointCapitalism</a>

Steven SandovalI wish <a href="https://mastodon.social/@creativecommons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@creativecommons</a> had a license like “CC PDD (Public-Domain-on-Death)” which would activate upon the creator’s death, allowing them and publishers to freely monetize their work while they’re alive, but which would release the work into the <a href="https://twit.social/tags/publicdomain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#publicdomain</a> immediately after.It might incentivize publishers to get their creators health insurance. 😀(a thought I had while rereading Rebecca Giblin and <a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a> ʼs <a href="https://twit.social/tags/ChokepointCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChokepointCapitalism</a> )

We’ve met them many times – he’s just such an amazingly nice, humble, gentle mannered and great guy, as are the band.Today, I’ve had an email announcing his latest album, the eighth, titled Henry Found the Time. In classic Alex manner, he writes an incredibly honest and humble assessment of the world of streaming services and how they particularly affect solo self-publishing artists2 – naturally, for me, this was an instant purchase as music to keep3, via <a href="https://alexcornish.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>. What do I think of it? I haven’t listened to a single note of it so far, but I wanted to post about it anyway – it’s going to be great, and I can’t wait to hear the tracks live when Alex and the gang are on the road again! Going straight into my home music server and collection, and I’ll have it on repeat this week! Oh, and also:<blockquote>Support independent musicians.
