Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days. - eviltoast
The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform. Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.

    it wouldn’t make sense for the server to hold your private key, since that would mean the owner of your instance could make posts as you.

    I mean, this is quite normal and common for all traditional social media (or any site really) you sign up for. It’s what most ActivityPub instances do too, though there’s nothing in ActivityPub that requires the server to hold the private key. It could in principle be held by the client but I don’t believe there is any implementation that does that currently.

      Yeah, this is just me tacking on extra features I’d like. My security-minded programmer brain can’t help but think of all the edge-cases. It’s something that is suddenly possible with distributed social media that never was before.
