@mkljczk they've done a fair bit actually. you can host an account on one server, a relay picks up your and others' posts, another server will process all that, and then a client parses it all out and none of those have to be hosted by bluesky at all even if you're participating in the same network. I've seen it happen with projects like blacksky. it's just really impractical at the moment unfortunately
that and when I first tried it it was basically them and people like them and irony poisoned millennials and creating a huge schism in protocols left a really bad taste in my mouth. not to discredit people who actually work with it and aren't ridiculous though, they're cool and I like that
you might think that I don't like bluesky because "not decentralized enough venture capital raaaahhhh!!!" but I don't, I think those are pretty shaky reasons. it's actually because the people who run it are pseudo-cryptobros with the most insufferably antagonistic personalities ever
@softtummybitch@RunawayDanish seems like it's just the website itself that choked and died, it's still working fine through the phone app/alternate clients
@monorail hm it looks like some Complicated Math is involved here. I think there might have to be some hard variable on how many images you want in a row or column though
alright I've configured it to be a web server so that it's a bit easier to work on and test Ideas I Have. also I have it set up for wake on lan because energy savings wahoo
