could someone please explain bluesky to me (the protocol used by the mastodon network)???
@cwebber I think it works by bouncing signals from your computer off of the atmosphere (hence the name "blue sky" it can only work well in clear weather). If it's cloudy it instead saves your messages in the clouds until the weather becomes clear, that's why we call it cloud storage.
Well, first of all, you need a pigeon who is from some place near the recipient's house. You take your tweet and attach it to the bird's leg and let it go, and it flies across the blue sky towards home, where it knows it can find food. There it joins its home feed and the message is received.
Be sure to trade a few pigeons with your friends whenever you go calling, so you can keep using the blue sky protocol.
@cwebber it’s kind of like email, but for social media
@cwebber It's like, when you go outside and the sun beams messages straight into your brain. Except there is only one sun and it is owned by corporations, just like in the real world.
