it’s goofy but you could do softblocks via an “antifollow” record. is that a terrible idea (I get the sense that people use it as a “gentle” way to nudge an annoying person away but a record is quite visible for someone being neurotic about it)
I mean that’d be cool, might be possible,but the nice property about chess is that you can objectively validate the board state from the move list - there’s no secrets
been thinking about this. I think the best form factor for a PDS is bsky.social + a phone app that holds your PLC keys and also performs automatically repo backups. so you can just adversarially migrate with one button press while still using a big hosting provider for uptime, for free
I made a PoC for the key holding part: github.com/mozzius/deme... and @retr0.id is working on adversarial migration tooling for goat. it’s all coming together!
anyway, point is the great strength of this architecture is not in its “active” state, but in its “passive” state - you can just show up with your repo somewhere else, without asking permission. so just use bsky.social right up until the point you don’t want to
