        Aww hell yeah. If I won the lottery, I’d be very tempted to add a small, hidden underground bunker to the house I’d buy. Not for prepper reasons or anything like that, just because it’d be so cool to have.

          In my youth I worked on renovating residences. There were some houses in old town (west coast usa) built in the 1890s I worked on. While trenching for a sprinkler system in the back yard we located a buried roof structure.

          Turns out the house used to be an illegal speakeasy during prohibition. A whole room had been excavated and built underground and accessed through a passageway hidden by a workbench in the garage.

          So there’s precedent at least.

          woah… everyone like saw this on reddit.

          One of the commenters from the original post shared it on Reddit.

          how does bluesky work anyway?

          It is basically Twitter 2.0

          why do they have instance names like on fedi?

          I believe Bluesky is Fediverse compatible can interact with the Fediverse through an ActivityPub bridge. I am not familiar enough to know exactly how it works. That said, if you own a URL, you can set it as your username. For example, John Scalzi (the author) linked his account to his URL so now his username is @scalzi.com.

          they are not decentralized, are they?

          Not at the moment but the protocol allows for it IIRC.

          EDIT: Corrected my incorrect amd misleading comment.

            They aren’t directly compatible because they use a different protocol (AT protocol instead of Activitypub) but there is a Bluesky/Mastodon bridge

            Bluesky deliberately chose not to use activity pub and made their own instead of extending it. I don’t think they have made strides of federating with the fediverse.

              They seem to be determined to create their own federation protocol, which they claim that they’re going to hand over to a non-profit to become a standard. Or something like that. I’m not clear on the details, and I don’t know enough about internet traffic handling to understand it. I just know they use their own node infrastructure to handle traffic between different hosts for user accounts.

                There was a standard (activity pub), and they actively chose to go against it.

            Oh! I thought bluesky was literally Twitter and just as cooperate. Sooo can I use ma Lemmy account to contact people on bluesky? Or can I follow them somehow?.. I really don’t understand the whole activity pub stuff and compatibility yet…

            Also, the reason I mentioned the redddit thing was cuz I’m like “damn, peeps now almost only see good posts as secondary reposts on reddit, big sad”

              As others have corrected, Bluesky isn’t Activity Pub based. Instead they have made a bridge for compatibility.

                  I genuinely do not know, hopefully someone else here can tell us, but I have seen Bluesky on Mastadon.

          Bluesky uses the AT protocol, something they decided to make instead of using ActivityPub. Right now, there’s really only the main Bluesky instance, but in theory, there can be multiple.

    According to Nordic Mythology, the whole Earth will go up in flames at the end of time and all human will be killed except those hiding under the roots of the world-tree, Yggdrasil.

    It sure looks cozy. But we are adults and this is the reality we live our actual life’s in. We need to take part in it.
    Maybe screens really are the opiate of the masses, watching stuff happening, like some sort of half-life.

      where is their poo going?

      i’m all for underground hidey-holes but they should be way larger and have lovely people who make sure it’s not overflowing with poo

        Those people should also sing songs about the fact that they’re making sure that you are not overflowing with poo. See, they write themselves.
