> where is it then?

it might be on https://bsky.social, https://npmx.dev/pds or sitting next to your router in your living room in the form of a raspberry pi (https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting)


But that’s not where you want your chats now is it? E2EE? And how does it keep it all private since apparently the Bluesky bros haven't figured that part out?


https://colibri.social/faq#where-is-my-data-stored I've just added a new FAQ entry to explain this in a bit more detail.

It honestly depends. Right now, Colibri is meant to function for communities that are public anyway. If you're a streamer, an open source dev community, Colibri can help you with talking to people who don't want to be locked in by big corporations. As the E2EE and private data, the Bluesky people have posted a new proposal for that only a few days ago, which I'm already thinking about how to implement: https://dholms.leaflet.pub/3mhj6bcqats2o

But, yes, for now, chats are public. Private data will hopefully be a thing soon on the network.


This probably needs a bigger callout. A user who isn't familiar with ATProto doesn't even know to ask this question and the design space from its contemporaries (e.g., discord, slack, etc) suggests that chats are nominally private if folks aren't a member of the channel.

It's a very cool product but you have to let people know their messages aren't private.


Yep, good feedback. I'll look into it. Will add a new section on the landing page or something.

Edit: Section has been added!


i am currently working on a dropbox alternative: https://dropb.at


How do you plan on differentiating it from just a trivial setup of an FTP account that's mounted locally with curlftpfs and has files in a SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem?


good point, i havent considered this at all. its basically dead on arrival


Cool!



not lovefrom, the "io" company thats being acquired


It worked for me with a gsuite account from germany


Your first point is already on my todo list!

No it doesn't take them into account, at least not yet. Currently it shows you only the most popular movies, but thats something I'm gonna think about. Thanks for the suggestion!
