Hi, person behind the project here, thanks for the cross-post!

You're welcome! Cool project!

Ty!

This looks neat, but should I be concerned about the permissions this is requesting for my account? Bluesky: Manage your profile, posts, likes and follows
louisescher•1h ago
Hi! We're doing that to allow you to update your profile from within the app. Not doing anything else besides that. If you have concerns, take a look at the source code: https://github.com/colibri-social/colibri.social

Interesting project, but...

> BUILT ON OPEN STANDARDS. PRIVATE WHEN NEEDED.

> Running a private group chat? As soon as the AT protocol supports private data, we'll work on implementing it and giving you the option to create private communities.

Not exactly "private when needed" then, is it? It's disingenuous to even mention this in the marketing copy.

louisescher•52m ago
Valid point! I'll get that section removed for now and either reword it later, or re-add when the protocol supports it.

Please consider adding screenshots of the UI that provide an idea of what the experience will be like without having to log in using Bluesky or other credentials.

I assume it looks the same as literally every other chat app
louisescher•13m ago
Done! Thanks for the suggestion, that's a good idea.

“Your data isn’t trapped on our servers” - where is it then? Who can access it?

“Open social” is so much bs compressed in a couple of buzzwords.

> 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)

isodev•1m ago
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?
iamnothere•3m ago
Thanks for building this, UX is nice and should encourage people to switch from Discord. Bsky only is a bit disappointing as it is still heavily centralized. I would love to see a system like this that can also set up channels over Nostr and the Fediverse. Fragmentation is starting to become an issue with decentralized and federated social.
