@zachleat The parallels go even deeper because the solutions in home automation also look like the same we use for websites.

Power goes out automated devices still have physical switches as falllbacks.

Smart lock fails physical key backup + only ran it locally so it was less prone to failure in the first place (planned fallbacks)

Company went out of business doesn't matter because I used an open source, local solution and never connected to their cloud anyway (reduced dependencies)

@mergesort @leitmedium @kissane

That's my exact question too. I still have to dive into Bluesky's full implementation, but it seems like they have an additional layer of an actual trust and safety team, where Mastodon does not.
