Consuming the Bluesky firehose for less than $2.50/mo
*without doing much with it (and maybe not for long at its current growth rate)
After noodling around a bit, i sketched out this questionable little app which listens for all delete events from the firehose, and then shows the just-deleted text one last time in an anonymized disappearing feed. (also please note that I made this millions of users ago when the network was a fraction of the current chaotic speed). Receive every new create-post event from the app.bsky.feed.post collection Filter out empty posts, apply redactions to mentions and links Cache the clean text content on the volume in pebbledb, keyed by did+rkey Every few seconds, do a range-delete on saved texts older than 48hr For every delete-post event, try to fetch the text from the cache, and if found, broadcast it to all current observers
