author here, should you have questions!

What's in that 4.5 TB? e.g. message metadata? Message text? Media?

What time window does it cover? A rolling N day window? Everything since year dot?

Can it be pruned? e.g. only data of accounts followed or messages interacted with

Thanks for making yourself available to answer questions! Hopefully this is not a dumb question.

Is plc.directory a single point of failure for BlueSky users who want to take advantage of the benefits of a did:plc? And if so, is that a permanent thing or down the road will there be multiple interoperating did:plc directories?

yes it's a SPOF. not sure about the second question, but i do know there are plans to transfer its ownership to an independent foundation

How are Direct Messages implemented in Bluesky if anyone can access a firehose of all network activity?

DMs are currently 1:1 only and closed source. They are working on/planning to build proper E2EE DMs that support group chats.

What's the difference between social-app and the AppView?

[pfraze]

social-app is the client side, AppView is the backend api surface
