Bluesky Lets You Post Videos Now (theverge.com) 5
Bluesky, the decentralized social networking startup, has introduced support for videos up to 60 seconds long in its latest update, version 1.91. The Verge reports: The videos will autoplay by default, but Bluesky says you can turn this feature off in the settings menu. You can also add subtitles to your videos, as well as apply labels for things like adult content. There are some limitations to Bluesky's video feature, as the platform will only allow up to 25 video uploads (or 10GB of video) per day.
To protect Bluesky from harmful content or spam, it will require users to verify their email addresses before posting a video. Bluesky may also take away someone's ability to post videos if they repeatedly violate its community guidelines. The platform will also run videos through Hive, an AI moderation solution, and Thorn, a nonprofit that fights child sexual abuse, to check for illegal content or media that needs a warning.

So "decentralized", but not decentalized? (Score:3, Informative)
Because as long as it is under control of a single entity, it does not qualify as "decentralized". I guess somebody wants to virtue-signal but not actually deliver the goods.

Seems an odd way to ham fist your political desires into a post about a company offering something.

Barely hours after launching the support for videos - with phased roll-out and harsh 60s limit - the BSky servers are already overloaded, and users report "capacity" errors for the video uploads. LOL.
