Bluesky speedrunning enshittification.

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 days ago

It's actually easy to dodge their enshittification with atproto.

If you get banned on mastodon, you can't move your followers to another server, but on bluesky you can get your rotation key and move them permissionlessly.

Alternate appviews can dodge shit decisions (like the OSA id thing), without you needing to make a new account or move servers.

[-] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 13 points 3 days ago

Are there any other instances of BS though? My understanding was that it's too costly to host so there's only the official one

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago

It's gotten cheaper.

deer.social is an alt-client. app.wafrn.net is an alt-pds and appview.

Oh sweet that's great to hear!

If you get banned on mastodon, you can’t move your followers to another server

This actually depends. Mastodon has several ways of 'banning' a users, and apparently 'frozen' users can migrate their followers.

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Sure, but admins still have the power to make it impossible for you to migrate, whereas bluesky does not.

[-] flamingos@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

I mean those followers wouldn't mean much if Bluesky stopped indexing your profile though, unless they also jumped to an alternative relay.

I don't want to labour this point too much, I generally agree with you that Bluesky handles this better and it's the direction fedi should be heading.

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

That's a fault of everyone using bluesky's infrastucture, the same could happen on the fediverse.
That's the biggest problem rn imo.

[-] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

I mean the name alone was a nail in the coffin. Bluesky for blue MAGA.

[-] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago

I don't know that the name had anything to do with it, but it definitely is a BlueMAGA watering hole with all the vibes of a portapotty after a 3-day festival in high summer.

[-] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

It was just a joke considering both have blue in their name.

Bluesky became the liberal part of twitter. I mean quite literally most users come from there. It was doomed from the start with that.
