Bsky, mastodon, whatever. Microblogging is a trash format that we should move on from.
I actively wish JK harm.
I also wish ill to JK Rowling.
I just did so on Bluesky. With a "may she rot in hell" cherry on top.
They can suspend me forever for all I care.
Um what? The hate for JKR is quite active on bsky. OP smoking crack; we hate that bitch.
Jessie gender got their account suspended because they said they wish ill to JKR. Was like the most polite insults you could say lol
The mods walked that back right away.
Yeah I’ve never seen anyone on Bsky say anything remotely positive about her
Or even neutral lol
We told them not to use Bluesky and what will eventually happen but they didn't want to listen
They literally made tons of account on mastodon just to ignore them for this fucking bootleg of it, called bsky
I have a bluesky account on an alternate server, so they can't ban me for wishing ill on JK Rowling, even if they wanted to.
I hope JK Rowling gets everything she deserves out of life. I hope life treats her as she does others. I wish upon her the consequences of her actions and words.
lol. She’s rich and safe. Stop stressing yourself out about every little thing and go firebomb an health insurance office in her name.
Hilarious considering one of their flagship features is community tags for content moderation. You'd think the TERF enablers would suggest tagging it as "non-TERF" or whatever. But no. Fuck em. Bluesky sucks anyways. They have comically short DM lengths and don't allow images.
No matter what people say about Bluesky, I will always say we should be using mastodon, until Bluesky makes good on true federation, it's still a platform that can be controlled.
It did make good on true federation.
Isn't their federation really fucking weird though? Like you can't run a federated server unless you're capable of handling 100% of all the posts on the entire platform? That's a pretty huge barrier, and one could argue it's less "federation" and more "mirroring".
Personally, its as simple as the ATProtocol is hard connected to Bluesky full stop. If Bluesky goes under, then AT will definitely suffer or fail.
The fediverse (AKA ActivityPub) is not reliant on just one entity, its many many entities implementing the same protocol. So its MUCH more resilient than AT.
But the good news is that we don't need to choose, as long as AP and AT both exist and keep going its going to be fine. The only issue becomes if services start only using AT over AP. Then we get a Microsoft situation where embrace extend extinguish occurs and we all become reliant on one not so benevolent corporation.
Im still going to root for the more open source protocol for the above reasons.
Do you mean it's reliant in some sort of technical way, or just that it is currently so dominated by BS that it's hard to meaningfully separate the protocol from the platform in practice? Kinda like if ML was 90% of the Lemmy market share?
No. Their federation does differ from the fediverse's, essentially, people have PDSes (personal data servers) which are just dumb datastores. These store data like your posts, likes, follows and blocks publicly.
AppViews are the other part, these take the data from PDSes and index it, and sort out interactions/notifications.
AppViewLite, for example, can be self hosted on any computer, and can be set to only take posts from select users, and discard posts after a while.
Is this federation, though? I've always thought of federation as a technical description of a platform's network topology, that it is several nodes communicating with one another to provide an overall platform.
Like, an AppViewLite is basically analogous to a Nostr replay and no one describes Nostr as federated.
A more interesting conversation is whether grafting federation onto Bluesky is worth the effort. If indexing the network can be done for a reasonable price, which it seems to be, then I don't see why people would put in the effort. If an app view/relay goes bad then you can just switch and get mostly the same experience.
I still believe that the ActivityPub solution of the multi stakeholder platform is a better direction, but I don't think the Bluesky idea of super easy migration should be dismissed out of hand like it so often is on this side of the conversation.
Yeah, it's still federation. It's just pull-based rather than push based.
Bluesky was made to be a decentralised twitter from the beginning.
Meh, I still don't see it as federation, but that might just be me projecting my own definition. Like, if we accept that bsky is federated then that would mean Bing is federated, just for arbitrary HTML rather than predetermined JSON.
JK can Rot in Piss for all I care.
The bird site was broken before the psycho took over. Just brought the same shit to the new site.
