Get off the fucken platform. Leave. Tell your followers where you are going and go. Every minute, every post, is a helping hand in oppressing LGBTQ communities and supporting a billionaire fed by apartheid and fascism. It fucken matters, people. Stop acting like it doesn't.
Preaching to the choir
I apologize, it possessed me and I had to say it. Its insane people are still there.
Here's a great follow-up experiment: leave "X" and never turn back.
Bluesky is pretty good, and you’re already on Lemmy so why not leave that cesspool?
Meh, to me BlueSky is really just the dude who made Twitter deciding he wanted to try making Mastodon too.
Don't get me wrong, it's certainly better than "X" at this point, but I prefer Mastodon and the Fediverse in every way. (Features, community, population, etc). If BlueSky was compatible with ActivityPub then it'd be easy to recommend, but it seems unlikely for now at least.
ActivityPub is fine, I don't get why we needed a new standard for BlueSky.
According to some of their sources, one of the major reasons they chose to go with a new protocol is because they wanted to take decentralization a step further by separating user identity from user instance (known in the AT protocol as a Personal Data Server, or PDS)
In other words, they're trying to make it so that even if the instance you were on were to disappear, or you were to get banned from it (as what can happen on the Fediverse), you wouldn't lose your identity. You could just use a recovery key to reauthenticate your identity and your followers would be able to find you again. Contrast with the Fediverse where if the instance you are using disappears suddenly, or you are banned for whatever reason (not even necessarily because of bad behavior, but also something possibly like petty disagreements), your whole account is gone and people will not be able to find you unless you create a whole another account. Even in situations that doesn't involve accounts being deleted, this would also be for if you wanted to move to another instance that might be blocked by the one you're using
At the moment, the way users are identified in the AT protocol is primarily through a placeholder version of a w3c standard that consists of a bunch of random characters, All of which is contained within a DNS TXT record. Essentially identifying every user either through that sequence of characters alone, or through a friendly domain name separate from your instance like @soulfire.jarexibackblaze.xyz (My personal account handle).
TL;DR Bluesky uses a new standard because they wanted to fix the problem of users losing their identity because their instance went down
Well, bluesky went and used a separate protocol from AP which makes it mastodon and akkoma incompatible which is a bummer, also not sure if bluesky supports CW, which can come in handy a lot of times
That's what I mean, why did they need to create the AT Protocol when ActivityPub had been around for almost 4 years by the time Bluesky was founded?
thank god elon is protecting the abused c*s minority from the persecution they face on a daily basis, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do transphobia as much
And despite all this, people continue to use it. I don't understand why.
Edit: This actually reminded me that even though I haven't used Twitter since the purchase, I still had an open account. I fixed that now.
People are morons.
im not a cisphobe i just think they should stay out of sports and not push their propaganda on my children i dont want my children growing up c*sgender
This but unironically
I think shitter counts "cis" as a slur.
Also fun fact or something, shitter is a name of a mastodon client.
