Ser att Bluesky vunnit viss popularitet bland Mastodon-användare, det är förbryllande, Mastodon (ActivityPub) är den fria plattformen, de flesta andra är inlåsning.
No shocker - I hate the way it incorporates with the #fediverse as a whole and, at least currently, feels like it's working in (ish) bad faith.. that may change, but for now they are simply using us as potential eyeballs to boost their engagement numbers (esp for their "big accounts")
BUT...
From my experience, it beats the absolute pants off of #BlueSky in terms of actual "topic" interaction
The whole idea of BlueSky supporting nomadic identities but the rest of the ActivityPub (plus other stuff) Fediverse being unable to do so is such an oversold idea.
A new service using ActivityPub behind the scenes (and not the AT Protocol) can absolutely support nomadic identities, even if the service doesn't treat a whole website as the actor.
It will still use did:plc, same as AT Protocol (BlueSky), but once done so, an application that understands how to work with did:plc can dereference an actor based on the DID.
That said, an existing service will simply not be compatible with this idea, without changing how it operates.
@DerAsket The head of #Bluesky has already left.
🏃🏼♂️💨💨💨. Honestly it's a collection of hellos, confused photos and the same crap as T.witter. People only see and like the same things as on X. Otherwise you are and remain invisible. I think it's also better that nobody notices you.
I found it confusing. For one thing, it asks me for my Mastodon account. Though Akkoma uses Mastodon’s API, not all sites recognize this nor support it—I don’t know if BridgyFed would reject.
Secondly, it’s not clear how to opt in. I think I opted in but there was nothing to say “Congrats! People from #Bluesky can see you!”
Also, how do I receive #Bluesky posts? That’s not apparent to me.
Just had my first exchange across networks with @shreyanjain.net@bsky.brid.gy and it was quite seamless. I think I am officially on team bridge. #fediverse#bluesky#bridgyfed
#Bluesky tip: if you're running some kind of company/org account that's posting to Twitter/Mastodon etc. and you could consider posting to Bluesky too, but you need to integrate it into some existing system, there is a command line tool someone wrote here: https://github.com/mattn/bsky - it should be possible to integrate it with anything that lets you run a shell command. Handles images, link facets etc.
Replay Crew! We had a fun romp through tech headlines this week! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44j
Jack Dorsey is no longer on the board of BlueSky. We're wrapping up the closing arguments in Google's anti-trust case. The Rabbit R1 is an app. Sony's marketing materials for the next XPERIA leak.
And we should probably chat about this next iPad thing-y...
Jack Dorsey, il co-fondatore di Twitter, volta le spalle alla sua creazione Bluesky per riavvicinarsi alla galassia di X e al suo vecchio amico Elon Musk. È una mossa sorprendente, che scuote l'intero panorama dei social. Questa riconciliazione (con tanto di endorsement a X come "tecnologia di libertà") potrebbe ridisegnare le future dinamiche di potere nel mondo digitale. Che bolle in pentola?
So #Bluesky is looking for a new board member to replace Jack Dorsey who initiated the project, got it funded, then gradually got less interested and now dropped out without much explanation.
I'm afraid that is not a ringing endorsement of the project.
On related news: Jack #Dorsey is no longer with #BlueSky. Instead, he's lauding the "freedom" of #Twitter (and apparently no longer believed in "building a social network that puts people in control of their experience", from the subtext of the BlueSky announcement stating the requirements for Dorsey's replacement).
