Bluesky enthusiasts are stating that Bluesky has ”plans” to make ATProto universal and transfer it to W3C or the like. Well, there is no evidence that Bluesky wants to give up control or the protocol is going to be widely adopted after 5 years of development so forgive me being sceptical. The story is a bit different with ActivityPub.
The #Bridgy#BlueskyBridge is great from the Fediverse side, but the #Bluesky side is still missing a lot. Posts longer than the limit just get truncated; wouldn't a Read More link be better? And self-replies don't seem to get bridged at all, so threads don't work.
I don’t really understand what it means that #bluesky is somehow now connected to the #Fediverse? If I have an account there on bluesky, will I now have two accounts in the Fediverse?
So, Jack Dorsey gave an interview about why he gave up on #Bluesky, and apparently it's mostly that they… started doing moderation? 🤨
Yes, they sometimes take down accounts that are breaking ToS, e.g. harassing others. No, I don't think it's a bad thing.
Now that more parts of the federation and user-controlled moderation tools are ready, you can post from your own PDS and you won't be censored unless you, like, post CSAM or sth… (and we do want to censor that, right?)
»#Bluesky was launched to become the open source protocol layer for social media platforms, but the team ended up “literally repeating all the mistakes we made” at #Twitter.«
»There’s “absolutely no way” social media companies remain censorship resistant without moving to open protocols. “We need to change the foundation everything is built on.”«
Kann mir jemand sagen wie ich nach bestimmten Netzwerken suchen kann in der Friendica Suchfunktion? Gab es da nicht was, so in der Art.: suchbegriff network: diaspora ?
In der Hilfe hab ich auch nix gefunden, zu den Suchoptionen.
Ich würde gerne mal gucken ob ich was von #bluesky finde und wie das aussieht.
Jack Dorsey is furious that #Bluesky has attracted "very very common" people. He also doesn't like the idea of moderation tools facilitating the banning of racists.
All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine. #JackDorsey
Jack Dorsey interview post-#Bluesky. Whatever you think of him, his views on why he helped getting Bluesky started in the first place are interesting. I wonder which of those might apply to the Fediverse (which he doesn't mention at all).
Former CEO of Twitter wanted to build a social protocol no-one can control, like SMTP or HTTP for social media. Bluesky’s ATProto was supposed to be an open source protocol that Twitter could eventually utilize, but then Musk happened and Bluesky started taking it to the wrong direction and everything fell apart in Dorsey’s mind.
A very revealing interview. I now see even more future in W3C’s ActivityPub.
A lot more happening #Eurovision-wise on #Bluesky than here, upon a quick look. And I can't really gather the activity at #Threads since there's NO way I can display most recent activity, even if not sorted by time 🤦♂️ so idk where to keep posting on Saturday 😕
I think the next sea change of behavior will be when @Mastodon, #bluesky and @threads are bridged, and a Groups protocol matures. They will provide a kind of selectivity of topic, qualifications, and behavior. People are welcome to lurk, but what and how they engage will drive popularity.
Kann ich die vielen bsky-Posts aus meiner Timeline herausfiltern+eliminieren und sie stattdessen irgendwo in die Seitenleiste packen?
Ein eigener Channel geht, löst aber die Aufgabe nicht.
