This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Why does everyone suddenly forget BSky was created by Jack Dorsey?
It's going to be another Twitter. Bring everyone in, AI scrape all the data, then sell when the climate moves too far in one direction.
Or is this like the Great Reddit Exodus, that lasted maybe a month?
Wish they would go to Mastodon, even Threads which is on the fediverse.
I just moved our D&D account over there.
So ppl switching from one VC-funded centralised corpo platform to another VC-funded (slitghly less) centralised corpo platform is a good thing?
big X
just because it's OSS doesn't make it good. The corp still hold all the power and might sell out, but at least they got free volunteers to program for them so the C-level could get more money!
(now don't tell me that Bluesky is "federated". They still hold all the power over site rules and moderation. The only little concession you get is that you are allowed to host your own data)
is also decentralized and is federated, meaning it is moving toward a future where users “own” their audiences and can port them elsewhere (you can, and many do, argue about the details here, and about the differences between ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, and the AT Protocol, which Bluesky uses).
Best coverage yet for that alone
the great migration to another investor-backed patiently waiting disaster. enjoy it while it's good. if only they used activitypub. Mastodon is just too confusing for the average person, it will never take off. bluesky streamlines everything into being simple and understandable to the average user. I laugh when I see people circle jerking about being better than twitter when in reality it was started by the same people and all it takes is someone with too much money and it'll be another fall-off story.
edit: I say this as someone who uses it, beats using shitter in it's festering decaying state.
Bluesky is run by the founder of twitter, which took far too long to ban Trump the first time round. I don't know why so many people are giving him another chance to do the same shit again.
EDIT: I stand corrected. Dorsey left.
OP has posted (and re-posted) about Bluesky about 40 times in the last 48 hours. I’m down voting every single one. Quit shilling for billionaires.
Most smart people left Twitter years ago. Dont make the same mistakes again and again. We can build a better web on the fedi. Heavily EDITED lol.
If you were still on Twitter, please dont join Mastodon, we dont want you.
~~STFU or~~ say you are speaking for yourself. Fedi is for everyone that's the whole point of the exercise.
