Interesting post on the architectural differences between #bluesky and #mastodon. Not new, but still a worthwile read.

@kittylyst #Bluesky: No income stream + VC #crypto funding = ripe for #enshittification. The crypto bros will demand return on investment sooner rather than later.

Ik snap niet waarom iemand destijds liever switchte naar #Bluesky dan naar #Mastodon. Echt niet. De basale constructie klopt al niet.
I know this is all security theater for now (since proof is not required) but I have a question about age assurance:
What birth date should be entered when it's an account that represents a group or organization?
Is it the person who is creating the account? Or the youngest person in the group? What about when the group changes and a bunch of new folks are running the social media account?
Meanwhile I'm just making up birth dates because I have no idea.

@kittylyst it's as if - and stay with me, here - all of us NOT at the nazi bar had told them morons at #bluesky that it's just #xitter 2.0
Huh.
Who coulda foreseen this coming...
ALL OF US HERE, that is who.

@grzewap.bsky.social I wrote to @iandunt.bsky.social as well, but it is you who so enthusiastically endorsed his view. And no, I am not jumping to conclusion, I just gave you one example which came my way today. If you need more, read this story:

Let's face it: #BlueSky is another #Twitter which hasn't gone full fash. Yet. But the signs are there. And when it happens, I am going to see a lot of suprised Pikachu faces among people who should have known better.

OK, that's pretty snarky.
But, here is a question for #Bluesky users running their own PDSs.
Are you still required to provide your birthdate to Bluesky PBC?
Sir Alderich entered the main hall and hurried directly to our Lady Joan Mastodon.
There is trouble over on CrimsonSky, he uttered, catching his breath. Fair posts are being censored, the Great Algo has free reign, the Big Money Bro is setting up camp in their fields, they even ...
My dear Alderich, do sit down. I have just made some fine Fedi brew, here, may it refresh and replenish you like a poem or a bird somg on a winter morning.
But, my Lady, over on CrimsonSky ...
Let CrimsonSky be CrimsonSky, my friend. They will do what they must do. Here, drink. Then settle and start your evening toots.
She stood up. The sun is about to set, she spoke to the crowd, it is time to jest. Let evening jesting commence.
And her knights nodded and laughed, some of the younger ones high-fived each other, and they took out their antique phones and refurbished laptops, and there was jestposting and singing all through the night.

Bluesky users, if you do not want to provide your birthdate to US VC funded #Bluesky PBC, simply join one of the other completely independent decentralized AT protocol instances listed below:
đ [end of list] (/s)
Alternatively, you can just come on over to truly decentralized public social media where your personal data will not be exploited.
Just found the post below on #BlueSky. This makes all my alarms go off loudly!

"The Ellison familyâs desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidationâ
They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channelsâ

@Momobab ßbrigens ist auch #Bluesky wenig zugänglich. Die Anmeldeaufforderung kann man (zumindest im Web) zwar noch wegklicken, aber dann fehlt u.a. die Suchfunktion und alle Beiträge, Likes etc. werden einem auch nicht angezeigt! Nur geringfßgig besser, als die "Vorschaufunktion" bei Facebook.
