I'm actually glad we're getting an influx of #Bluesky users.
I like Masto/Fedi, but here and there it needs an infusion of new blood for sure.
Is anyone covering the #Bluesky situation?
Would love to talk about it o Tech Talk Thursdays, but it doesn't seem like any of the outlets I'm following are talking about it.
Edit:
Got what I needed!
Thanks @ikuturso
Greetings humans of Bsky, here's a list of 1739 fun things not to do because they affect me personally.
Can anyone tell me what's the bad development at Bluesky? Can't find a news story about it online.
i will call them cultists
because it is the same as dealing with #cryptoBros and their feverish devotion to promise over reality
in fact, since #bluesky is run by and funded by #crypto bros, that happenstance is not a mistake
it is the same sales speak con job in action, by the same people, for the same effect:
fuck reality, focus on the lie, and don't waver from your faith in the empty promise
a cult
Bob Ricci's @ricci https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/ analytics are a good yardstick by which to measure the current decentralization of #Bluesky
It should be pointed out that Bob created this analytic not to dump on Bluesky, but to provide a reality check and measure the success of the AT Protocol platform in its progress toward true decentralization.
#bluesky is not
see the post at top
i feel like i'm talking to a #bitcoin/ #crypto cultist
same desperate defense
rooted in not reality, but rooted in the fact they bought into a lie, a promise, and thus they *must* ignore the actual reality, because devotion to the promise is job #1, not reality
look at the post at top
look at it
and compare with your words
you. are. a. cultist.
Another wave of refugees from Yet Another corporate site? #Bluesky, I think?
GREAT! Welcome!
But here's the thing: THIS IS #MASTODON.
There are a number of rules you must follow and please memorize these as there will be an exam.
1) Be nice to people.
OK. I will post the quiz later. Study hard!
well let me put a fine point on it:
#mastodon is truly #decentralized, while #bluesky is not yet sells a lie it is, and fools believe
true #decentralization makes mastodon truly technologically superior to bluesky
not because i'm an egocentric cultist. but because that is the simple reality of the situation
"well i don't like your attitude"
my attitude has nothing to do with it
in fact, that's projection
the issue is reality
which you reject because *you* are the cultist

So in case anyone missed it, Jay (the CEO of Blue sky) is pulling an Elon in real time and has for 48 hours now randomly banned people critizing her anti-queer and pro alt-right moderation team, and doubling down when people post the receipts of her lying and making banning "reasons".
She is literally burning the ship she's steering to own the libs because she's as thin skinned as Elon.
Blsky went full X++ in 48 hours.
Content warning:super-technical discussion on Bluesky moderation
"The only way out of this box is if independent/OSS developers build on top of the underlying AT protocol to create a new AppView, Relay, etc., that can federate with the BlueSky PBC."
But would Bluesky corporate even allow "federation" with the mothership Bluesky DID:PLC through a non-corporate PDS?
That would seem to be the question of the hour
