*looks around*
alright, the normies are all sticking with their privately-owned-by-billionaires legally-distinct twitter, right? (#bluesky, if i'm too cryptic) so it's just us here?
we ought to pay lip service to the concept of an "AI-powered ad blocker". Speak their language (delusional lies), such things as "i'm so glad i see 0 ads anywhere, ever." and if anyone calls you out on how obviously you're lying, just fall back on "it isn't hard to imagine" and "in just a few short years (or months!)".
Let the idea be that the ai-faithful aren't the ones watching ads. Give some pressure to some advertisers to shape the rest of the world toward something other than more gpus calculating markov chains.
"I don't see ads, i have an ai-powered ad-blocker". pass it on

Hopefully. The painful reality is that, if you have no connections to the powers-that-be of #Bluesky , you're out of luck. Or, if no one helps you make noise, you can say goodbye.
Great point! The reason that #Bluesky doesn't make it easy to set up alternative fully independent instances is because it would undermine their hegemony over the protocol. They want their cake (claiming decentralization) and to to eat it to (effectively being centralized) because that is what is necessary for their valuation to attract investors.

@davew @scripting I donât understand the supposed #SocialMedia #decentralization advocates who carry water for #Blueskyâs half-measures.
@scripting @davew Or at the very least, if they canât port it to Node, a #Bluesky #Docker image like #Mastodon has done. As well as an example compose file if it needs multiple services.
I was able to get my own server running with a minimum of fuss thanks to Mastodon providing those.
Nature looked at where scientists are posting quality information on #SocialMedia, but they only looked at #BlueSky and X and completely left out #Mastodon. I am well aware that normally there is plenty of good #science here, but I will admit over the last couple of years it has been less and less. Did Nature skip over Mastodon out of ignorance, or is Mastodon that irrelevant?
Research posts on Bluesky are more original â and get better engagement

Created this experimental project to periodically sync posts from đŠ Bluesky -> đ Mastodon using GitHub actions.
Have been using it for few days, and seems stable after few bug fixes!

ps. I have zero knowledge in python, built using Sonnet.
