The fediverse will still be here when bluesky is killed by VCs
Y’all are forgetting how hostile Mastodon users can be. Personally I feel a little bit scared of posting anything there.
“What are we doing today, Jay?”
“The same thing we’re doing every day, Kate. Trying to take over the social internet!”
“Egad, Jay, brilliant! Oh, wait, no, it’s just going to become enshittified like every other centralized platform.”
I stopped reading when the “journalist” asked this question:
How did you end up starting a decentralized social platform?
How little research must one do to credulously repeat that PR talking point for a platform that is in fact completely centralized?
Yall are so annoying. Bluesky is 2 years old. Mastodon is like 8 years old. Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.
Yall have such a hate boner you dont even do research. No wonder normies will never use mastodon or lemmy yall are insufferable and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features
Edit: to anyone curious about keeping up with bluesky’s progress in decentralization and all the other stuff theyre working on here’s a good blog https://fediversereport.com/
Oh, when did twitter add CWs that required a clickthrough? The ability to set your own character limit? When did it remove its algorithms to show you posts it considered relevant? When did it become open source? When did it become decentralised and federated? When did it start working on end-to-end encryption for DMs? When did it allow for built in themes?
Lmao cant tell if youre trolling because all of that is already possible or being worked on (assuming you meant bluesky idk why you wrote twitter)
and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features.
That’s what you said, so I was just going off of that.
We don’t have a hate boner. We see “decentralized” being thrown around like a buzzword and we know that it really doesn’t apply to their platform.
It’s like the Libertarian Party taking the word “libertarian” and flipping the meaning to describe their ideology.
It’s a distortion of the spirit of the word and actual libertarians obviously want to clear up the misunderstandings that result from being introduced to the concept of libertarianism through such a group.
Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.
Oh yeah? I can join that second server right now and communicate with folks on the main server?
Oh no, the twitter people going back to twitter after sold them out. This will end in tears.
What I don’t get is why anyone would ever choose commercial social media again given there are Activity Pub clones for practically everything now, where you aren’t the product. So many people learned nothing from the ongoing Twitter debacle and the zillion Facebook privacy scandals apparently.
Try using Mastodon and Bluesky at the same time. Bluesky is a twitter clone and perfect replacement. Mastodon is an excellent micro-blogging platform, but has none of the features people actually liked about twitter. People love recommendation algorithms and quote tweet dunking. That’s the core of what it’s all about. Mastodon is glorified RSS, which is great if you miss those days.
Honestly I have used Blue Sky and Mastodon and Mastodon feels a lot more elegant to me, personally.
Perhaps open federated systems should have recommendation algos too, just optional and open
It would be cool to download different algorithms people created to see how it feeds
Doesn’t PeerTube already do this? Maybe I am mistaken.
In any case there’s nothing inherently preventing this, just because a platform gets some of its data from other servers instead of its own users, it doesn’t mean it can’t use that data to run a recommendation algorithm.
I don’t want it though. I prefer choosing for myself what sources I want to get information from instead of getting any of it recommended by the platform operator.
fuck people liking shit … and fuck people going back to american corporate tech… yes, I’m mad like that.
They just follow the herd. I wonder who directs the herd…
Is Activity Pub integrated into Lemmy yet?
I thought it was built on activity pub.
I’m gonna go over to my Mastodon account and try to reply to you. One sec.
All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online.
… but probably not.
Decentralized app plotting a total takeover of the social internet? Are these tryouts for the mental gymnastics invitational?
You have mastodon, which actually made a federated social media platform, but which has failed to become mainstream, and Blue sky which became mainstream, but has failed to actually become federated.
Mastodon didn’t eat the world, but it’s pretty successful. I have a great time over there.
Overall, I like the options today a lot better than what we had 10 or even 5 years ago.
I am glad that both Mastodon and Blue Sky exist. I would like both to be successful.
I would like both to be successful.
Same
this is potentially the last social identity you have to create.
…as long as you stay centralized on the central BlueSky instance. Once you move out to a (potential, future) federated server, that identity (and it’s super duper verification) doesn’t follow you.
Are they building an army with troops, tanks, aircraft and naval ships? Are they going to physically and violently take over the social internet?
Now if only I could get a meaningful reply to a bug preventing complete account deletion, either on github or from support. It seems they modeled their support structure on Google’s.
