ikuturso<a href="https://mastodon.world/@bitflipped" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bitflipped</a> I've seen so many waves go to different places that I'm not sure it's anything other than hype for the current trending thing. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> has also now been seeing declining active user numbers for a while and I've seen a number of people say they are not going there anymore. Will be interesting to see where the next wave goes if/when it happens.

CameronI keep seeing people asking and speculating about why <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a> is attracting more users than <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>. Based on remarks I've seen over the past year or two, I'm fairly certain that it's because, unlike Mastodon / Fedi, BlueSky doesn't expect users to care about how it works.

ikuturso<a href="https://mstdn.social/@rysiek" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rysiek</a> surely this could *never* happen with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a>

ADisorderlyFashionI am once again asking for your recommendations for a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/instance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#instance</a> to jump ship towards. Taking a break from <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluesky</a> has highlighted the issues I had when this was my only form of social media.Now that my local feed has more bots than my federated feed, I think it's time. Also, someone else's instance has apparently flagged mine, so it caused a warning every time they interacted with me.I know about <a href="https://instances.social/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://instances.social/</a> . It lacks criteria I need. I can't search for >500 chars

In the current political situation that should be a convincing argument for the <a href="https://snooker.uk.to/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>.

Mastodon Migration<a href="https://mastodon.social/@TotalSonic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TotalSonic</a> <a href="https://social.coop/@cwebber" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cwebber</a> The fact is that <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> is not currently billionaire-proof at all and, according to Lemmer-Webber, the prospect is indeed very suspect (probably infeasible).Good advice from Nicco Venerandi <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@niccolove" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@niccolove</a>: Why I recommend against Bluesky - Have you ever heard of the term federation-washing?

Mastodon MigrationFor those who have not seen it yet, ActivityPub co-author Christine Lemmer-Webber <a href="https://social.coop/@cwebber" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cwebber</a> has written a new thread that addresses the more recent claims that the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> AT Protocol is getting more "decentralized".Her bottom line: "ATProto still cannot scale down and scale wide, not towards meaningful decentralization."Here is a link to the very thoughtful and informative thread which also includes links to her other threads and essays on the topic of AT Protocol.<a href="https://social.coop/@cwebber/114194820571954617" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://social.coop/@cwebber/114194820571954617</a>

Mastodon Migration<a href="https://social.coop/@ntnsndr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ntnsndr</a> Truly distributed open public social media is critical infrastructure. Unfortunately <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> fails this test and will be scooped up when the boom comes down. Anyone who thinks they have found a safe haven there will be rudely disabused of this misconception.

Luca Sironi<a href="https://app.wafrn.net/fediverse/blog/gabboman" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gabboman</a> I'm curious about the <a href="https://sironi.tk/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluesky</a> federation thing. Did <a href="https://sironi.tk/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluesky</a> users freak out at having a different system speaking with them, or they didn't even notice the difference, like normal mainstream users are supposed to do ?<a href="https://sironi.tk/tags/bridgyfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bridgyfed</a>

David FleetwoodIf you claim to be a leftist and you are trying to convince people to move to <a href="https://social.legionworlds.net/tags/BlueSky" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a> rather than the community driven <a href="https://social.legionworlds.net/tags/ActivityPub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> options (<a href="https://social.legionworlds.net/tags/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> / <a href="https://social.legionworlds.net/tags/PixelFed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PixelFed</a> / etc) I cannot take you seriously as a leftist. A major component of leftist thought is community organizing and defense. It is opposition to centralized power and control. Intentionally helping people move or set up on centralized systems, regardless of what their CEO's claim about them, is directly in opposition to leftist ideals. Yes some people are sometimes confused by the <a href="https://social.legionworlds.net/tags/Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> options. It's your job to help them find an appropriate community and work through the technical hurdles. The platforms they are moving away from, such as <a href="https://social.legionworlds.net/tags/Twitter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Twitter</a>, <a href="https://social.legionworlds.net/tags/Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> & <a href="https://social.legionworlds.net/tags/Instagram" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Instagram</a> were all confusing and overwhelming for people when they first joined. This is no different, it's always a learning curve. Actually help and protect your communities by helping them not only escape corporate controlled networks but also by helping them find and utilize networks that are community run, moderated and controlled.

FlakyWelp. The Mastodon account of someone in the AWS sphere suddenly stopped existing yesterday.All the more reason I prefer Bluesky's "centralised app, decentralised profile" approach in the long-run.<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/quinnypig.com/post/3lkqop2diws2v" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/quinnypig.com/post/3lkqop2diws2v</a><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a>

Faraiwe<a href="https://social.coop/@cwebber" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cwebber</a> beyond me why people are still at <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluesky</a>. It's the trap of tHIs tiME WilL be dIFFerEnT, I guess.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ATProto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATProto</a> is NOT an open API. Any parallel implementation still has to go through bluesky's servers.They are still owned by <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DTBO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DTBO</a> vulture capitalist cryptobro techbro billionaires, who have stated they will sell your data and info to LLM predatory enterprises.Baffling, really.Meanwhile, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AcitivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcitivityPub</a> remains simple, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a>, inexpensive, truly decentralized.Go figure.

Veera LaukkarinenMua ärsyttää, kun Blueskyssä ei voi lisätä emojia kirjoittamalla (selaimessa).Muualla pystyy. Eli kaksoispiste ja emojin nimi. Tämä, koska en erota ilmeitä pienistä emojista.
