@Jonathan Lamothe There's already a connector addon for #Bluesky contributed by @Michael Vogel that will be released this September.

Made a meme. #facebook #threads #meta #twitter #bluesky #bigTech #RichWhiteCisMaleTechBros

This cartoon has prophetic characteristics:

The "left" / "liberal " users of #Twitter will fatten #Mastodon user numbers, whereas the the burning bird on the right might yet rise again like the #Phoenix out of the #Birdsite ashes as #Twitter2.0 (aka #Bluesky.)

Thus it is envisaged by #Elmo and his #PayPal, not-my-friend, @ Jack after #Twitters final demise.

Purefied by fire, only right-wing users and easily gullible #ElmoFanboys will remain on #Bluesky.

Content warning: meta, Bluesky Click to open/close

O #Bluesky trancou a porteira e não vai mais deixar ninguém se cadastrar enquanto resolvem os problemas de desempenho devido ao êxodo de refugiados do #Twitter.

Agora mesmo tendo #convite não vai ser possível criar uma nova conta.

From a preliminary ~12h sample of #bluesky / #atprotocol , a small number of accounts receive most interactions. This is an obvious byproduct of the way the default algorithmic feed prioritizes posts.

- 5% of accounts received 72% of likes, 1% of accounts received 41%
- The top 5% of accounts make 48% of posts
- 37% of accounts receive no interaction
- The median account received 1 like.

Just a quick, incomplete look, but ya looks like an engagement farm

#Bluesky / #ATProtocol is an extremely funny protocol that is explicitly designed to ensure that there are still powerful entities that own your attention. Sure! you can host your own personal data store, but everyone else will be getting your posts through a Big Graph Service that necessarily crawl all posts on the network, so it's actually mostly irrelevant.

lmao taking a look at #ATProtocol / #Bluesky's implementation of #DID, and I think they missed the "decentralized" part in their "placeholder" DID method.

Your domain's DNS entries just contain a (truncated) hash that then has to be resolved at plc.directory

recall that the DID method (plc) is part of the DID, so a different method (eg. web) is a different DID. to switch, you'd need to set an alsoKnownAs entry. plc only supports AT handles for alsoKnownAs.

checked #bluesky and the mood is almost the same as here, half of the people have no other topic than their sexuality and comments about different others.... 🤷

Pardon the expression, but #Bluesky was all atwitter over @mmasnick’s
ingenious new game designed to give people a lived experience at moderating content and behavior. He could win the peace prize for this!

I appreciate that this is going to upset some people, and I thought I was too shy to say it, but I prefer #BlueSky over #Mastodon:

Here's why:

I've been thinking about this #bluesky post, and this seems backwards to me. In my view, protocols should be extracted from functioning apps, not created in a vacuum. The core feedback loop for development should involve actual users and actual use. Without that, it's just building sky castles in hopes that all your guesses turn out right.

PS this is what I mean about the MSM and tech press jumping on the Bluesky hype bubble. It's complete with really shitty clickbait headlines like "Bluesky's best shot at success is to embrace shitposting" or "'BlueSky' wants to market itself as a 'Musk-free' space, says CEO". I can almost see the alien bat baby on the cover of Weekly World News supermarket tabloids when reading these search results LOL. Honestly this feels like an episode of the HBO show Silicon Valley almost at this point. #bluesky #msm #technews

lol, Twitter Jack doesn't want you screenshotting his new targeted advertising fest, #Bluesky 🤡

Was just asked by a friend if I wanted a #BlueSky invite.

My reply?

“Thanks but no thanks.”

Why?

Because I don’t need to see the app. I know the people behind it and what they stand for. The app can only ever be a manifestation of (or an initial misdirection from) that.

Expecting the wolf that took a bite out of you last time to this time act in your interests is how you end up as its dinner.

Beware of billionaires peddling “decentralisation”.

Anyone seeking a decentralised world would never allow themselves to do the things it takes to become (or remain) a billionaire. Billionaires and trillion-dollar corporations are the epitome of centralisation.

Decentralisation begins at decentring yourself.
