juni literally wrote dev tools for your shitty ass website she wrote the bluesky event handlers and THIS is how you repay her ????

«The fact that Twitter is such a dumpster fire is why I'm not going to join Bluesky until they install those fire exits. I've learned my lesson: you should never, ever, ever join another service unless they've got working fire exits». — Cory Doctorow pluralistic.net/2024/12/14/f...

INTERESTING. I just posted a Zillow link to a perfectly normal address, and it was immediately insta-blocked by the Bluesky moderation service. It’s almost like someone at Bluesky is automatically blocking any reference to THIS SPECIFIC ADDRESS. WEIRD! I mean, I was only linking to an offsite page.

A reminder - BlueSky makes your blocks public. Everyone can see who you have blocked. That, in itself, can be a vector for harassment. Your mutes remain private.

«Alexios @mantzarlis.com manually went through the top 500 Bluesky users by follower count and found that of the 305 accounts belonging to a named person, at least 74 had been impersonated by at least one other account». www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/11/1...

«I suspect that we will see a shift in expectations about what is possible for Bluesky to be decentralized. Some people will be upset, some people will simply say that having only a few large players be able to provide a Bluesky-like experience is good enough for them» — @dustyweb.bsky.social

«People are gaining the impression that Bluesky is a decentralized system. This could end up being a problem for the decentralized world; people might believe there's an "easy decentralized way to do things" that Bluesky has discovered which isn't actually that at all». — @dustyweb.bsky.social

«We had witnessed X’s unraveling, as it turned from a genuine community space into an often venomous one. Why should we imagine Bluesky would avoid that fate? Why keep trying to recreate the internet of the past? Why not accept where we are and move on?» www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/m...

«You should report the bots as “unwanted replies” and use the word “bot” when the offender is clearly a bot. Don’t interact with the bots or try to be clever. An account with an established pattern of getting replies from legitimate users will fool automated detection systems better».

«Venture capital funding serves as runway. It gives #Bluesky time they can devote to implementing user-friendly features that boost growth. So long as the developers make good use of it, they shouldn’t have to make unpopular changes until the flow of capital begins to slow years from now».

Comparing ATProto to Google indexing isn't accurate. If it were, simply adding the equivalent of "no-follow" would essentially be enough to make your account private or not susceptible to apps like clearsky, which IMHO are ethically dubious, at best

« #Bluesky may eventually experiment with ads in a way that doesn’t compromise the core user experience. That could include running ads in Bluesky’s search results, the CEO @jay.bsky.team later clarified offstage, as an example of a less intrusive advertising method». techcrunch.com/2024/12/05/b...

Bluesky orilla hoy 24,2 millones de usuarios. Su CEO, Jay Graber, dice que el crecimiento aluvional pospone el plan original de cobrar suscripciones y que reforzaron la moderación de contenidos. La sostenibilidad de la plataforma es, como en otras redes, una incógnita www.wired.com/story/big-in...

No se olviden que desde Bluesky pueden interactuar con cuentas de Mastodon siguiendo @ap.brid.gy

«The Protocols not Platforms paper that inspired Bluesky advocates a libertarian approach to free speech, and highlights that a benefit of this approach is that fascists like Alex Jones aren't banned and can still reach their audience». — @thenexusofprivacy.net privacy.thenexus.today/bluesky-atmo...

«If Big Tech social platforms are junk food and the Fediverse is a healthy home-cooked meal, then Bluesky is Impossible Burger: even though legumes are sourced for protein, health benefits are somewhat blunted by the high degree of processing involved». blog.elenarossini.com/if-big-tech-...

«But what if #Bluesky really does go evil? Or fold, or something else? The infrastructure is hosted in the United States. What if the US goes (more) evil, and requires access to Bluesky's servers?». — @taggart-tech.com taggart-tech.com/20241124-blu...

«Bluesky is extremely open. If you’re posting content there, do so with the knowledge that anyone can access it in bulk. This could potentially lead to very cool things, but it’s equally possible people might do things with it that you might not like» — @gavin.anderegg.ca anderegg.ca/2024/11/27/t...

A project where the creator shows off Bluesky posts that have been deleted in realtime.

«Bluesky is radically open and I worry that people might not clock what this means. I would never do anything on Bluesky that I wouldn’t also advertise on the open web — including liking posts. I also fully expect that all Bluesky content is getting scraped for things like training LLMs».

«Bluesky's vision for the new “social internet” is very much a libertarian worldview that is as old as the commercial web itself. Going back to the early days of eBay, technocrats have been trying to pawn off the labor of running a digital community onto its community members».

« #Bluesky keeps growing, and so do its problems: impersonators, harmful content and AI scraping are up, too». www.theregister.com/2024/12/02/b...

« #Bluesky now displays replies by 'hotness'. A lot of users aren't happy with the addition, especially as it's now the default setting. Users protested the act of rewarding "clout farmers" and lamented this similarity to platforms like X». mashable.com/article/blue...

@snarfed.org Is Bridgy Fed paused from Bluesky to the fediverse? I've been trying to bridge my account since Tuesday and it doesn't seem to work. Thanks!

«Na ressaca do X o #Bluesky parece a rede social perfeita mas é bom não nos deixarmos cair na ilusão. O céu agora está azul mas as nuvens podem aparecer» — @joaogsr.bsky.social / @shifter.pt shifter.pt/2024/11/blue...

«Es fundamental evaluar la sostenibilidad de #Bluesky y considerar otras opciones como #Mastodon si buscamos un enfoque más descentralizado y alineado con los valores éticos de las bibliotecas»

Can someone please just run a Bluesky index and appview without this stupid 300 character limit?

«A machine learning librarian at Hugging Face just released a dataset composed of one million #Bluesky posts, complete with when they were posted and who posted them, intended for machine learning research». www.404media.co/someone-made...

« #BlueSky is a centralized corporate app running a theoretically-decentralized network protocol that currently has only one active node on the network: BlueSky. The other minor members of the ATP network are just piggybacking on BlueSky's captive users for auth and reach» — @[email protected]

atproto is authoritarian, activitypub is spinozist

« #Bluesky says it adapts itself to the region and would restrict certain content to people in that territory if forced to do so. If US law were to change under #Trump, it remains to be seen whether it would apply those terms only regionally, given that Bluesky's servers are on US territory»

«All platforms in the EU have to have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many users they have in the EU and where they are legally established. This is not the case for Bluesky as of today. This is not followed». — European Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier.

Yeah as expected if you want to actually use a decentralized platform you need to suffer through the fediverse

«I have no doubt that @jay.bsky.team and the other founders of Bluesky are sincere in their desire to build an open service with a federated protocol, etc. But history has shown time and again that economic interests often interfere with the best efforts of founders». — @mathewi.bsky.social

«Bluesky hasn't added the federation systems that would enable freedom of exit to its service. Perhaps there are excellent reasons to prioritize rolling out the other systems they've created so far. It doesn't matter. So long as Bluesky can be a trap, I won't let myself be tempted». – Cory Doctorow
