I recently finished the episode of The Verge’s podcast #Decoder with the interview to Bluesky’s CEO and it seems a quite interesting project. At the beginning I wasn’t looking really into it because of their choice of using a new protocol instead of the existing ActivityPub, but after listening to her and the reasons behind this choice maybe I’ll give them a chance.

What do you think? Do you use it alongside with the fediverse?

    You mean the same illusion of decentralisation that the fedi offers? Where AP is largely mastodon centric and identity is tethered to an instance? Where a user is at the whims of an admin? With the networks being so small those admins have more of an impact on everyday users than Musk. They’re not hand waving moderation. They have a Trust and Safety team, third party, custom feeds, all of the same user level controls any social platform has and goes above that with their labelling system. Especially, when it comes to illegal content they’re in better position to protect their teams and users than fedi, which directly exposes admins/mods to harm and has no resources to help their mental health. You called others indoctrinated but that’s how you come across and spewing fallacies

      🧐

      Where AP is largely mastodon centric

      Centric is not centralised though is it?

      identity is tethered to an instance?

      But not a central instance or indexer?

      Where a user is at the whims of an admin?

      Like they have a choice, because it’s not centralised

      With the networks being so small those admins have more of an impact on everyday users than Musk.

      So decentralisation then?

      You called others indoctrinated but that’s how you come across and spewing fallacies

      Have a good day
