It looks like it’s getting less experimental!

It has Bluesky support. Neat!

I have no idea what the views of the person in the article are, but the Idea of a supposedly federated platform like blusky banning people is a bit rediculous. It only works while you have one big instance but once federation comes it may get messy.

Bluesky is moderated. If you sign-up from bsky.app, you are subscribed to Bluesky Moderation Service, and you cannot unsubscribe (as a requirement for Bluesky to even be allowed on the Apple AppStore).

As a user, you can host self-host your data on a PDS (personal data server), and Bluesky will scrape the internet for your account data and relay it into their app. Anyone with the means can scrape and relay data, but it’s expensive and currently only Bluesky does this.

Anyone who operates a relay and runs an AtProto-powered app has full discretion over what they allow on their platform. In theory, you can certainly launch your own third-party version of Bluesky populated with existing users from bsky.social. However, there is no guarantee that bsky.social users will be able to see your content unless they log-in from a third-party app.

I have to wake up at 5:30 every morning

I’ve been using Firefox Relay. Should I switch to something else? I already have 27 email masks with them and switching would be a real pain in the ass.

It’s pretty concise, actually.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but permanent daylight time is bad for public health.

It’s worse for your sleep and for your health.

If we had year-round DST, the sun wouldn’t rise until after 8 AM in the winter.

He’ll probably fuck it up by pushing for year-round DST (where the sun wouldn’t rise until after 8 AM in the winter).

This is only great news if you are Mark Zuckerberg and you want a near-monopoly on social media.

Oh.

Check out Bazzite. It even has a GNOME variant.

Unfortunately, I think this is low priority

Like Twitter by default, but there’s an experimental toggle to display threads like Reddit

Fuck. What now?

Unfortunately, Bridgy Fed is currently opt-in. For a Bluesky user to interact with a Mastodon user, both have to follow the Bridgy Fed account. There is ongoing discussion about Mastodon instance opt-in, and making Bluesky opt-out.

I highly encourage you to participate in this conversation as a Mastodon user.

Well you can nicely ask your instance admin to block Bridgy Fed
