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

Bluesky’s ActivityPub support is also leagues better than Threads because of Bridgy Fed. At least a Bluesky user and a Mastodon user can follow each other and have a back-and-forth conversation.

1. As far as I know, there aren’t any yet. Even if there were, I personally wouldn’t trust them for the same reason I wouldn’t use any Mastodon instance besides mastodon.social: if the PDS shuts down abruptly, your account is gone forever.
2. Bluesky and ATProto are designed specifically to hide the ways in which it’s decentralized.
3. I think this post does a good job visualizing how AtProto is different from ActivityPub.

This is for if you want to host parallel infrastructure. If you only want to self-host your own data, the instructions create a PDS are here, and the instructions to migrate an existing Bluesky account to that PDS are here.

Blame Apple I guess

As a matter of fact, Bluesky originally was supposed to become Twitter’s back end, but it was spun off when Elon took over. Jack Dorsey left and is now promoting nostr and X.

Bluesky is way more approachable than Mastodon. Most people don’t want to have to learn what an instance is.

The way federation works with Bluesky/ATProto is fundamentally different than Mastodon/ActivityPub (see these diagrams).

If you want to maintain direct control over your data just in case Bluesky shuts down, you can move your data onto a PDS (Personal Data Server) that other apps built on ATProto can still access. Currently, this is a technical process, but it will become easier as the ecosystem develops.

For most Americans, that’s not feasible.

Sir this is !bluesky@lemmy.ml

How do I buy one?

I’m begging google to just bring back YouTube Premium Lite and expand it

I think it belongs at the very bottom of the page.

It’s really annoying and I don’t trust it

Feel free to create a new post. It would be nice not being the only person posting in this community

That’s fair but I don’t really know what that has to do with Buffer adding Bluesky support

It might seem really funny but TikTok is so far YouTube’s most formidable competitor so far.

I just saw an article about Google adding pop-ups during navigation to Google Maps.

What do you want Israel to do? Discriminate against LGBTQ or not?

What we don’t want Israel to do is use LGBTQ people as propaganda, especially against Palestinians. It’s unproductive, and it disgusts me everytime someone uses “Hamas would throw you off a roof” as a cheap gotcha.
