It's not that bad! There's not as much #crypto stuff as I had been promised, still more of that on #Nostr and #Deso. Not as much #Twitter-style clout-chasing as you #Fediverse nerds sealioned about either. It's actually very Fedi-like but with Twitter's sense of humor. I like the choose-your-own algo feeds too. #mastodon or #calckey should steal that!
Currently my biggest gripes with #Bluesky:
• No hashtags (not always is a sentence filled with relevant keywords)
• App feels clunky (scrolling, copy text, translate, posting content, no timeline marker) compared to native apps
• Still no gif and video support (I often hear #Mastodon needs to improve the latter as well?)
• No media tab, no likes tab
• Hard to follow specific topics, without hashtags, search results are limited
• Huge gaps in the communities
I was kind of expecting #BlueSky to at least make it through six or eight months before having a major content moderation SNAFU (invite only, etc.), but nay, it seems like centralized social networks gonna cent.
Of course, it's never too late for Google to top the show by jumping on the #fediverse bandwagon, sinking a few billion dollars into their own platform, then fucking it all up in 48 hours.
Giving #t2 a whirl. First impression is that it's a huge improvement over #BlueSky - both for screen reader #accessibility and the tone of responses to questions about further accessibility improvements.
Bluesky’s Custom Algorithms: Could Giving Users a Choice in Choosing/Creating own Algorithms Be the Future of Social Media?
Social media algorithms can do wonderful things. They have the power to make or break careers, amplify political polarization (Facebook, Twitter), make people do dumb stuff for clicks, (YouTube), and supposedly promote Chinese Communist ideals to our children ...continues
I made a #Ruby gem that connects to the #Bluesky "firehose" streaming websocket and parses the binary messages into post/event data that you can process easily: http://github.com/mackuba/skyfall
Now, I want to use this to filter posts and build a custom feed 😏
I've published a full example project that implements a custom feeds service for #Bluesky all in #Ruby, using the two gems I made earlier (for streaming from firehose and for implementing the server endpoints): https://github.com/mackuba/bluesky-feeds-rb
Non sono su #Bluesky ma se non ho capito male i messaggi vengono tutti ricoperti di etichette dall'Ai (aiuto) tipo i piloti del GP con gli sponsor e poi sulla base di queste etichette i dev creano tool da utilizzare per filtrare persone e cose in base a come gli utenti vogliono fruire dei contenuti proposti.
Questo potrebbe forse spiegare la mancanza (temporanea?) degli hashtag. La funzione che avevano su Twitter ora è delegata alle label dell'Ai e per metterla a punto non vogliono interferenze.
