"#Jack recently deleted his account on #Bluesky, once pitched—by him—as #socialmedia’s decentralized solution to censorship, and left the company’s board. I reached out and asked him why, which is where our call began…what follows is a missing chapter of internet history that sheds light not only on Bluesky, but #Twitter, X, and the past 5 years of censorship & backlash. The future will be decentralized, or it won’t be free." https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mike-solana
I rarely look at Twitter these days but logged in on an account and got instantly met with Musk, Fox and Rowling. I am so very glad Mastodon exists… #twitter#musk#mastodon
A US district judge William Alsup has dismissed Elon Musk's X Corp's #lawsuit against #BrightData, a data-scraping company accused of improperly accessing #X (formerly #Twitter) systems and violating both X terms and state laws when scraping and selling #data.
#Nintendo has pulled out of #Twitter (or as Space Karen calls it, #X). Reasons are likely due to price hikes on the content-posting API, and the fact that the site is a political hellhole, or as this article describes... "Nazi-curious"
"With Nintendo’s departure, all three major console makers have pulled the plug on native screen-sharing to X."
(I am going to start using the understating euphemism "Nazi-Curious" now)
It's hard to imagine #StackOverflow made their decision without considering the fate #Twitter and #Reddit suffered. That they willingly chose to burn the remaining goodwill they had with their users is bewildering.
»#Bluesky was launched to become the open source protocol layer for social media platforms, but the team ended up “literally repeating all the mistakes we made” at #Twitter.«
»There’s “absolutely no way” social media companies remain censorship resistant without moving to open protocols. “We need to change the foundation everything is built on.”«
»Von Fake News zum totalen Chaos! Wie böse bist du? Bekomme so viele Follower*innen, wie du nur kannst.«
Social-Media ist Propagabda wie andere Medien auch. Es sind nicht alle und es wird gezielter ausgeführt um Menschen zu beeinflussen. In diesem Online-Spiel kannst du dich mal selber überprüfen oder Propaganda vertretend spielen.
Former CEO of Twitter wanted to build a social protocol no-one can control, like SMTP or HTTP for social media. Bluesky’s ATProto was supposed to be an open source protocol that Twitter could eventually utilize, but then Musk happened and Bluesky started taking it to the wrong direction and everything fell apart in Dorsey’s mind.
A very revealing interview. I now see even more future in W3C’s ActivityPub.
