I have a question about BlueSky :blobfoxthinkgoogly:
So the point of BlueSky is to try to simulate a centralized social media platform with decentralized hardware, right? So, like, what's the incentive to hosting your own BlueSky servers? I can see having a single-user repository for your own data, but there's no reason to host anyone else's personal data, right? :confused_dog:
With Mastodon, the incentive to host a server comes from the fact that servers are smaller, tighter-knit communities, so hosting your server comes with building a community. What's the incentive on BlueSky?
:mastodon: The Trouble with Forking Mastodon
— @news
"In light of the announcement of Mastodon’s US-based 501c3 Non-Profit, and the reveal of that organization’s board members, there has been backlash from members of the Mastodon community. Some people are even saying that this is the last straw, it’s time for a hard fork of the project!"
This #OpenSource#FlipperZero alternative is looking like a great new tool to tinker with. It's using a #HackBat hat on a #RaspberryPi, it's cheaper, and the source code is available. Anyone on #Fedi make one yet?
I liked people posting annoying commentary as quote-tweets a lot better than when they do it in comments. Quotes were easier to ignore - because it felt that they were meant for their followers, not for me to react to and to manage (esp. if I don't want to be flooded with notifications). Can't wait for the feature.
(Because this is #fedi: you may feel different about this. It is obviously fine. Be civil, don't mansplain - even if you are not a man.)
