I clicked a #bluesky toot or whatever they're called and it turns out they've implemented the most critical twitter feature: in-page loading spinners that make you wait several seconds for no fucking reason before you can read less than a kilobyte of text
I have tested @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy and I really like the idea. However, now I would like to quit and delete my mirrored account on #Bluesky. How can I do it? I have blocked @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy so that he can't follow me, but I still see my mirrored account on Bluesky.
It's now possible to connect #Bluesky and #Fediverse accounts together, and talk across a bridge! We get into the nuts and bolts of how it works, and what you can do to get started! #BridgyFed
@dusnm This is a temporary solution they've implemented very recently as a "quick fix" because some accounts really needed it, and a proper implementation was still a bit away. They're working on a more complete authentication system with OAuth and proper 2FA, which should be available maybe in a couple of months.
"#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
Bluesky enthusiasts are stating that Bluesky has ”plans” to make ATProto universal and transfer it to W3C or the like. Well, there is no evidence that Bluesky wants to give up control or the protocol is going to be widely adopted after 5 years of development so forgive me being sceptical. The story is a bit different with ActivityPub.
@rolle agree. If they were serious about this, they would commit to participate in social web working group and to moving toward full federation with the rest of the #Fediverse, instead of scoffing at anyone who raises these points.
Jack Dorsey is furious that #Bluesky has attracted "very very common" people. He also doesn't like the idea of moderation tools facilitating the banning of racists.
All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine. #JackDorsey
