"#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.
@youronlyone because the Fediverse still has an account hooked to a server and an admin can block that. You migrate, you lose your posts, and migration is not seamless across diff networks.
Nostr requires no account creation on any server, and the keypair you use works seemlessly across any clients or Nostr websites. Any post you make with Nostr relays through 8 or more (of over 2,000) relays. Even if one relay owner were to "block" your profile, it still flows out seamlessly through any other.
The #Bridgy#BlueskyBridge is great from the Fediverse side, but the #Bluesky side is still missing a lot. Posts longer than the limit just get truncated; wouldn't a Read More link be better? And self-replies don't seem to get bridged at all, so threads don't work.
@TVPaulD In some form you will, because Threads is implementing ActivityPub and Bluesky can be bridged via BridgyFed. In the future it would be possible to just use one to access them all.
I don’t really understand what it means that #bluesky is somehow now connected to the #Fediverse? If I have an account there on bluesky, will I now have two accounts in the Fediverse?
@serenebabe Essentially, yeah. Though I mostly did that to try the tech. I think it’s more useful for people who only want to post in one place, but want to be able to interact with people in other places.
