When he built a bridge to connect Bluesky to Mastodon and other ActivityPub-powered platforms, @snarfed.org@snarfed.org started a new chapter for the fediverse. The software engineer opens up to @mike about his rollercoaster ride in the latest episode of Dot Social:
Man, having access to the #Bluesky#ATProto API is like being at a really cool hackathon 24/7, just without the loud music and the noise from the open space… I'm getting ideas faster than I can implement them, I missed this kind of excitement for years 🧑🏻💻💙
Repotnya bluesky kurang intuitif, harusnya bisa milih beragam homepage dan dijadikan satu homepage besar yang bisa kita kustomisasi, dibikin terpecah2 gitu malah bingung. Abis itu nihilnya tranding hashtag yang bikin alur pembicaraan atau topik gajelas alurnya.
Tried #bluesky today, and the more I tried to use it, the more I found myself wanting to come right back and use #mastodon. Guess I just like it here too much 🤷.
“Blacksky is providing a platform to amplify, protect, and moderate Black content so users can safely build community online.
“The mission and purpose of the project is to de-center whiteness as the default and to provide a space for Black folk to discuss the Black everyday in a way that feels affirming.”
@rbreich What they’re basically saying is you can steal and manipulate data from US citizens if the company is US owned.
This bill doesn’t even remotely get to the root of the mega-social-media problem. #regulation#tictocban#x#meta#bluesky
I just realized that #GhostCMS being compatible with #ActivityPub (and possibly #ATProtocol / #Bluesky at a later date) means that it will probably be possible to tag somebody directly in a newsletter post, via their #Mastodon or #Threads profile for instance.
