Mastodon has successfully sold 12 million people on the practical use of decentralization because they see it in action. And they love it.

Bluesky’s biggest fans think decentralization is horseshit—and they’re hostile to it being implemented.

This is a bad omen for Bluesky.

@atomicpoet I don't understand the argument you're making here.

@rchusid Would have been nice to see this Deborah Birx when she actually had power.

Dumb cleaning question: what do you do with all the things that need to be tested to know if they even are still good? Things like batteries, lightbulbs, cables...

@yougenius No. How do you test them?

@Brendajos idk what that means but it sounds helpful!

The "People's Front of Judea" vs. the "Judean People's Front" wars of Mastodon vs Bluesky are here and will only intensify.

Get ready for years and years of people debating the relative merits of their underlying protocols, the apps built atop them, the politics of their respective founders / communities.

Meanwhile Twitter will chug along, a haven for people who like what it has become.

Microblogging is entering its multi-polar era.

@mimsical I'm feeling pretty optimistic about interoperability this morning. Seems to me that Twitter is the main loser here.

Schrödinger's Cat is one of the many things I can recite accurately but don't fucking understand in the slightest. https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/schrodingers-cat-thought-experiment-baffle-inspire-physicists/

Sources: Elon Musk shut off OpenAI's access to Twitter's data in December, believing that $2M a year licensing fee that OpenAI was paying wasn't enough (New York Times) https://www.techmeme.com/230428/p10#a230428p10

@Tribo Ironically, Twitter’s data became a lot less valuable at the same time.

Thesis: Twitter would have been essentially absorbed into the fediverse through no act of its own, were it not for Elon's increasingly draconian crackdowns on API use.

@tryagain Sorry can you clarify what you're referring to? Too many possible "theys" and "its" ;)

misc,
@misc@mastodon.social avatar

@tryagain Oh I think that's absolutely it.

misc,
@misc@mastodon.social avatar

I mean, just imagine two way cross posting for starters. And clients that seamlessly work with both APIs. You quickly have conversations and relationship networks spanning both. Hard to put that genie back in a bottle. Hard to see how Bluesky resists that force. Don't think the Elon playbook is available to them.

I switched to @IceCubesApp partly for curiosity but also because @ivory has started to throw what appear to be spurious rate-limit errors.

But now I'm finding @IceCubesApp to be crash-prone.

Just me?

@judell @IceCubesApp @ivory switched to @MonaApp and haven't looked back.

I've decided I'm not too worried about BlueSky, but @nova burning out and quitting Hachyderm feels a bit ominous, maybe? But I don't know all the details.
