Decentralized network. Number of servers on the network: 1.
But the server stands a little bit to the side, not in the centre.
This comment is pure gold 🥇. You may collect your points at the door! And don’t forget to thank the lady!
Haven’t been following Blue sky stuff at all. Any reason to use this over mastodon?
Celebrities, politicians and businesses will be more likely to show up on the platform, if that’s your jam.
Ah gotcha. I’m kind of enjoying just hanging with regular people being regular on mastodon. Probably check out bluesky at some point.
Thanks for the info!
As an American you’re supposed to consider yourself a temporarily inconvenienced superstar millionaire, so maybe you should get over to there to hob nob with the rich foke.
Why this over Mastodon?
Good billionaire owner who sold his stuff to evil one.
Put that descriptor in air finger quotes please: “good “
I thought this was the network for “bright people” ;-) They are really thinking to join.
I posted the same comment without joking a month ago. A more direct one. See its score: https://lemm.ee/comment/7775363
Yeah agreed. In his case though I was referring less to the fact he’s a billionaire (which is actually more relevant than what I was thinking about it) than that I used to think he was one of the “good ones” but then later learned to enough about him (but not much, still) to not be impressed anymore.
The level of hypocrisity at Europe is really beyond limits but the fact that there aren’t insane level rich entities in Europe is really something worth bragging about.
It is not just about jack, what annoys me is people with minimum income thinks there are heroic riches who are acting against the order. That is evil PR in action.
SMS verification?
Eeeeh… :-/
Does anybody remember when Twitter ran basically exclusively over SMS?
Is that the only way?
Yes. It’s the second step in the sign-up process. And you can’t see anything without signing up.
That’s too bad
Fleeing from Twitter to Bluesky remains one of the dumbest, most myopic decisions that people have made in recent memory. “Oh, I’m sure a Dorsey-run and designed service won’t turn out exactly like the last one did!”
Well it would certainly be a challenge to turn out worse than current twitter.
Bluesky is pretty great so far, in may i will complete 1 year and I like a lot, made many friends.
Its perfect? Of course not…
It’s an online space. You haven’t made any “friends” at all. Holy shit.
I like it over there. Of all the Twitter alternatives I think it ticks the right boxes.
- Decentralised
- Low barrier to sign up
- Not owned by a crazed billionaire
- No ads
- No popularity algorithm
- Interesting features, like custom feeds and moderation lists
If they can bridge their AT Protocol with ActivityPub then I don’t see why it can’t take off.
Theres a group of devs that have been working on a bridge between the protocols I found out about while digging for info about Bluesky.
The literal elephant in the room is Mastodon, the open source, decentralized social network that’s been around since 2016, years before Bluesky existed. While the platforms share similar goals, they use different protocols, making it difficult for the platforms to work together.
Quick, someone link the xkcd
