Seems like we are entering the "stay and fight to keep #Bluesky blue" phase 🤷
bluesky
BlueSky and Mastodon client by @Bri with lots of improvements over TW Blue! https://github.com/masonasons/FastSM/releases/ #Mastodon #BlueSky #Disability #Accessibility
Geen #Facebook, geen #Instagram, geen #Threads, geen #Twitter/X, geen #Bluesky, geen #Tumblr, geen #TikTok, geen #Snapchat, geen #Pinterest, geen #Redit en alleen #Linkedin en #Mastodon.
En zonder #Google kom je met een Android telefoon niet ver dus helaas die nog even aanhouden.
Helaas nog wel #WhatsApp en daar vanaf gaan is erg lastig. Is mijn ervaring een aantal jaar geleden. Kom maar naar #Signal, zeg ik vaak.

If you just left Bluesky today to join or come back to Mastodon, welcome (back)!
We are glad you are here with us 
I will be opting my account out of the #Bluesky bridge next week. If you follow me from Bluesky (I think there are about 3.9K of you) and want to continue seeing my posts you will need to get an account on the fediverse. Cheers.
An important PSA for people who are active on #Bluesky and who, upon hearing that the ICE account was officially verified, are saying: "I will just block it."
Blocking on Bluesky is NOT PRIVATE: it's very easy to see who is blocking any account by visiting sites that list that information.
I took a screenshot from https://clearsky.app, listing all the accounts that are blocking ICE (I pixelated avatars and usernames for privacy purposes).
The safest bet is to mute (that info is private) 😫
Please explain why you still use the internet if you think federating with #bluesky is bad now cause #ICE joined. The web has Nazis too.
People don't seem to understand that on decentralized networks, horrible people also using it is only a problem if their shit is pushed at us. If their tagging others with abuse is tolerated. Otherwise their posts will be ignored just like most sites are. We don't demand browsers refuse to load certain sites or DNS refuse to serve them.
"Quindi sì, #Bluesky sta permettendo alle organizzazioni naziste di accedere alla sua piattaforma. Ha persino verificato l' #ICE. Immagino che abbia fatto la sua scelta".
Anch'io oggi faccio la mia scelta: l'account "Bronson Blu 🦋" (@paoloparti.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy) chiude.

He hecho un vídeo sencillito y comprensible (espero) sobre la importancia de salir de #Twitter y también cómo abrirse un #Mastodon intentando eliminar los prejuicios de que "es muy difícil".
Para que lo podáis compartir con vuestros círculos que aún necesiten un empujón.

Yeah, sure, #Bluesky is dying … but #DeerSocial and the #ATmosphere are not. 🤪 deer.social#SocialWeb

Bluesky To Sell Your Content To AI Data Miners
So it begins. Hidden in Jay Graber's recent charm offensive is this innocuously framed initiative: Bluesky is weighing a proposal that gives users consent over how their data is used for AI (https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/10/bluesky-is-weighing-a-proposal-that-gives-users-consent-over-how-their-data-is-used-for-ai/)
Not so fast.
1) Shows they are planning on doing content deals with AI companies.
2) Seems like it is Opt-out vs. Opt-in (see below).
3) It is just a voluntary robots.txt file

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/115937101960287352
Exactly. Pointing out that #Bluesky isn't *practically* decentralized yet is not a critique, it's a statement of the work they need to do. (and I wish them luck!)
Mastodon has its own demons to slay. No one is perfect here! We're just talking about how things should improve. I so don't want us to form a circular firing squad. We can all win.
#TIL Bluesky has no profile indicator (or even third party labeler that I can find), for determining if an account is a bot.
Periodically, I see people upset that #Bluesky has become the default alternative to #Twitter instead of #Mastodon. So we need to understand why that happened:
Bluesky simply has a better UI/UX for Twitter users than Mastodon because it basically is Twitter whereas Mastodon is its own thing
When the Twitter migration happened in November 2022, those who managed to get a Mastodon account found that navigating Mastodon’s unwritten social norms was difficult
Mastodon already had a pre-existing community, one that clashed with mainstream Twitter – whereas there was no community on Bluesky when Twitter users migrated there
Certain marginalized groups, such as Black folk, found a hostile environment here, and many who have stayed remain here because they believe in the tech despite the community that exists around it
I cannot understate the role that social discovery had in this. On Bluesky it is easy to find people and topics that are relevant to users whereas on Mastodon this takes a lot of heavy lifting.
That said, there’s a silver lining to this. Should Bluesky fail to decentralize and the company alienates their userbase – which is inevitable – where will Bluesky users go?
Obviously, to Mastodon.
But when that happens, we need to prepare ourselves for the eventual migration and build a better environment for Bluesky users to come here.
Dopo avere rimosso l'account #Bluesky, ho compiuto anche l'ultimo passo: con il blocco dell'istanza bridge
mi sono completamente deblueskyzzato.
大家好啊，又经过了好几个月的开发，#Fread 终于支持了 #Bluesky 平台🚀🚀🚀！

The Bluesky corporation continues to host and verify the official ICE account, and the account has now started posting propaganda without any bans or restrictions despite being guilty of murders and kidnaps.
Bluesky also continue to host and verify many other parts of the regime including the White House, JD Vance, Homeland Security, the Department of War.
Bluesky's CEO said in a Wired interview that Trump is welcome to join any time he wants, smiling as she said so.
Bluesky weren't forced to do this. They are choosing to assist fascists presumably because they hope it will get them favours from the regime.
RE: https://masdivago.cc/2026/01/27/o-fediverso-nao-e-para-voce/
O #Bluesky foi criado para ser o Twitter/X com uma roupagem menos fascista, mas orientado ao capitalismo.
Fiquei pensando no "Firehose" da plataforma, que centraliza tudo que os usuários fazem e que torna possível, por exemplo, a análise de usuários-consumidores que o @cochise tão bem identifica nesta publicação de seu blog.
Jag har ännu inte kommit till ha tillräcklig källtillit till #Bluesky. Tycker det är för många konfliktande oklarheter som antyder om dold agenda. Särskilt efter 20 januari hände.
Så tills jag känner mig tillräckligt bekväm med vad de faktiskt vill - och i handling visar - så kommer jag inte interagera med delningar i mitt flöde från där.
Jag uppskattar däremot delningarna ni jag följer gör från där. Det hjälper mig ha koll medan jag funderar vidare.
Bonus: Ser tydligare vilka som är här 🥰
📣 Mededeling voor algemeen nut:
Zondag had ik het er al over om mijn brug met #Bluesky op te blazen (https://todon.nl/@joenepraat/113936690089640731). Het moment is daar.
Ik kan het niet ethisch aan mijzelf verantwoorden om mijn content op een door durfkapitalisten, crypto-bro's en Zionisten beheerst sociaal medium rond te laten zingen. Ik had daar trouwens toch al amper interactie, compleet in tegenstelling tot Mastodon en de rest van de fediverse (1.738 volgers). Daarnaast passen Mastodon en andere fediverse-projecten beter binnen mijn ideologische kader. Namelijk anarchisme, waar het DIY-gehalte een belangrijk onderdeel van is.
Dus sorry voor die 31 volgers op Bluesky. Jullie zijn uiteraard welkom om mij op Mastodon, Pixelfed of waar dan ook in de fediverse te volgen.

I have no accounts on Meta & X, or any social media platform driven by a desire to generate profit by stoking controversy and division by spreading ideologies of hate. I only support fediverse platforms, esp Bluesky & Mastodon, for as long as they remain platforms by the people for the people.
Those who still use Meta & X are supporting continuation of hate toward minority groups such as trans people by the sort of conservatives who would have been prosecuted in the Hague in a previous incarnation.
