bluesky
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.

New: Fediverse Report #108
This week's news:
- Ghost's (@index) connection to the #fediverse is now availabe in public beta for Ghost Pro users, with both an #ActivityPub connection to send long-form posts into the fediverse, and a reader app to read/comment/interact with the fediverse
- @anewsocial , the organisation that manages the bridge between the fediverse and #bluesky shared their upcoming plans
If you click on a link in a Bluesky post, it is now automatically redirected via the domain go.bsky.app before it actually goes to the link in the post. There is no way to stop this or know that it is happening as the redirect only flickers on the screen for a fraction of a second.
Presumably this means Bluesky can now track all link clicking on their platform, including IP addresses, destinations etc?
Or have I misunderstood?
Bluesky is spinning it as a tool for publishers to track referrals, but going beyond the spin it seems to be giving Bluesky access to people's online activity?
Bluesky introduces reply controls. This is a tough UI design as there are quite a few ways to combine restrictions. Easy to make it too complex and then no one uses it. This level of control is making its way into the fediverse as well.
Bonfire and GoToSocial both offer reply controls.
Organizing on decentralized social networks (1 / N)
The Nexus of Privacy is planning a series of online discussions and video/phone calls focusing on organizing on decentralized social networks. There's a range of topics to cover, including looking at the tradeoffs between the different platforms for different use cases, brainstorming how organizers can leverage these platforms, easy ways to start exploring, and ways for groups to move as a whole.
https://privacy.thenexus.today/organizing-on-decentralized-social-networks/ has a CryptPad survey (as well as a link to a version using Google Forms if you prefer that)
Or if you prefer, here are a couple of polls along with open questions, that cover some of the key information
In this episode of the DotSocial podcast, recorded at the #FediverseHouse at SXSW, Bluesky CTO @pfrazee.com strapped on his butterfly wings to explain to @mike how the company is rethinking the internet’s architecture to create a more flexible, user-centric web.

sigh. There are a lot of posts going around right now claiming that #bluesky is feeding data to the various data sniffers that the US government uses for surveillance and that #Mastodon is not.
This. Is. Crap.
Anything you post on Mastodon is nearly as easy to vacuum up as things you post on BlueSky. You should treat *all* social media platforms larger than a Signal group of your college friends + Pete Hegseth as "assumed public." It's slightly more work to slurp up almost all of mastodon but really not that much more.
Is this a bug or feature in #Bsky?
In the past I had my own self-hosted #Bluesky PDS instead of using theirs. I used my domain 'stux.me' at the time but after a while deleted the server
Now I want to create an account on their PDS and use my domain but it says the server returns another DID. Prob from my old acc
Does that mean you can make domains unuseable for Bluesky by simply creating a record on their systems for it or does this gets reset?
There was that story last month about the Turks demanding that certain opposition Bluesky accounts be silenced. They were (mostly, sort of, it’s complicated). I dug into it and came away with an essay on what we want and don’t want concerning censorship or no-censorship and how well #Bluesky and the #Fediverse might give us that: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/04/28/Censoring-Social-Media
大家好，#Fread 现在已经决定开源了，欢迎大家查看代码提交 PR。
Fread 经历了两年多的开发，从开始到现在一直免费使用，之前由于没考虑好到底是付费下载还是免费所以闭源，仓库里也有很多敏感数据一直没法开源，现在主要功能都开发的差不多了，也是时候开源出来了。
虽然这种项目大部分都是业务代码，但是 Fread 还是有些独特之处的，首先使用的是 Kotlin Multiplatform 和 Compose Multiplatform 做跨平台，目前像 Fread 这么复杂的产品使用这样技术栈的其实很少，并且这是比较新的技术，这点 Fread 有很多参考意义。
另外 Fread 因为要兼容多个社交平台以及混合 Feeds，所以架构设计上下了点功夫，目前可以从架构上兼容这些短博客协议。
总之，虽然确实希望通过 Fread 赚钱，但我更希望自己开发了这么久的 App 有更多的人使用和喜欢。

Confirmation: Bluesky Now Blocking User In Turkey In Response To Turkish Demands
Yesterday Arda Kılıçdağı @arda posted (https://micro.arda.pw/@arda/114344261036182422) that #Bluesky had blocked a user in response to Turkish pressure, and published the purported notification.
Today, he confirmed the block by demonstrating that the subject account is still visible in the rest of the world, but blocked in Turkey (see below and https://micro.arda.pw/@arda/114348085466681138). Independently confirmed by @aral (https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114348113927295764).
The other day I finally got it. Why #Bluesky is so popular with "regular people" (aka non-techies). It's because it's CENTRALIZED (of course the Bluesky folks would never admit it out right).
One name: Bluesky.
One official URL to join / browse / post messages
One official app: "Bluesky Social" on app stores
In this post-literate society where people have been trained by commercial social media for 2 DECADES to choose the easiest, most frictionless option, of course they will pick Bluesky over the #Fediverse.
Try introducing the concept of servers / instances and names like Mastodon, Sharkey, Pleroma, GoToSocial, Friendica, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Lemmy to people not familiar with them. They'd think you're speaking a foreign language.
The Fediverse is made up of thousands of independent servers. You can't log in to https://joinmastodon.org or https://joinpeertube.org to browse Mastodon or PeerTube. Conversely, when you log into Bluesky you see messages by Bluesky members.
People need to be educated first about defederated options and their numerous advantages.
I get it now. I'm still 1000% in when it comes to the Fediverse but I understand.
And I'm tired.
And I'm posting this here on my GoToSocial account because I wanted to say my piece in one go and I would have run into Mastodon character limits.
How many people have I convinced to join the Fediverse in my 9 months advocating for it through a blog? TWO. How many people are still active on it? One.
Off I go play with LEGOs with my little one - in 12 years, when she's old enough I will set up her own instance. So Fediverse, you gotta be thriving in 2037.

Meine immer aktuelle Tabelle enthält jetzt nicht nur Accounts auf Mastodon und anderen Fediverse-Diensten, sondern auch welche auf #Flipboard, #Threads und #Bluesky – allesamt von hier abrufbar.
Insgesamt sind es jetzt 942.

K. Looks like I've been booted off #Bluesky since I posted this there:

Seems not to be an outage & really weird. Anybody else have any probs?
New: Taking Control of Your Timeline - in Different Ways
#Fediverse platforms as well as #Bluesky offer to give the user control of their timeline - in contrast with the control that Big Tech Platforms have with their algorithmic timelines.
But the approach is surprisingly different: fediverse platforms like Mastodon give you control over *how* you see the content you follow, whereas Bluesky gives you control over *what* content you see

They may share a suffix (and a protocol), but Blacksky isn’t hitching its wagon to the Bluesky app or team. Founder and CEO @rudyfraser.com is creating a new, fiercely independent playbook for communities — one made possible because of the flexibility of the open web. We're excited for you to hear the latest episode of @mike's Dot Social podcast:

'Noteable' account verification on Bluesky uses Google Forms.
So, get this. To receive one of these blue check things on #Bluesky you need a Google account and must submit your personal information using a Google Form.
Kinda feel like asking millions of people to send you personal info over Google Forms may not be the most privacy aware or well thought out way to go.
They will never have enough data about you.
They will always ask for more.
That's how they feed the billionaires.
Leave and delete corporate social media.
Before they eat you whole.

News: Middle East Eye | #Bluesky urged to review 'punitive' policies towards Palestine content
"Social media users accuse the platform of disproportionately labelling Palestinian voices as “spam” and suspending accounts sharing footage from Israel's assaults or fundraising links..."
"...some users accused the company of "selling out" its users, while others suggested that the platform’s democratic image belied biases similar to those seen in other tech firms."

本来从设计上看 #bluesky 的 #ATprotocol 挺先进的，结果字数限制太难受。我在折腾将Nostr帖子同步过去，但是外链图片又不能直接预览。有点垃圾哦
