«at this point, AT Proto has become essentially a sort of ideological vaporware; a way for Jay Graber et al to run a social media platform while claiming they don't run a social media platform. This is, of course, just another iteration of the Silicon Valley monoproduct: power without accountability.»

Dear #Bluesky #TOTP-ers. If you reply to me, or quote my posts, and you are not following the Fedi bridge, then I can't see your replies/quotes. You're shouting into the void. Don't do that, it's silly. Follow the bridge 😄
(you can follow the bridge here: https://fed.brid.gy/login)
man kann auf #bluesky nichts suchen, ohne angemeldet zu sein? 🧐
das finde ich, äh, suboptimal. 🤨
What life is like for Palestinians from Gaza on centralised, US-based, Big Tech networks like Bluesky (yes, it’s all those things… did something about them make you think otherwise?)
#Bluesky #complicity #genocide
Is Bluesky silencing Palestinian voices now?

Apparently the US government departments are starting to join Bluesky and are getting ratioed in that the accounts are being blocked more than they are followed.
Doesn't really seem to make sense at first. The US Department Of Transportation isn't going to show up as a reply guy in your mentions and the spooks aren't going to use that account to spy on your posts.
Is the blocking then entirely performative? Because blocks are public they are votes?
I guess really it's people deliberately reading the recommended-for-you AI-driven slop feeds.
Blocked users won't show up in your machine-learning robot-recommended feeds that people apparently must be reading over there.
Just not-following would be enough for me, I don't see things I don't follow. But if you read the robot-DJ feeds then anything can show up, so you have to preemptively block it. If only to train the robot shuffle.

People on #Bluesky, did you realise that the list of who you are blocking there is public?
There is even a website that shows some stats about blocks: https://clearsky.app/

How far will it go this time?
This post from #Mastodon can reach the whole #Fediverse, #Bluesky & more.
That's
I'm asking for help conceptualising & understanding and (on this rare occasion) I'll accept long/slightly mansplain-y answers:
As I currently understand it, #BlueSky is structured a bit like the FediVerse, but uses the #ATprotocol not ActivityPub.
Most people are on bsky.social, but you don't have to be. How are the non-bsky.social 'instances' run? Where are the Ts&Cs for federating? Is it possible to sidestep BlueSky Moderation policies by joining a different 'instance'? Is that partly what #BlackSky is?

Oh hello #Bluesky #TOTP-ers.
Just a gentle reminder that if you reply to my posts or interact with them in any way, that interaction is totally invisible to me unless you follow the Fediverse bridge thingy-wotsit.
https://fed.brid.gy/login will see you right.
A prominent critic of the Trump regime was suspended on #Bluesky. Then it turns out it was because she made a joke/cultural reference that they mistook for a death threat.
So po-faced and dim, not offended by excellent dissection of MAG-America.

That's kind of neat. I wish there was a way of replying to the person, though.

Looks like #bluesky really works hard to speedrun being Twitter 2.0 by having the CEO having Muskian Meltdowns. 👌

I was thinking of #Bluesky as not-Twitter, i.e., commercial but free of the RW nazi-adjacent stuff, & run by well-intentioned people. I was forgetting that it is a US-based VC-funded corp. I imagine there are all sorts of crazy pressures on it to buckle under MAGA rule, and that e.g., Charlie Kirk stuff was a lightning rod.
The only way BS could be immune to the sorts of pressures that…
Oh this is exciting. I've just heard that John Mastodon himself is going to make a rare public announcement to welcome the latest wave of arrivals from #Bluesky.
