Unfortunately, I think this is low priority

Like Twitter by default, but there’s an experimental toggle to display threads like Reddit

Fuck. What now?

Unfortunately, Bridgy Fed is currently opt-in. For a Bluesky user to interact with a Mastodon user, both have to follow the Bridgy Fed account. There is ongoing discussion about Mastodon instance opt-in, and making Bluesky opt-out.

I highly encourage you to participate in this conversation as a Mastodon user.

Well you can nicely ask your instance admin to block Bridgy Fed

Bluesky’s ActivityPub support is also leagues better than Threads because of Bridgy Fed. At least a Bluesky user and a Mastodon user can follow each other and have a back-and-forth conversation.

1. As far as I know, there aren’t any yet. Even if there were, I personally wouldn’t trust them for the same reason I wouldn’t use any Mastodon instance besides mastodon.social: if the PDS shuts down abruptly, your account is gone forever.
2. Bluesky and ATProto are designed specifically to hide the ways in which it’s decentralized.
3. I think this post does a good job visualizing how AtProto is different from ActivityPub.

This is for if you want to host parallel infrastructure. If you only want to self-host your own data, the instructions create a PDS are here, and the instructions to migrate an existing Bluesky account to that PDS are here.

Blame Apple I guess

As a matter of fact, Bluesky originally was supposed to become Twitter’s back end, but it was spun off when Elon took over. Jack Dorsey left and is now promoting nostr and X.

Bluesky is way more approachable than Mastodon. Most people don’t want to have to learn what an instance is.

The way federation works with Bluesky/ATProto is fundamentally different than Mastodon/ActivityPub (see these diagrams).

If you want to maintain direct control over your data just in case Bluesky shuts down, you can move your data onto a PDS (Personal Data Server) that other apps built on ATProto can still access. Currently, this is a technical process, but it will become easier as the ecosystem develops.

For most Americans, that’s not feasible.

I just saw an article about Google adding pop-ups during navigation to Google Maps.

What do you want Israel to do? Discriminate against LGBTQ or not?

What we don’t want Israel to do is use LGBTQ people as propaganda, especially against Palestinians. It’s unproductive, and it disgusts me everytime someone uses “Hamas would throw you off a roof” as a cheap gotcha.

Because there are a lot of dishonest people who claim they’re only criticizing Hamas, when they are actually calling for violence against all Palestinians.

“Harbu Darbu” is a perfect example of that.

Why would any non-Russian use Yandex?
