Trust me bro, It wont happen again. Just one more chance bro. Forget about Elon bro…
Dorsey actually left BlueSky when he was unable to convince the board to not adopt moderation tools on the platform.
Yeah Dorsey is a piece of shit l, but he’d be leagues better than what we actually have in corporate leadership and governance at Bluesky — they see Bluesky as a “crypto-first” freeze peach platform and are frequently annoyed by the amount of progressives, leftists, socialists, and anarchists on the service.
Dorsey is all those things you just observed about current leadership, and also wanted less moderation capabilities than they do. He wanted Bluesky to be even less moderated than Twitter.
And in spite of the attitudes of the current Blue sky leadership, their moderation tools are pretty decent. Blocking a user there works better than it does in ActivityPub platforms. The blocked user can’t see your profile or posts, at all. Over here a blocked user can still be out replying to everything you post, for all your followers to see. And you can mute/hide replies to your posts on Bluesky, so the rest of the people in the conversation doesn’t see it unless they actively click to show it.
Did bsky change their logo again? Make it seem more decentralized?
Everyone just use snac2. Its easier than setting up a pihole
You have to understand that Zuck didn’t make threads to snag users who objected to him and to Facebook.
Use MU.social
European bluesky alternative
Though if i recall it can connect to bluesky so you can see that content too
Its not a Bluesky alternative, its just a different frontend for Bluesky. A good frontend but nothing more.
*puts EU sticker on US coloured pig*
“There, that makes it better”
creates EU infrastructure that connects to US infrastructure to prevent regional lock-in
What “regional lock-in” are you talking about? Isn’t all the bluesky tech USAian? Aren’t all the technical decisions made in the US? If they decide to introduce some kind of filtering in the code, is the EU side going to copy-paste the code , remove the offending parts, and then host it? I doubt they’ll be able to keep that up for long. They are facing millions of dollars across the pond.
Not the PDSs, only the AppView and PLC but EU alternatives for those are in the work too.
Use Mastodon/Sharkey
Fediverse alternative, not connected to nation states or capitalists.
Neither have the user base of Twitter or Bluesky, which is essential for a social platform.
It’s not essential for my social platform
Odd that you wouldn’t want a diversity of voices and backgrounds on your social media platform. Have you thought about about just changing to a diary?
Oh, stop. If you’ve got something to say just say it.
There are a diversity of voices in every community that is open to the public. I would say an even greater diversity in those spaces where people go when they’ve grown fed up with the closed, commercial platforms.
Why are you wasting time on Lemmy then? Shouldn’t you be posting on Facebook instead?
BlueSky itself is still operated and developed by a corporation though, even if an instance isn’t. Thus you’re still beholden to the whims of the people in charge of that.
Love me some greedy assholes, i trust them with my every fiber being 😍
Jokes aside if we have more people, things could change pretty fast in a good way.
