Bluesky an' clear: the social media app that will definitely last forever

i was just working on that functionality for a site

I guess the “bridge” thing with Mastodon worked… I’m seeing these “test” posts from accounts with these complex “.br.id.g” (or whatever) addendums.

This seems to be how it works: https://fed.brid.gy/

amazing web site

Wow, you can "bridge" yr BS account to the Fediverse just by following a certain account? That's wild

I guess one caution seems to be that if you delete a BS post, it won't (yet) be deleted on the bridged ActivityPub account.

Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter

He prefers Nostr even though it’s “weird and hard to use.”

lmao

Dorsey also confirmed that he is financially backing Nostr, another decentralized Twitter-like service popular among some crypto enthusiasts and run by an anonymous founder.

"Why does this censorship follow me wherever I go?"

“The name is an acronym for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays"

A measure of how large Bluesky is vs how large people think it is: how many of us have Defense Contractor Discourse on their timeline today?

Not on my timeline

Yes, a little bit. I don't know what's going on there at all.

not mine

80% of my tl is ned reposts so yeah it’s in there, idk the context tho (I know some prick works at the genocide factory just don’t know which one)

I have a very narrowly curated followers list that's primarily focused on music / music writing, with a bit of local politics mixed in.

So what I can see this morning seems *completely* on-brand for BlueSky, in that I have a few posts that reference "The Discourse" and "The Bad Thing" without specifying what the fuck they're actually talking about, and then a couple of references to war profiteering and genocide without naming names.

So... looks like most any other morning on BlueSky to me.

who is the war profiteer

not mine
