mastodon is far, far, far more interesting than bluesky

this article is literally an ad piece

The author definitely is on the fediverse: @mmasnick@mastodon.social

The article may be fairly positive about Bluesky but how Bluesky separates out various functions like feeds, moderation/labeling, and data storage/portability is a definite advantage that I think should be discussed.

@Spotlight7573 thanks for the heads up. I'm an idiot.

If you think Mike Masnick does not spend enough time on the Fediverse, you do not spend enough time on the Fediverse.

Yeah I was being a bit of an oblivious dick in my comment.

I still disagree with him though.

[–] JoBo@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're not required to agree with him. But if your disagreement with the headline is stopping you from reading the article, you're missing out. There's some useful ideas described which Fedi-coders would do well to take notice of.

[–] livus@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're right and I have since read the article properly.

I'm not a coder, just a casual, but it's interesting, though I still disagree that it's a good way to go.

[–] JoBo@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago

What is there to disagree with? He's describing what looks like a very good system for federation (especially moderation), not telling anyone which way to go.

@romp_2_door @psychothumbs i'm curious what makes you think it's "an ad." There are plenty of things in the piece that might be useful for thinking about for ActivityPub/fediverse.
