I know next to nothing about it, but isn’t it created and owned by the dude who created twitter? I don’t trust it one bit.
jack dorsey was initially just on the board of directors, but he didn't create or own it.
bsky and atptoto is all open source: https://github.com/bluesky-social
love bluesky;; it has a really great trans community on it. plus both artist and romance book twitter moved over to it so i've been having a blast. i go between bsky, threads, and mastodon. i love how threads brought in activitypub support i just wish that bsky would bring in the atproto bridge natively. i'd love to follow bsky users on mastodon like i can threads users
how can threads be transphobic when my following feed is filled with trans people? id say it's more trans friendly than mastodon.
blocking threads is so stupid and antithesis to the nature of the fediverse.
The problem with federating with Threads is that then anyone who wants to join the Fediverse will just join Threads (especially the people already using Instagram or Facebook), leaving the success or failure of the Fediverse in the hands of a company whose interest is to attract as many people as possible to its platform, not contribute as an even partner in a federation.
says who? and you could just replace threads with mastodon.social in your statement
honestly feel like the instances that are blocking @threads.net before it was even released are missing the point of activitypub and federation completely and are becoming the same type of closed systems that they left before coming to mastodon.
personally i love seeing how excited the threads devs are about activitypub. watching them demo fediverse sharing was super awesome - i hope more socials embrace it. i'd love to see bsky be able to share with activitypub and at proto soon too.
damned six fingered man who killed inigo's dad.
I’m here for piracy news, not bad art. Who is this supposed to appeal to?
hi it's me. i'm here for both. :)
i can do that too with --no-preserve-root but you don't see me bragging.
wikipedia is already a great non profit source of public knowledge though i don't see the benefit of fracturing it
i can see a benefit to using this to replace things like fandom wikia though
there is sidebery but i just like the edge version more. the extension wasn't as fluid, plus i like how i can have native profiles for work, uni, and personal built in without extensions like profile switcher, which relies on a third party program. nothing against it; and i still donate to mozilla and firefox. i'm looking forward to seeing mozilla's approach to tab groups though.
they have a following feed but they also let users create their own algorithmic "feeds", too which is really nice.
https://blueskyfeeds.com/en
they also open sourced their moderation engine so third party users can create labelling engines: https://www.engadget.com/bluesky-will-let-users-run-their-own-moderation-services-230017647.html
they also have their own trust and safety and in house moderation teams though (and transphobia usually gets taken down really quickly). they also have moderation lists that people can create that people can subscribe to so accounts on those lists get automatically muted or blocked for you as long as you subscribe to the list. like i'm subscribed to three lists by kairi (@estrogenempress.gay) which keep transphobes, bigots, and anti gay people automatically blocked.
