This is the first time I’m seeing a way to host a full Bluesky network, I think. It seems like a big step towards full federation beyond appviews and personal data servers.

    There is already a fediverse twitalike called mastodon. I don’t understand why anyone here cares about bluesky.

        By that logic we should also connect up with facebook and 4chan, not to mention twitter itself. bsky is just another one of those platforms from what I can tell. It is fairly new so not yet blatantly evil, but give it time. We here are supposed to know better.

          By that logic we should be happy gazing at our own navels, shouting to the void, looking at empty pages.

            It’s not about the code, it’s about control of the servers and feeds. Decentralization doesn’t just mean multiple servers. It means no single entity has special authority over the user community. That isn’t the case with bluesky from what I can tell.

              You are correct, if you take a step back and consider bluesky wholistically, it is DEFINITELY not decentralized.

            Investors offer money, federation goes bye-bye and you end up with another twitter.

      Because mastodon is the Linux of social media. One day it will be ready for the average user…

      Because it doesn’t have search (at least my instance doesn’t), doesn’t show engagement so the whole thing feels empty like people are posting into the void

        If the problem is fixable technical shortcomings, why not fix them instead of throwing up our hands and surrendering?

          Not showing engagement is a choice, they don’t want people to interact with the most popular things

          But everyone just wants Twitter, not someone’s ideas of what social media should be
