mastodon is far, far, far more interesting than bluesky
this article is literally an ad piece
The best type of ad is one that passes for something else, like journalism.
I heard that interview and have been casually digging into ActivityPub.
BSKY does account for a few more situations that ActivityPub currently doesn’t.
One is pluggable algorithms. This way you’re not tied to one kind of ordering in your feed.
Another is layered moderation so you can adjust automated vs human moderation policies.
And the last one is how to transport all your stuff to a different server under several different lockout scenarios. I’m still not clear which one’s better if your server just disappears or gets locked out.
In the long run, though, there has to be just one service. You can’t have Mastodon, Bsky, and Threads each with different functionality and incompatible islands.
What they call moderation is just muting posts so that you don’t see them. No thanks. I don’t want bigots hidden in a space I use, I want them absent.

Thank you, my dear man! Registering there right now. EDIT: … maybe not “man”, wasn’t looking too close . “being”
No thanks. I don’t want bigots hidden in a space I use, I want them absent.
Yeah, see, there’s that issue of most people having disagreements on who’s a bigot, and also sometimes using such rules in bad faith. And since hiding what you don’t want to read is insufficient to you, you may be an example of the latter, possibly even unconsciously.
So you’ll have to live with the fact that nobody is absent. One can’t change that anyway.
It’s funny, IRL people I talk to in this tone are usually those actual bigots.
EDIT: … maybe not “man”, wasn’t looking too close . “being”
“Man” or “Being”. Heaven forbid you actually acknowledge a woman…
Ah, I’ve just jumped to the conclusion that since the conversation is about trans people, that we can exclude
So it’s just trans people that you call “beings?”
No, but it’s easier to use something more general instead of an array of words to refer to every letter of LGBTQNE (the last two being non-carbon and electronic)
EDIT: Also it makes me nostalgic over “gentlebeing” from Star Wars EU
So simply queerphobia then. Imagine my surprise
