Okay man, we get it. You like Bluesky. You’ve posted at least 10 articles of people moving from X to Bluesky.
Articles about this will continue to be posted until moral improves
Why do so many people think they MUST be heard? 😆 That’s one of the reasons I deleted Reddit. Too many weirdos thinking that I owed them a debate or something whenever I commented something they disagreed with. It happened on Twitter too but I got rid of that when musk announced that he was going through with the purchase.
Ideally everyone would be able to set up rules as to who and what they see.
Something like (pseudo syntax initially like SQL, but went off track):
IF sum(this.poster.posts.karma) < -100 OR this.score < -10 OR sum(this.poster.opinions.rating WHERE this.poster.opinions.source IN me.friends) < 0 THEN false ELSE true END.
If you’re proposing that front end devs literally provide an optional field for those with the time and motivation to curate their feed programmatically with some kind of query language, that’s god damn brilliant, and would persuade me to use an otherwise feature–lacking but decently polished client over any other.
Yes.
I’d also want a standard, so that it wouldn’t be monopolized into one bigger platform, like with GMail.
And probably servers should have some kind of zero-knowledge protection, so that such a client-side filter would be the only one applied to the information. Maybe with ability to subscribe to filters published by someone else, of course, or kill lists, but always preserving transparency and choice.
EDIT:
I think NOSTR is kinda similar, only it has public keys as identities, just so. In general its cryptographic mechanisms are used as intended, but in a very ancient way. It’s too simplistic.
New Freenet (Locutus), I think, is going to be a platform where one can make such an application and a thousand others.
The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you’re comfortable with.
just say X-odus
Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.
“we’re not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we’ll keep hanging out in both.”
Of course they don’t mention fediverse as an option. Of course.
I thought they were the same bar
Americans are funny.
*Here let’s abandon the ZA fascist owned social media and move to the Russian fascist owned social media.
Reality does trump fiction.
Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?
Holy cow, what a Bluesky shill account.
Can we stop using the term “TERF”? It doesn’t mean anything at this point. The transphobic assholes on X certainly aren’t radical feminists.
What is a TERF?
Trans Excluding Radical Feminist. It’s a rabbit hole and it’s not much fun past the first 100 meters.
A “feminist” that claims to support gender equality, but thinks trans folk should diaf.
