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.
Because it has the users Mastodon lacks.
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.
bluesky is foss and open to federation, why not bluesky? Also a mastodon bluesky bridge is possible because of this as well
Investors offer money, federation goes bye-bye and you end up with another twitter.
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.
Why do the work for a for profit corp instead of just making a Mastodon server? I also wish we had a different term for these for-profit leeches that want to vacuum up free fediverse content for profit. I may be in the minority, but they are not Fediverse in my eyes. And we should not be working on ways to incorporate them, but on ways to block them off completely, and quarantine them to their own little islands in cyberspace.
