Maybe this?

Bluesky rolls out massive revamp to policies and Community Guidelines

So I'm guessing their going to allow more cuckservatives on there huh? It's funny how truth social was never considered too right wing

We need to make mastodon/pixedfed and lemmy easier to understand for the masses

Cory Doctorow on new Bluesky TOS

Thanks, I have not kept up with the lore.

Been on mastodon (actually gotosocial but same thing) for a bit now.

I knew at some point blue would get enshitified. Didn't think it would happen so soon though.

Interesting that he's so optimistic about bluesky vs mastodon

I think he has written about some of the better technical aspects of ATproto vs ActivityPub, but the one thing holding it back was how hard/expensive it was to host. Now apparently that final hurdle has been resolved.

(NOTE: I am not an expert, just trying to recall from a little reading elsewhere)

Now apparently that final hurdle has been resolved.

He says so in this article, but afaik you won't get a full bluesky node, just parts of it. So it's not fully decentralized. But you're not under their TOS apparently.

Bluesky? More like Blu Spy

*laugh track*

Bluesky speedrunning enshittification.

Your meme templates get more exotic as time goes on.

Actually, you can host a full-network relay for $34 a month: https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3kwzl7tye6u2y (article by a bluesky engineer).

All the other pieces are self hostable, PDSes are trival to host, and would cost less than $5 a month.

It's actually easy to dodge their enshittification with atproto.

If you get banned on mastodon, you can't move your followers to another server, but on bluesky you can get your rotation key and move them permissionlessly.

Alternate appviews can dodge shit decisions (like the OSA id thing), without you needing to make a new account or move servers.

No I think they still have control over the decentralized identifiers, ironically

You can use a web did.

But yeah, did:plc is a joke.

Also: a lot of stuff from that article isn't really accurate anymore.

yeah, honestly I wish them luck

I mean the name alone was a nail in the coffin. Bluesky for blue MAGA.

funky slap bass

What happened this time?

Are there any other instances of BS though? My understanding was that it's too costly to host so there's only the official one
