Is it really decentralized and private?
ActivityPub has nothing to do with privacy. It’s explicitly about publicly sharing everything you share
the most honest reason I read about is probably that former Twitter user who felt out of place on Mastodon or other Activitypub servers because the “Nerds” who care about privacy and decentral systems which were already on it have a different microblogging culture and they didn’t want adept
so now a new competitor gets traction because the people who felt out of place on Mastodon can relife the Twitter experience from over a decade ago
the fake exclusivity even make you feel special despite the lack of featuresThe superiority dripping from this comment is suffocating
Well, the one person I know who uses it says it’s because he likes having a recommendation algorithm.
People have different priorities and like different things 🤷♀️
I like that too and I don’t understand why people are so very fundamentally against having stuff recommended to them based on what they’re already following.
I’m not keen on it, prefer to find things organically so I usually ignore or (if possible) hide recommendations. But I don’t understand getting mad about it and judging people who find it useful. People gonna people, I suppose.
I may accept an algorithm IF I can know what and why things have beem filtered. A private algorithm which could be observed and manipulated would have my vote.
I want to know what are the bubbles I am in snd and be able to remove them so see something perhaps less biased.
i like bluesky mostly because it’s the most like early twitter.
lists are also amazing.
iirc, i believe they said the reason they went with atproto instead of activitypub was because activitypub didn’t do full account backup so you can take everything from one server to another.
Wasn’t that added to ActivityPub a while ago?

Not invented here syndrome.
Wdym?
“Why Bluesky” is all you need to ask. And the answer is no.
Bluesky is no more or less private than any servicebusing activitypub
When I entered by beta code to get into Bluesky, I was immediately, instantly followed, which doesn’t sound private, an API that lists new accounts?, by funny blogs, photo bomb accounts, and a profile that said, “This is the trans Witch your mother warned you about”.
It’s a …select community that seems at first glance, all in the same think where cogntive reinforcement is the norm.
no and no.
The fediverse has too many children who cry and throw a fit when someone expresses the wrong opinion, there are very few healthy function adults.
People who promote Mastadon and even Lemmy claiming freedom because of its federated services, is a lie they use to push tyrannical censorship for people having the wrong views, or wrong think, so they use services like ActivityPub where people are not allowed to prove them wrong, due to how traumatizing it is to read words on the internet that they don’t like.
No matter how bad centralized social media can be, at least there people have to be adults and handle criticisms and being corrected or challenged for what someone posts. There is no escaping all the evil cruel people who disagree and believe differently.
Hey just out of curiosity, can you give us one of these “wrong opinions”?

Wow, that’s crazy! Hey, would you mind linking to a comment where someone says “Gas the Jews?” I can’t seem to find one.
Also, if you have time, can you link to an explainer for “trans ideology?” Is that like Caitlin Jenner (pro-Trump, anti-speed limit)? Or something else?
Sounds like he’s just bitter that he can’t spout transphobia unchecked
I thought you people had stayed on Reddit. Y’know, the people who live to say shitty things to people and then sulk when they get edited/removed/banned and blame it all on ‘the hive mind’ or ‘group think’ or some other sneering put down when the reality is simply that most people don’t like shitty people saying shitty things.
You realize anyone can just host their own server right?
Just because nobody wants to hear what you want to say doesn’t mean it’s censorship don’t like your server’s rules find another one or host your own.
