Ah, BlueSky has reached that special social media milestone where outlets declare it "dying" despite growing from 10M to 37M users! 📈 As one journalist noted, "being prematurely written off is a rite of passage" for social networks. Meanwhile, AT Protocol keeps spawning new apps.

tech.slashdot.orgBlueSky Isn't Dying - and There's a Larger Ecosystem Growing Around Its Open Protocol - SlashdotBlueSky has grown from roughly 10 million users in early November to 36.79 million today — and its last 30 days of traffic looks very level. But instead of calling BlueSky's traffic "level", right-leaning libertarian Megan McArdle argues instead that BlueSky's "decline shows no sign of level...

Agreed.

There's a persistent idea in the decentralized revolution, by people who've never experience this type of harm, that if you don't like fascism, racism, transphobia, etc, you can just block.

This is a techno-libertarian worldview that lacks object permanence. It's like a baby playing peekaboo. Just because my hands are over my face, it doesn't mean that the harm disappears.

social.growyourown.servicesFedi.Tips (@FediTips@social.growyourown.services)p.s. It isn't enough to say that individuals can just block stuff they don't like. Fascists don't care about people who block them, they only care about those who don't block them. Fascists use platforms to try to radicalise anyone who will listen. Fascists spread hateful lies about vulnerable minorities, and if someone believes those lies they may follow the fascist and spread lies too. I've tried to explain this in a way that hopefully anyone can relate to: https://social.chinwag.org/@FediThing/112581263140051643

Could someone explain a hypothetical.

If Vance were to join mastodon by comparison, assuming a similar desire to block from so many users, how differently might this play out based on the way that federation works within an Activity Pub context.

Just trying to understand the practical nature of the two protocols as applied to this case.

From what I understand of ATProrocol all that folks blocking achieves is it filters that account off for that user but otherwise the account can roll along just fine to other users. Correct me if I’m wrong here also. Keen to know more.

I hope someone can answer this question. @snarfed.org@fed.brid.gy maybe?

I find #Bounce pretty exciting but I'm unsure of something.

If I move an ActivityPub account from one platform/server to a new one, I can't use the old account anymore.

Is it the same with Bounce? If I move my social graph from Bluesky to ActivityPub, does my Bluesky account "shuts down" or can I still use it afterward?

I know, Bounce is not out yet, so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I was wondering.

The problem with #Bluesky is they came to be during a time when decentralization was en vogue, so they decided to just be that.

But, it's marketing.

Ten, fifteen years ago Bluesky would've branded itself as "modular" or having a robust API like App dot Net.

They want to be the internet's common infrastructure. Of course they do. What for-profit company wouldn't want that?

I maintain that #ATProtocol is interesting. But it's not a noble pursuit.

Anyway, I deleted my BS account.
