Now I wonder if I should look up Nostr.

I do have a Mastodon account. What would make it easy to transition from Bluesky to the Fediverse? Can you follow mastodon users from Bluesky or Bluesky users from Mastondon?

Twitter's Jack Dorsey tried to do Twitter again and forgot it would act like Twitter

What the hell is Nostr

What the fuck is a Nostr?

Speaking purely from a technical perspective, Mastodon just isn't decentralized enough for a lot of people's liking. ATproto fixed much of those problems.

Not to mention I can just block the chuds and life goes on.

my pleasure!!!

Just doing my job as an anti-authoritarian weirdo.

I'm doing my part!

Unfortunately the people who are in charge of this site hate the fact that trans people and furries did that and still hang around here, so they're targeted for suspension more often than the average rule breaker.

*furry noises*

Amen

All of the Sex Workers, Furries, Trans people, POC, Black people and more really made this place the best social media. It still sucks some days but it kinda fucks 69 times more often than it sucks

Yes! Thank you!

When I arrived here (among the first 125,000), here were times when my feed would just end. I started following some of "less conventionally acceptable" people and things just sort of took off.

You're very welcome!

Biodiversity is crucial for a healthy ecosystem.

They help us so much and expect so little in return

Also: You're welcome lol

🫡 Firing off rent lowering skeets until all the brands and chuds are dust in the wind.

Also not forgetting the lovely BIPOC Sex Workers who helped make it happen. As “distasteful” as many consider them, Sex Workers, like Furries and Trans folks, are often signs of a healthy online ecosystem, since they embrace bodily autonomy and all that entails. Also, there’s a lot of crossover. ❤️

You're... welcome? I suppose? I mean, it's not like much was done.

Like, if there's ever a plane crash after one of the big furry conventions, the entire internet goes down.

I mean, I was used to US having to leave, so it was just really nice to see it work the other way for once.

Doing what I can :)

The architecture also makes it much harder for brands and influencers to advertise and make money here. Which is good but also bad But mostly good

Bluesky really reminds me of what *diaspora tried to do but not implemented as well.

The maintainers of blacksky would have a better idea, but based on the user volume and the number of duplicated operations across the platform, it's ugly. Bluesky was built by coiners, it's decentralized as in blockchain, meaning it's actually quite centralized and very inefficient.

Y'know what would be exceptionally funny? If Bluesky gets Twitter enshittified, trans furry invasion of Nostr.

No that's exactly what is. The plan is to eventually also host a bluesky backend in the EU as well, but you can already host your account there.

A bit technical but you can find more here. "We assume that a Personal Data Server may fail at any time [...] The goal of the AT Protocol is to ensure that a user can migrate their account to a new PDS without the server's involvement."

Yes exactly; everything gets moved across to different hardware and so to a different jurisdiction but the platform is unchanged, my username is unchanged, my posting history is still intact, it’s all done behind the scenes and is seamless and invisible as far as anyone following me is concerned.

I am one of the many that have transitioned over

Yeah, if red darkens the horizon of Bluesky, everyone will jump ship for Bluersky as soon as a likely successor arises. Which I believe was actually the intention of the architecture...not for blue specifically, but so if the politics "here" don't appeal, you can make your own space with this tech.

The architecture is a big part of why I am here, because it mitigates the bad outcome. I left Twitter before Elon's Nazi bullshit. It was a shit site a long time ago and extra is now. And I appreciate that Bsky is built differently. It's not just a different place -- its bones are different.

What the eldrirch fuck is a Nostr?

I read that as "they went to Nostril" and I wondered what that was. To be honest, I wondered what the Nostr was as well as I've never heard of it.

I like to think we did a good job then, we need to do the same now to these weird AI goons that have exploded in population (more than usual) over the last four or five days. I don't know what AI influencer talking head said something about bsky being welcoming to them but they need to go.

I’m sorry they went WHERE???

The difference between people in tech, and 'tech bros'.

Them as what use whomst are rules-upmakers up with which I will not put. 😜

Had to look that up. I was in the second wave (I think) to leave Twitter. Foundered about on Mastodon a while, but there was simply no engagement. Glad I found Bluesky. Fascinating to see the ecosystems & what works for whom.

You're welcome

I like how any way you look at it, it must be a confession.

Well, bless his heart.

if he can get Quaaludes in 2026 I am impressed
