Is it really decentralized and private?

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.

ActivityPub has nothing to do with privacy. It’s explicitly about publicly sharing everything you share

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey just out of curiosity, can you give us one of these “wrong opinions”?

Banning someone for criticizing trans ideology, but someone else is allowed to say “Gas the Jews”.

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?

If you think every instance is going to follow suit with your example you’re an idiot. I’d love for you to show numbers of instances that follow your logic, and not just a single comment that made you unhappy with how it played out.
