Obligatory: billionaires will not save us.
Oh wait sorry I misread your original comment.
Honestly, if you’re not a communist, the less you know the better.
There is still an active debate about whether Bridgy Fed should be opt-in or opt-out. As far as I can tell, however, they are working on implementing instance-level opt-in, meaning Gargon would have the ability to automatically enable bridging for mastodon.social users.
Flashes is based on ATProto, but the Bluesky team has nothing to do with this. The headline is misleading.
Trump fired Lina Kahn, so we know this is bullshit.
Every accusation of theirs is a confession.
The fact that Cory Doctorow attached his name to this is extremely promising.
Most of them are joking about reuniting with their Chinese spy
This is all I know. For updates, I would look to mommunism.bsky.social, who is their biggest advocate on Bluesky.
In all likelihood, Red Note will be banned banned, probably before the Red Note devs add a built-in translate function.
The person who posted it in my community copied and pasted the text. Idk if I should remove that post to avoid copyright issues, but here it is I guess.
The most exciting part about this is that no one can say “there’s only one Bluesky instance” anymore.
They shouldn’t have before, because there’s no such thing as a Bluesky instance.
That’s not what happened. There were some Palestinian accounts that behaved in a spammy way, that were marked as spam and suspended. It only became known later that they belonged to real Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Any Mastodon admin would have made exactly the same mistakes.
I’m not going to speak to the morality of enforcing strict guidelines in this situation because I can’t come up with a definitive answer.
I just want to point out that there are Palestinians from the Gaza Strip on Bluesky, and they do talk about the genocide. I can probably find a starter pack of them but right now I’m on mobile.

The TikTok ban is something Mark Zuckerberg lobbied for. It’s not a good thing.
Because Bridgy is opt-in, and I can’t interact with Mastodon users on Bluesky unless they opt-in to Bridgy.
If Mastodon were as big as Bluesky is, it would also have this problem.

What happens to my account if my PixelFed instance shuts down abruptly? Do I have to DM all my followers to follow my new account? Or is this already a solved problem with ActivityPub?
