Two very interesting things I noticed about this post by #Bluesky (which I discovered via @solimaniac_). ☝🏾 Bluesky is differentiating themselves from the #Fediverse (which is primarily built on #ActivityPub) by referring to what they are creating as the #Atmosphere ✌🏾 Bluesky admits what they have built thus far is not truly decentralized as they want to embrace “hard decentralization” 👉🏾 Protocol Check-in (Fall 2025) https://docs.bsky.app/blog/protocol-checkin-fall-2025
Screenshot: The Atmosphere is Thriving Before we dive into what we're up to, let's take a moment to celebrate what's happening in the Atmosphere. Our little network is really starting to hit its stride. The energy is incredible and growing by the day! We're seeing new projects pop up constantly, and there's a new level of maturity across the board.
Screenshot: Hard Decentralization Hard decentralization refers to the emergence of a resilient and multi-stakeholder Atmosphere that relies less on Bluesky PBC's existence. There's some overlap with the other two goals here. Improving things like sync make it easier to run alternate infrastructure like Relays and Appviews, and our governance work should help build confidence that the protocol is a genuine public good that's larger than Bluesky. To support the goal of hard decentralization, we're also tackling some specific technical challenges. Improving Non-Bluesky PDS Hosting The decentralization guarantees of AT come from the locked-open substrate of data hosted by Personal Data Servers (PDSes). One of our current goals to increase the resilience of the network is to encourage more non- Bluesky PDS hosting.

The opening page from ASTERIX comic books. A map of ancient Gaul, with a magnifier over north-west France - showing the Gaulish village surrounded by Roman camps. Here the village is crossed out and says The Fedi.
the cover from ASTERIX and the Great Crossing - a small ship is in heavy seas with Asterix peering over the bow, a defiant Obelix with arms crossed, and tiny Dogmatix (a dog) at the side of Asterix. Here the ship has the fediverse logo on the hull.

Linux: Since the influx of Blue Sky and Twitter users, Mastodon Dot Social had unfortunately — but temporarily — experienced a few Nazi accounts, all of which have since been removed. However, a few individuals are now wrongfully claiming that the Fediverse is no different, simply because a few bad individuals managed to make it here. What they’re choosing to ignore is the key difference: those accounts were dealt with and rightfully removed. The fact that they weren’t caught immediately does not support the implications being made. 🙄Haters are going to hate. 🤷#Fediverse #ActivityPub #Mastodon #BlueSky #Twitter #Nazis

literalgrill: Fun news! The AI moderator they use that auto-labels disabled people as pornography on Bluesky? It's connected to an AI image and video generator!So all art and videos posted on Bluesky not only get to help make a slop machine better, but help make sure all disabled people are considered porn.And Bluesky's Head of Trust and Safety is VERY cool with this!#Disability #Bluesky #FuckAi

Skeet from sentient piece of feces Aaron Rodericks that reads: thehive.ai evaluates all images posted to the site. We don't actually provide any input.
A post showing that the company responsible for AI moderation on Bluesky has an AI image AND video generator. Seeing as how it gets access to every single picture/video posted here, I'm sure there's a special contract to avoid them using that data! Lol, lmao even.

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Building a Billionaire-Proof Social Media Site
natweaver: How about an #Introduction again, since I haven’t been very active here and I’m thinking of being more active. And yes, it’s in part because of #Bluesky, the CEO, and their shit content moderation. I’m not leaving there yet. I would like to try another instance, though it looks like that may be pointless if Jay can get mad at you and delete you from all instances.But I digress… an intro:I’m an #author #writing a book series called Mercedes Masterson Detective Stories, but also other novels and short stories as well. I have the first three in the series out now. The first two are free currently from my newsletter site (in the library). The series is noir/thriller and with some horror sometimes and deals in themes such as corruption, friendship, and #LGBTQ issues (Mercedes is a closested #bisexual woman). I’m also a trained method actor (the non-annoying kind) and recently starred in a short film that garnered 4 nominations including Best Film. I used to do a lot of indie filmmaking back in the early 2000s. I love movies and especially #horror. I’m currently enrolled at SNHU and in my last year of school. It’s looking like I may wrap up my bachelor’s degree in the spring of 2026. I’m an English major and do enjoy #editing and am considering it as a career afterwards. I’m rounding off my degree with courses on #journalism. I write and edit a #newsletter called Weaver’s Deep Thoughts which has “deep thoughts” on a variety of topics as well as free #ShortStories and #poetry by a diverse group of writers. It’s slowly growing and submissions are currently open. I’m currently rolling out a serialized story called “The Bride of Usher” for #Halloween which is a sci-fi/horror blend of “Frankenstein” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” New installments are dropping every Friday this month. The first is a available now. Here’s some links: — Newsletter: https://weaversdeepthoughts.com — Mercedes books: https://mercedesmasterson.com — Other links like socials and dms: https://Weaver.wtfI’d love to connect and I love collaborating. Stay awesome. And leave LGBTQ folks alone!! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈Be good to each other. ✌️ Edit: Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments, or re-introduce if we know each other from other places.

Greg Pak ‪@gregpak.net‬ keeping an eye on this, too ‪Dr. Johnathan Flowers, Blade Wielding Bisexual (Lordean arc)‬ ‪@shengokai.blacksky.app‬ · 1d Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite. To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

But being banned by Bluesky has resulted in his account disappearing from Blacksky as well. We're still several steps away from having the ability to escape deficient Bluesky moderation by moving to another server. bsky.app/profile/alia... ‪Aveta👾🇭🇹‬ ‪@aliafonzy.blacksky.app‬ · 1d Here is his account on BlackSky. He shows as suspended too. I use the BlackSky app view. Screenshot of Bluesky social media interface showing an error page.

kittylyst: Looks like there may well be a surge of users from Blacksky and the other "alternative" ATProto instances checking out the Fedi, or reactivating old accounts, given that they're now discovering that ATProto is a Potemkin Village of decentralization and that BSky still hold all the cards.This time, can we please try not to act like assholes / the HOA while they find their feet.#fediverse #Bluesky #activitypub #atproto

literalgrill: Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their posts. ATProto is clearly showing serious signs of weakness.Do the people who love the Fediverse have the guts to admit we have poorly served the Black community and need to apologize? To take radical steps to show this place will be worth investing in for Black users who may want to leave Bluesky?Now is the time to act and do so. If ever there was a time to put a massive amount of momentum behind the Fediverse, it'd be now. We should do it.#Mastodon #Bluesky #ATProto #Fediverse
