5. Can packs themselves include 'hidden' toxic accounts so people are fooled into following them.

This is now a known issue on #Bluesky, and should be taken really seriously. The proliferation of packs without accountability can easily lead to 'malware' or 'trojan' packs that contain accounts that expose unwitting users to follow people they would never want to deal with.

This underscores that the above mentioned accountability and recourse requirements for any pack.

Truth: #Woke #TDS #Bluesky

So, not trying to be a jerk (well, maybe a little), but here is the conversation tech journalists and ex-Twitter/X folks should be having with the #Bluesky CEO.

Q: You are a corporate platform and your owners include blockchain tech bros. Why won't what happened at X happen here?

A: Distributed system... global namespace... transportability... public domain code... billionaire proof...

Q: So, where can I sign up for one of these non-Bluesky distributed instances?

What, if so, makes #Mastodon superior to #Bluesky? I’m truly interested.

@blogdiva

She is very convincing and seems sincere. The problem is that none of her passionate vision has been realized yet. To actually do so would be to give up actual user capture, and that is something a corporate network never does. So, in spite of the lovely rhetoric #bluesky is a liberal honey trap pure and simple, capturing twitter refugees in a place where they can be contained and marginalized at the turn of a dial.

“I would like to use Bluesky. They've done a bunch of seriously interesting technical work on #moderation and ranking that I truly admire, and I've got lots of friends there who really enjoy it.”

“My rule – I don't join a service that I can't leave without switching costs – is my Ulysses Pact, and it's keeping me #safe from danger I've sailed into too many times before.”

@msnbc @morning-joe-msnbc Reminder that leaving #twitter for #bluesky is akin to leaving russia for belarus.

Douchebag techbro billionaire owned socmedia are all the same. Trying the same thing, expecting different results is insanity.

let me tell you something…

what i have learned as a technologist in the last 30 years is that, in the United States, tech CEOs are hired to baldface lie and obfuscate, even gaslight, about their products because there are no consequences to doing so.

countries with huge markets like South Korea, Japan, Brasil, CEOs end in prison for lying about their products. not so here.

Jay Graeber was hired to lie, obfuscate & gaslight about #Bluesky

Funny to see #Meta / #Threads feeling the heat from #Bluesky. They've announced they're tweaking the For You page on Threads to show more from people you follow, in addition to custom feeds being rolled out (what Bluesky is so popular for).

Meta will do anything but let you just...follow only who you want.

Bridgy Fedは現在Fediverse→Blueskyへの転送を停止しているとのこと。現在Blueskyは昨今の急激なユーザー増加に対応するためにリレーを変更する作業を行っていて、Bridgy Fedのような野良PDSからのデータ取り込みを停止しているためみたい。

今のBlueskyは億単位のユーザー数も見えてきたしここで対策をすることにしたんだな。

What better way to illustrate that #Bluesky is not decentralized than by knowing that interoperation with the whole network can be unilaterally shut down?

Let's just make @bsky.brid.gy opt-out please. I have now had a situation where a person I want to follow has stopped posting on their Fedi account and moved on to Bluesky. This is ridiculous.

Stop flocking to #Bluesky everyone. It's just as much of a walled garden as #Twitter

I don't dislike the furries as a group (there are lots of decent swaths and a few golden ones--I especially like the cartoony funny-animal stuff especially) but.. then there's these morons that make the whole group skeevy and gross. Dude. Come on.
