Bluesky's moderation team is shit. Recently, their "head of trust and safety" went full Elongated Muskrat and tried to permanently ban a user who was tracking his public data.

If anyone truly thought this group of techbros that was spearheaded and organized by Jack Dorsey was gonna somehow be different than the previous iterations, I've got a bridge to sell them. I mean, they owe millions to Blockchain Capital. Cryptobros. But sure, we just need to keep making more billionaires and then ditching their services after they have enough money to deeply influence politics.
Idiots acting like they're against people like Musk but they're just creating another one at a different company.

Told people already it's not as decentralized as people might believe or has being told to them. I will never join Bluesky.

Did anyone actually think it would be? It just had to be not Twitter. Mastodon would've been awesome but apparently the barrier for entry was more than the average person willing to accept.

Gonna be real, microblogging is never gonna really work with decentralization. It barely works when centralized. It's isolating by nature, and only really amplifies the voices that are already the loudest, and the introduction of separate servers and federation delays only make those problems worse.

Decentralization is is unobtainable. You have to have a source of truth. DNS has shown us the way, everyone else is fucking around.
Gotta have a trusted org to manage identities.

He was overreacting because the bot publicized that he had clicked like on a porn video.
His ban of the user was an attempt to cover up his mistake and thanks to the Streisand effect now we've got screenshots.
It's pretty freaking sad honestly.
If I did something like that at my job I would be looking for a new job. Not really sure why they haven't responded or dealt with that in any way.

this article doesnt even mention the biggest problem which is trust and safety throwing trans users under the bus to protect a serial harasser and paedophile apologist like jesse singal.

What's this?

Mastodon will still be there when this one burns down too
Hopefully the Mastodon devs are paying attention to the features that bsky has that they don't, and actually copy them rather than sit there and tell everyone that no, they're wrong they don't want that feature.
I want to like Mastodon (or any platforms that are federated with them and trying very hard to be them) but they're utter and total lack of interest in and development of features the community keeps asking for is going to keep it a niche option for weirdos while people keep hopping into corpo social platform after corpo social platform.
The mastodon developers are us.
It's open source so yeah...my PRS are part of the community. And so are yours. And projects like GoToSocial make it seemless if someone wants to implement the same protocol in a slightly different way.
True, but unless they have a solution to the bot problem blsky is having and reddit has...
They won't fair any better...
fare*
Mastodon would only get that problem if it became as big as Bluesky or reddit.
More moderators and admins
If Bluesky goes, Lemmy will be my permanent home
It won't go. At least not in the near future. They're just growing. And that comes with consequences. The article says they're at it. And doing a good job.
