Ai definitely can't replace many (if any) microsoft employees.

The tweet is fake.
I don't really think it being edited adds anything to the joke.

Admins can see who voted on what, as can moderators.
Instance admins would be less stretched out than reddit ones, since people are split across instances.
Instance admins also have motivation to remove them, as bots make money for reddit.

Regular accounts will not have all their posts/comments nuked from a certain point in time, and they'll have comments in non-political subs mixed in.

I know. I'm always surpised when I see screenshots here of people using it.

Everything is public, including votes.
Instance admins can notice if a lot of signups happen from a specific ip, email pattern or region.

No, xtrans is a component of xorg, iirc, the icon is recent.

Its easier to spot here, and since we're split up into small severs, its easier to moderate.

Works fine for me, try updating chrome.

What?

I'm coming back to this,

I think the self-hosting bit is a bit flawed, its almost entirely based on opinion.

For example, I'd have taken a lot of points from email as its all too easy to get blacklisted for doing everything right, and setting up everything is a pain. Cory Doctorow (Author and popular blogger) got on a spam-blocklist for self-hosting his newsletter, and it was an effort for him to get himself off it. It would be impossible for an average joe to get off a blocklist.

You can self-host old versions of reddit, I'd have given it a few points.

Self hosting a PDS is pretty popular, but the average PDS has less users than mastodon instances.

Its also not very poorly documented, hosting the official PDS is just running three commands: https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting#preparation-for-self-hosting-pds . they have a docker for it as well.

Maybe not bluesky itself, but there is lots of atproto AppViews (essentially clients) which do stuff. Would you classify frontpage.fyi as a client?

There is clients for bluesky itself anyway, graysky, deck[.]blue, AppViewLite, the official apps, deer[.]social gander[.]social tapestry, surf, phoenix (made by the people who made ivory), skeets (real app), bluejeans, off the top of my head.

I think the content share part doesn't really apply to bluesky since everything is portable, so if bsky disappeared, all content would still exist and be referenceable. Unlike AP based stuff, where everything is tied to its host server.

Also: hosting PDSes is piss easy, if there was demand for people to move to other servers, more PDSes would pop up.

xtrans is a real repo for the xorg thing, they changed the icon for it to a trans flag.

Instances are centralised, but the network isn't.

Yeah, it doesn't even have communities.

Yes, it is, but so is mastodon, if I curate my feed, I can exclude them from it.
this is about the technical aspects of bluesky/atproto.

I like both formats, but I do prefer forum-style conversation.

https://frontpage.fyi/ is a link-aggregator built on atproto.

Lemmy uses ActivityPub, so that can't really be done in line with the spec.

Bluesky would work better for that, since everything would be on the AppView. Hosting multiple appviews would be intensive on the relays, but different ones could keep content for different amounts of time.

I think AP works better when you don't need or want all the information to be available at once.

I use them interchanagbly, which has proved to be a mistake.
Kinda like how mastodon and fediverse are used interchangably.
