Chris TrottierApparently the all-knowing Bluesky knows what's best for everybody and everything, and I have no right to criticize because I'm not making anything as cool and amazing as AT protocol.
These Bluesky Kool-Aid drinkers are too much.
cattoI dislike fanboyism.
I hated when Apple fanboys defended that incredibly awful butterfly keyboard.
I hated when Tesla fanboys dogpiled whenever questions the self-driving capabilities.
I hate it when someone claims the amazing Bluesky team is the arbiter of what makes for a good decentralized protocol.
Hell, I can't even stand it when Mastodon fanboys tell me that everything on the Fediverse should depend on Mastodon because it's "the standard".
Deus“This is the coolest thing ever.” Ugh! Try harder.

Beholden to none. How about people just not be fanbois or fangirls of anything. It never ends well in this fallible world of imperfect humans.

Jeff C. 🇺🇦🇬🇱@atomicpoet “I hated when Apple fanboys defended that incredibly awful butterfly keyboard.”
People defended that?
In the Apple fanboy media/blog/podcast ecosystem, at least, what felt like hundreds of hours were cumulatively spent excoriating Apple for it. They seemed pretty universally reviled or — at best — tolerated.
I’m arguably fanboy-adjacent and, honestly, those keyboards were awful.
@jeff There's Apple fans who know when the company goes wrong.
And then there's fanboys for which any criticism is seen as an attack on Apple. Boy, have I met quite a few of them in real life.
@atomicpoet Oh, yes, they certainly exist. That is for certain.
I may just be lucky, having not seen many defend the butterfly keyboard specifically. I’d just assumed it was so bad that even the fanboys could manage no better than silence. Looks like I was just lucky.
Not many plausible arguments in favor of a keyboard that frequently fails to type.
Sean@atomicpoet isn't bluesky centralized?
"For now, Bluesky has set up one main server that everyone is on, but in the future, people will be able to customize their own algorithms and feeds using Bluesky’s underlying technology."
When it transitions into a decentralized platform then it should be called that, but not a moment sooner
@Sean Right now, it is centralized until it federates.
Gabbo the wafrn dev guy@[email protected] will I have to implement ap in this hellhole of mine? who knows
