@FluffyDeveloper oh wait what? That's... not good!

Tbh, I still don't really know what BlueSky is, but I've seen that name often.

@SteffoSpieler It's another social media network created by the same people who backed Twitter and Nostr. Instead of going with ActivityPub however, they decided to make their own VC-backed protocol called AT.

The protocol itself is not too bad, but its controlled by private companies and BlueSky has decided to basically avoid moderation and offload everything to AI labelling.

In short: it's decentralised Twitter with venture capitalists trying to control their own fediverse :/

@FluffyDeveloper
that is really Shity so instead of integrating activity pub they made their own protocol to control their own fediverse that's not really a fediverse at that point that's more of a blue sky verse lol

but since the code is open source can somebody just yank it and just integrate activity pub and make a better site?

@epicEaston197 Yep!

And instead of doing actual moderation they just use AI to label content and leave users to fend for themselves.

At that point you might as well use ActivityPub with Mastodon, Calckey, or other. Even removing the AI labeling from other instances (if they are ever allowed) may not do much because that content will eventually make its way into the original main instance.
