The past two nights I wrote a "thread reader app" for BlueSky.
The protocol is absolutely insane.
There's no privacy. And I don't mean missing DMs.
All your posts are available through API endpoints. Without any authentication. By design.
The "invite-only" thing may have you think otherwise.
Here are my last 100 posts.
Quite a few people sure were surprised to learn that all their posts can be read without a BlueSky account. Especially those who fled Xitter to be a bit more sheltered from harassers and nazis.
Welp.
For all its faults, Mastodon is the better platform for people who care about having control over their data. It's definitely not perfect in that regard either, but at least it tries.
Also, it has GIFs and videos and polls. Based on BlueSky's dev velocity, they'll have that sometime 2032.
@badlogic 100 Jahre Einsamkeit für ehemalige Twitteranten; für Lautsprecher, PR-Gesocks aus Politblasen, der Industrie, Trollarmeen, Psychotikern & Faschisten.
Man sieht erst jetzt wieder angesichts der Zivilität im Fediverse, in welch beschissenen proprietären Sauhaufen diese sogenannten "Entrepreneurs" unser Netz transformiert haben.
@pkreissel You literally go to toilet every day so I don’t get how it is even a requirement to have walls or a room for that even when you can just take a dump on the street for all to see anyway, what’s the big deal.
No. My data, my rules.
Sorry! Just an inappropriate troll comment. Ignore it. I had to laugh spontaneously while reading your post because I had to think of this picture excerpt. (Pieter Bruegel the Elder - Children's Games, 1560).
But they didn't have the internet back then. That's why the peeing girl remained anonymous ;-)
@pkreissel @rolle Except that you actually read the delivery parts of the spec, you'd know that's false for follower-only posts and for most unlisted posts.
And even public posts are only delivered to instances your instance knows about.
Most discovery centers around having at least one subscriber to a user on the other instance, without which no federation between the two happens.
And usually (implementation-dependent) only the specific followed's posts get federated then, not every user's.
you CAN broadcast to the entire internet if you want, but on Mastodon, you don’t HAVE to. You can limit the visibility of your posts, and many do.
@pkreissel @rolle he said control over your data.
See my other reply.
it's possible to actually reach your admins, and if you don't trust them after some time - it's possible to migrate your account.
Likely one day you'll be able to bring your posts, too.
In general - Mastodon is developed with a lot more privacy in mind because the main intent isn't to create profits from processing your data.
Twitter/X specific - tweets and your profile are always public unless you set the account to private or post DMs only.
The content of your tweets (regardless of private/DM) is processed for a variety of purposes including marketing, ad display and - after recent ToS / Privacy changes - things like AI model training using the full text and any images shared.
There's no comparable data privacy like Mastodon offers where a message can be public (public timeline, you can see it without a login - aka twitter default), unlisted (does not appear on any public timeline), followers-only (self explanatory) or direct/private (only the person messaged). By default toots and user profiles are also neither indexed nor publicly searchable unless you opt in to that.
And not have to cope with scammer elon's brainfarts.
Hm, I can see your posts if I'm not logged in.

The same with twitter. Here a random post from twitter:

Do I get something wrong? What's the difference with Bluesky?

Ok, if there is a different API for Mastodon... But actually you could also access posts via http programmatically, so that does not protect your privacy at all, I guess.
@becomethewaifu yeah, it's not great.
There's a service that actually ranks the most blocked bsky users.
@spiritedpause I'm not at the receiving end of harassement, so I can't say.
But I do know that those who are aren't happy about their "friends" being able to read what they write on supposedly "account locked" BlueSky.
@badlogic There are also many people who would love their posts to be openly readable - communicators of science, emergency info, & many more. This was the case with Twitter pre-Musk: anyone could read all posts using a profile or hashtag URL. Seeing many of these posts disappear to walled gardens is a shame/ scary, but many are uncomfortable here & value WYSIWYG ease-of-use... can we read their #Bluesky posts in original format? #RSS?
On the site https://bluestream.deno.dev/ there is a tool to generate a #RSSfeed for #Bluesky accounts if you know a user handle. This is possible without being logged in to Bluesky.
@holger_moller Thank you! I also now see that we can set up feed descriptions in RSS directly with a URL in this format:
https://bluestream.deno.dev/trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social
@trishgreenhalgh fyi! RSS works very well with blogposts, not so well suited here with all the replies... better than nothing but I'd much rather you continue to post here on the #Fediverse, where everyone can read, at least for substantive messages?
Two screenshots to compare the RSS feed from the Bluesky walled garden (via Bluestream) with the more useful one from Mastodon. One issue is how the feed describes each post (could this be improved?). The bigger one is that the web link for a Mastodon post may be viewed by anyone, to see context of thread and replies, without registration... whereas the web link for a Bluesky post hits the wall.

@holger_moller @trishgreenhalgh
At Twitter you *CAN* set your profile private. And many users have done that when they got into a shitstorm. At Mastodon instance admins could make the network private (=it is technically possible), so that only people with account can read anything. At Bluesky (any system using the AT protocol) the only way to make anything private is to disconnect all servers from the internet.
https://firesky.tv/ has been running a searchable live stream for a few months. It's bizarre to me that they're not making it clearer that the login wall is purely cosmetic.
