fubarxBluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down
Delusion6903That’s all the talk so far? It feels like a bad sign to me when power starts moving from the true believers to the VCs.
UlrichIt was always going to be this way. It didn’t take long to see the signs of enshittification on BSky. They were subpoenaed for user info, they banned journalists, implemented age verification, and I left when they started adding link redirects and tracking.
They banned journalists? Who?
And I didn’t know about the redirects and tracking either. They are doing that without ads?

Don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself. Open any link and the link you clicked is hijacked back to a BSky domain.
Bluesky, censorship and country-based moderation
This week, Bluesky hid accounts in for users in Turkey after a government order. I take a closer look at government censorship and ATProto, how geographic moderation labelers work, and the impact on the future of decentralised social networks.
I guess I don’t care that much at this point but I’m out as soon as I see the first ad.
Why wait? Why continue contributing value and investing in the platform? The longer you wait, the harder it becomes.
I’m easily out if they screw it up, I’m in the fediverse at least as much as there. So far, I’m OK with them and I want to see what happens with this protocol. Mastodon needs some work too.
I agree. You don’t have to convince me. I’ve been on mastodon for almost 8 years and it gets better every day.
