How About Some AI With Your Bluesky?

A tale of two social networks.

Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.

Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

@mastodonmigration So glad I never created an account over there. Just as fucked up as the bird site

Create an account that you'll never use, just to occupy the namespace, and prevent impersonators from taking the handle.

@datenwolf @mastodonmigration @lawyersgunsnmoney it doesnt even matter. People who matter to you know on which platforms you are. The others do not matter. Stop thinking "exposure" and "fame". Think " friends".

@f4grx @datenwolf @mastodonmigration @lawyersgunsnmoney For me, the problem is that I had a group of "friends" on the bird site, 2/3 of whom went blue. I signed up for bridgy, but it didn't really help as I couldn't persuade folk there to sign up to bridgy too. I do wish the original bridgy "federation" proposal had stood!

@carusb @datenwolf @mastodonmigration @lawyersgunsnmoney I also lost some contacts on the bird site. That was sad, for a few months.
