THIS IS MADNESS

you know how people have traditionally created custom feeds of information from the web? using apps that parse RSS & ATOM files.

🗣YOU DO NOT NEED TO CODE TO USE RSS

Bluesky is the one supposed to do the coding, not users.

there is absolutely no justification nor rationalization for using #Bluesky. NONE WHATSOEVER. Bluesky is the “gentler, kindler” #nazi bar that will burn down whole forests, dry up all rivers instead of using open web standards.

@blogdiva Walled garden architects only want to build walled gardens. That doesn't surprise me.

What surprises me is that folks will repeatedly run from one burning walled garden to *another* walled garden, hoping that *this* time the fire can't follow while taking shelter in another tinderbox.

Not saying Fedi is the solution, mind. We have *problems* here. But auntie there has GOT to be a way to get folk to see that "platforms" are chains.

@blogdiva every day the internet chooses to opt for newsletters, apps, and browser notifications instead of RSS is a day i go a little more insane.
@mothwaves It just makes me want to read actual books more. It seems like "the internet" has some kind of compulsion to complicate functionality *because it can*. @blogdiva
@blogdiva we did kinda predict they would go rotten, and this is accelerating fast. Wonder when the mainstream will turn away from the mess.
@blogdiva
When are they changing the name to Whitesky
@saucerlost @blogdiva surely they'll make a lot of noise about how they would NOT do it because they're so blue-collar and down to not sky
