Can you site your sources?

Also, it’s so toxic yet he’s using the account still and bridged his fediverse account. If I encountered next level toxicity that’s not what I’d be doing

This person is a liar and just wants the Mastodon pat on the back. For some reason people on the fediverse can’t just enjoy their platforms and work to make them better. They have to lie about Bluesky and Nostr. I’ve been on Bluesky since the beginning. I’ve seen significantly more toxic people and content on fedi than I’ve ever have on Bluesky. People are happy to be away from X, they’re trying to promote a positive and supportive culture. There’s tonnes of minorities on Bluesky

What’s different about the fediverse? There’s mute lists, block lists, keyword filters, they have a third party company plus a trust and safety team. They’ve taken down plenty of accounts. So again what’s no moderation? What’s better moderation and tooling on fedi? I’ve seen CSAM on Mastodon yet not on Bluesky

Define decentralisation

Nos.social is one, there is https://github.com/atrifat/nostr-filter-relay amongst other tools integrated into some relays.

You said that like that’s been reality, I’m not going based on simply what’s possible but what’s happened when instances suddenly shutdown

If the same came be achieved why hasn’t it been? It is a matter of individualism. People often see instances as communities, I don’t agree with this assessment with the exception of coop and special interest instances.

But you weren’t discussing Twitter you were discussing Bluesky. They built it with decentralised identities so that users owned their identities and can move about freely. You saying people could “easily” move to another instance isn’t reality. People already find the Fediverse too difficult, as you and I discussed under a different thread people actually care about their data which also includes their posting history. Humans by nature do not like change. People complain about Mastodon.social being too big to block. So, if people that want to block mastodon.social due to what they believe is poor content moderation but feel they can’t because of its size how likely that people would find it “easy” to move to another instance ?

Same thing if some Billionaire purchased Mastodon.social & Mastodon.online. You’d have most of the fedi under their control

That’s not true it’s not entirely punted to the end user. It starts with the relay operators just like it does instances. All of the same moderation tools that users have on instances and with clients Nostr users have too, so I’m not really sure about that comment. Also, maybe it’s because I’m a US citizen but I don’t get what so problematic about individualism and allowing users the ability to drive their own experiences. You mention the keys that’s still under user control as if instances have not gone down with users identities, content and social graphs Usability worse than anything on AP that’s very broad. Go point for point with comparisons You can filter out any content related to Bitcoin.

What flaws?

What do you mean by “kind of see where they’re coming from”?

I don’t think there’s currently any platforms that do that but depending on what mobile and computing OS you use there’s client option

You say that but it’s a one year old play form and protocol, of course it is just Bluesky. The Fediverse existed long before Mastodon and Mastodon is 8 years old, so I don’t get your point. That still doesn’t touch upon the negative to tethering users identity to instances. Many of them have tried Mastodon and it was a poor experience for them. So, it’s not an option. The Fediverse isn’t for everyone and that is absolutely okay. People are hoping to leave and not use Twitter/X, they have good alternatives that suits their needs and that should be celebrated.

Yes, they opened federation a couple months ago and people are running their own PDS. It’s different from Twitter as people can own their identity, it’s only been out a little over a year, give it time dude. Mastodon is 8 years old. Blue sky has custom feeds over 40k of them made by various people, mute lists and block lists that are shareable and abled to be subscribed to, use identities are not tethered to instances, more controls of what they see and don’t see. You have a bunch of liberals and marginalised communities on there enjoying themselves. Why would go to Twitter?

They stopped calling it CP. As Porn is typically consensual and is typically what people think of when they think of Porn, they’re not thinking it’s two legal persons where one has not consented. Thus to avoid any confusion or possibility of downplaying its severity they changed the term from CP.

What makes you say that Kbin and Mbin have died out?

I think so too!

Haha no scam

Who said one instance? It’s a pod store by a pod provider, which there will be multiple pod providers. Please go research Solid. Even in the scenario of multiple accounts in multiple instances you don’t own nor control your data. With Solid you get to determine what access and how much access a provider & service has

Okay, that’s fair. I will point that out to the developer as English is not their primary language. But, you can read the very next paragraph in how does ActivityPods solve this to understand the context.
