My dumb ass thought this would be a weather client replacing DarkSky
Shadow Weather is probably as close as you're doing to get there, I think.
I prefer Weather today as it has apple Weather Kit and it's android native, not flutter
@independantiste @ArghZombies I honestly don't care what it is as long as it follows material design 3 and has material you support.
It technically can be if subscribing to a weather outlet...
i really like breezy weather, it looks great and is open source
This would be great if everyone wasn't waiting months for an invite
Exactly. It's still invite only, so bluesky really feels like a bit of a non-starter.
Got an invite code yesterday and i couldn't stay more than 5 minutes is as i didn't any content that interests me
What interests you? Did you search the feeds?
Wow do they still have a single server only?? Where is the federation?????
Bsky.social isn't federated yet, but they do have a federation sandbox for developers. I don't think they want to put federation into the production server just yet.
IIRC there's also servers waiting for federation, I've heard there's a Russian Atproto server.
From the article 'Rather, explains Newman, Bluesky was appealing because itβs simply a better Twitter.'
Can someone explain this to me? The article does not. It all seems like garbage to me, vanilla swirl maybe instead of straight vanilla, but still tastes like crap. This release is specifically not decentralized.
Dorsey is a shitbag, always has been, why is this better?
It's still big tech
At least for normal non-tech oriented people it is a Twitter without Elon Musk. Which I suppose is an improvement despite it still being Jack Dorsey.
I think it will be important to see how it is potentially monetized. If they can find some way to stay alive without going down the enshitification rabbit hole with ads and prioritized posts with paid subscriptions like Twitter then that would also be an improvement in my opinion.
The protocol (AT Protocol) is what's decentralised, which is separate(ish) to BlueSky the social network.
are there any other instances using AT protocol?
A fair few, but as it's still being developed there's not many stable uses. You can check some of them out here:
It appears that there will be no ads and the only monetization is for advanced features. Assuming that actually is true that is a respectable way to monetize something.
Thanks to centralization that can change at any moment and people can't do anything about it. We learned that from Twitter and Reddit and others.
At least personally I can just leave. It's interesting that so many people get so entrenched in a service that they can't go without it.
Is their federation still vapourware?
vaΒ·porΒ·ware
software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed.
So, yes
Well I wish it runs better than the official app because that is atrocious compared to the mastodon or even the twitter app.
The latest Mastodon app is great.
Which Mastadon app? I've seen a couple. The official one? I also heard Tusky was good.
I don't know why they made it difficult for people to create custom feeds
My main gripe with it is that it seems to be just another React Native app just like the main app. So it doesn't really seem that much better.
