Um what? The hate for JKR is quite active on bsky. OP smoking crack; we hate that bitch.

[–] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 17 minutes ago

Jessie gender got their account suspended because they said they wish ill to JKR. Was like the most polite insults you could say lol

[–] v01dworks@piefed.social 11 points 7 hours ago

Yeah I’ve never seen anyone on Bsky say anything remotely positive about her

Or even neutral lol

[–] Nadru@lemmy.world 32 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

We told them not to use Bluesky and what will eventually happen but they didn't want to listen

[–] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 16 points 10 hours ago

They literally made tons of account on mastodon just to ignore them for this fucking bootleg of it, called bsky

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 hours ago

I have a bluesky account on an alternate server, so they can't ban me for wishing ill on JK Rowling, even if they wanted to.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

I wish JK Rowling's brain turns into a mush

Oh wait that already happens

This is why decentralisation is important. I assume the poster has no way to change Bluesky sites?

Like this is why they should join a Fediverse instance. Like blahaj.zone will probably suit them

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 31 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

No matter what people say about Bluesky, I will always say we should be using mastodon, until Bluesky makes good on true federation, it's still a platform that can be controlled.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

It did make good on true federation.

[–] monogram@feddit.nl 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It didn’t, bluesy made it able to selfhost your posts to keep their hosting costs down

All the pros of federation and being able to self host an instance don’t exist on Bluesy so why would you?

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

No. Their hosting costs would be the same regardless of how many people self host.

You get all the benefits of self hosting from appviews.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 10 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Isn't their federation really fucking weird though? Like you can't run a federated server unless you're capable of handling 100% of all the posts on the entire platform? That's a pretty huge barrier, and one could argue it's less "federation" and more "mirroring".

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Personally, its as simple as the ATProtocol is hard connected to Bluesky full stop. If Bluesky goes under, then AT will definitely suffer or fail.

The fediverse (AKA ActivityPub) is not reliant on just one entity, its many many entities implementing the same protocol. So its MUCH more resilient than AT.

But the good news is that we don't need to choose, as long as AP and AT both exist and keep going its going to be fine. The only issue becomes if services start only using AT over AP. Then we get a Microsoft situation where embrace extend extinguish occurs and we all become reliant on one not so benevolent corporation.

Im still going to root for the more open source protocol for the above reasons.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Both protocols are open source.
At can exist without bluesky, but most people are on it. I wouldn't say it's "hard connected" to it.
Also: there are various implementations of Atproto.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Lets agree to disagree.

Ive seen many times where the company behind a tech goes under and the tech suffers because of it. And AT seems to be hard connected to Bluesky given the wikipedia article and the codebase that I have seen. But having competing services is not necessarily a bad thing. It can mean they can both learn from one another (like yarn and npm did a long time ago) and we get a better service. I dont necessarily want AT to fail, but I do want them to become MUCH more distant to Bluesky.

And they have the most risk to become Enshittied given the crypto/investors/millionaires involved with BlueSky.

Ill still be supporting AP with my development time since its easier for me to stand up and work with.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 46 minutes ago

If mastodon disappeared tomorrow it would be chaos. Loads of servers would shut down, and the rest would switch to a fork.
It would do irreapable damage to the fediverse, since mastodon basically controls the spec (the w3 thing is more of a collection of suggestions).

AT is infinietly easier to work with as well.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

No. Their federation does differ from the fediverse's, essentially, people have PDSes (personal data servers) which are just dumb datastores. These store data like your posts, likes, follows and blocks publicly.

AppViews are the other part, these take the data from PDSes and index it, and sort out interactions/notifications.

AppViewLite, for example, can be self hosted on any computer, and can be set to only take posts from select users, and discard posts after a while.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Is this federation, though? I've always thought of federation as a technical description of a platform's network topology, that it is several nodes communicating with one another to provide an overall platform.

Like, an AppViewLite is basically analogous to a Nostr replay and no one describes Nostr as federated.

A more interesting conversation is whether grafting federation onto Bluesky is worth the effort. If indexing the network can be done for a reasonable price, which it seems to be, then I don't see why people would put in the effort. If an app view/relay goes bad then you can just switch and get mostly the same experience.

I still believe that the ActivityPub solution of the multi stakeholder platform is a better direction, but I don't think the Bluesky idea of super easy migration should be dismissed out of hand like it so often is on this side of the conversation.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's still federation. It's just pull-based rather than push based.
Bluesky was made to be a decentralised twitter from the beginning.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Meh, I still don't see it as federation, but that might just be me projecting my own definition. Like, if we accept that bsky is federated then that would mean Bing is federated, just for arbitrary HTML rather than predetermined JSON.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago

It depends on your definition of federation.

It's defined as: "A system where various entities collaborate and share resources".

Nodes definitely collaborate, and resources (data) is shared.

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 52 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I hope JK Rowling gets everything she deserves out of life. I hope life treats her as she does others. I wish upon her the consequences of her actions and words.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 27 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

lol. She’s rich and safe. Stop stressing yourself out about every little thing and go firebomb an health insurance office in her name.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 73 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

I also wish ill to JK Rowling.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago

I just did so on Bluesky. With a "may she rot in hell" cherry on top.

They can suspend me forever for all I care.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 13 points 14 hours ago

JK can Rot in Piss for all I care.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 18 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I hope she gets Parkinson's and cant write anymore.

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 14 points 14 hours ago (9 children)

Have you read Harry Potter? It's not like she can write as It is.

The bird site was broken before the psycho took over. Just brought the same shit to the new site.

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 15 hours ago
