Bluesky says that: “Never lose access to your followers or data.”
However, I don’t think that’s true. Can someone confirm?
Even in a scenario where there are multiple Relay/AppView/Labeler services, if you move to a different service:
• You can only follow a user if their PDS is crawled by your service.
• A user can only follow you if your PDS is crawled by their service.
@rauschma bluesky is broken by design. it only purpose is to subvert the fediverse. to sell a narrative and dont delive it so you can later capture and monetize.
bluesky will enshittify and is a lesson to those who are still to naive despite the obvious facts.
some ppl only learn when life teaches lessons, but we can spread the news so some can wake up before they sink more time into those dead ends
@serapath From what I know about Bluesky’s team, I believe that their intentions are good.
But, eventually, they’ll have to make money.
Upside: People have moved once (from Twitter to Bluesky). Moving again is going to be much easier and the Fediverse isn’t going anywhere.
Potential downside of ActivityPub: I don’t know how well it scales—e.g., could it handle Taylor Swift?
Update (see reply): Yes it could.
@rauschma from what i know, i believe they have bad intentions.
they want fame and money foremost and a nice image and dont care otherwise.
i saw that with beaker browser and i saw it with others on the team working for who offers he monies. ...sure there are worse folks? but thats why things work so well. the folks working for bluesky have this "nice image" and are willing to collude, thus - why its working for them and investors.
...the worst
