Do I remember correctly that there was some conversation around #Bluesky considering a native #ActivityPub support?

Interesting goings-on in the [ #Snarfed / #Bridgyfed ] #Github:
"Switch #Bluesky to opt out? (Issue #1471)"
This, from Peter Cottle (pcottle - Code monkey on Threads 🐵) who is actually a #Threads dev
"@snarfed thoughts on making a post on bluesky to solicit opinions? Maybe posting from the bridgy fed account + soliciting reposts?
I just want to know what the wider community thinks (even if there is some selection bias)"
The gist of the convo is whether to make Bluesky users opt-out of being bridged over to Mastodon, or continue as opt-in (each user makes their own personal choice)
In other words, will (new) Bluesky accounts automatically be OPTED-IN to being bridged over to Mastodon (possibly without their knowledge) or continue as OPT-IN: requiring a specific decision/action by new users

So about every other Home feed post is about #Bluesky which I have filtered out
"Show anyway"
OK, show me
Damn, man, if y'all are so hot for Bluesky why are you wasting your time here on #Mastodon?
Trying to pull people along with you to validate your own choice?
One thing about Bluesky that I've never understood is that it's only a web site
Given a web browser and a valid URL and you can go poke around to your heart's content and see if you can find what it is that's missing in your life
I spent about 30 minutes yesterday doing exactly this and came up empty
OK: you can't reply or 'like' or whatever they call it over there, but wander around and see if you can find what you're lacking in your life

#DhaagaUpdates v0.15.0 will be out tonight 🎉
I am excited to introduce Collections™!
Bookmark implementation in #mastodon is pretty weak.
And #bluesky does not even have bookmarks yet!
Also, unlike #misskey, there is no way to organise them into folders, for example.
With this update, #DhaagaApp will let you create bookmarks and organise them into collections for ANY #fediverse software.
The saved posts can be viewed anytime, offline from your device.
See you next release,
Deb
Three groundbreaking projects reshaping the social web through community fundraising:

📣 Mededeling voor algemeen nut:
Zondag had ik het er al over om mijn brug met #Bluesky op te blazen (https://todon.nl/@joenepraat/113936690089640731). Het moment is daar.
Ik kan het niet ethisch aan mijzelf verantwoorden om mijn content op een door durfkapitalisten, crypto-bro's en Zionisten beheerst sociaal medium rond te laten zingen. Ik had daar trouwens toch al amper interactie, compleet in tegenstelling tot Mastodon en de rest van de fediverse (1.738 volgers). Daarnaast passen Mastodon en andere fediverse-projecten beter binnen mijn ideologische kader. Namelijk anarchisme, waar het DIY-gehalte een belangrijk onderdeel van is.
Dus sorry voor die 31 volgers op Bluesky. Jullie zijn uiteraard welkom om mij op Mastodon, Pixelfed of waar dan ook in de fediverse te volgen.

Organizing on decentralized social networks (1 / N)
The Nexus of Privacy is planning a series of online discussions and video/phone calls focusing on organizing on decentralized social networks. There's a range of topics to cover, including looking at the tradeoffs between the different platforms for different use cases, brainstorming how organizers can leverage these platforms, easy ways to start exploring, and ways for groups to move as a whole.
https://privacy.thenexus.today/organizing-on-decentralized-social-networks/ has a CryptPad survey (as well as a link to a version using Google Forms if you prefer that)
Or if you prefer, here are a couple of polls along with open questions, that cover some of the key information
I opened a Bluesky account yesterday, and I don't think I've ever been repelled by a platform quite so quickly. The people I interacted with are fine, but the interface and experience are just so... *twitter.* After acclimating to Mastodon, there's just no going back for me. Thank you all for contributing to this amazing platform/community. 💜

Congrats to JD Vance for gaining 63,402 BLOCKS in the last 24 hours (and climbing) on Bluesky!
That currently puts the Vice President of the United States of America at the #2 most blocked account on the platform.
He'll probably reach #1 this weekend.
I know a lot of you still think of the #Fediverse as just “Mastodon”.
But it’s far more than that. There’s an entire ecosystem of federated message boards that’s already proven popular: #Piefed, #NodeBB, #Lemmy, #Mbin, and #Discourse.
Even the classics like #Friendica and #Hubzilla have solid forum features baked in.
If you’re only here for the microblogging, you’re missing a key piece. Communities built around interests are something #Twitter never offered, and #Bluesky still doesn’t.
So if you’re looking to replace your #Facebook Groups, the Fediverse already has you covered.
People ask: "Why the preoccupation with #Bluesky? Lots of good folks are going there and love it."
@Daojoan does a great job of providing the long answer in this brilliant piece: https://www.joanwestenberg.com/big-tech-wants-you-trapped-the-open-web-sets-you-free-2/
But the short answer is that, by funneling users onto another unsafe centralized corporate platform, #Bluesky inhibits the construction of truly defensible public social media.
So now, when something happens over on Bluesky, the Fedi will not be ready to absorb a rapid mass migration.

I just came across an article that says #Bluesky now supports uploading videos up to 3 minutes long.
Sorry for the extremely newbie question but I wonder what the impact would be on the hypotethical of a self-hosted relay?
In a phenomenal article from last year @cwebber wrote that running a relay in November 2024 required 5 TERABYTES of storage (https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky)... up from 1 TB in July 2024.
Does video make Bluesky decentralization / self-hosting a relay even more unattainable? 🤔

There isn't much of a presence for #mutualaid that I've seen on #Mastodon
There are others who post their needs here, but there's not a sense of #community
On #Instagram, #Threads & #Bluesky, there's a network of people sharing and supporting for each other
There's a sense of community without it being assumed it's simply about funds being sent
Of course funds can't come from nowhere
But here is the problem with this platform...
New: Fediverse Report #108
This week's news:
- Ghost's (@index) connection to the #fediverse is now availabe in public beta for Ghost Pro users, with both an #ActivityPub connection to send long-form posts into the fediverse, and a reader app to read/comment/interact with the fediverse
- @anewsocial , the organisation that manages the bridge between the fediverse and #bluesky shared their upcoming plans
While I was lying in the hammock yesterday (clicking on my iPhone), I started thinking about the current state of the "Twitter diaspora", the cross-posting, bridging and separation… and I ended up with this blog post 😅
TLDR: let's try to settle on the open networks, Bluesky & Fedi, let's connect them well, and let's move away from Twitter.
I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.
Just one is on #Sharkey (👋🏻 @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?

I don't know how they're doing this quoted post via #Bridgy . (See attached image.)
I tried quoting someone else's post and my own, but none worked.
