  • Bluesky federation goes live

  • This is pretty standard online though - even regular Google has settings like "Safe Search:On" that you can toggle to moderate your search results.

    It really just depends on what the default settings are when you arrive at a service before you start using it, and how obvious and discoverable you make those settings controls.

  • Well, that's the whole point of the whole thing. Bluesky is built on the AT Protocol, which will be federated early this year. https://bsky.social/about/blog/11-15-2023-toward-federation

    I know everyone likes to shit on all Social Media that isn't called Mastodon, but that doesn't mean Mastodon is the only option. I am on both (and Twitter a bit still too) but Bluesky is where I spend most of my time.

  • I like it over there. Of all the Twitter alternatives I think it ticks the right boxes.

    • Decentralised
    • Low barrier to sign up
    • Not owned by a crazed billionaire
    • No ads
    • No popularity algorithm
    • Interesting features, like custom feeds and moderation lists

    If they can bridge their AT Protocol with ActivityPub then I don't see why it can't take off.

  • It's like the text version of Pinterest.

  • UK government announces Industry Transparency Code on Music Streaming

    Jump

  • Honestly, I'm so jaded with this government that I just assume anything they announce is either just a disraction away from whatever ghastly thing they're really doing or it's some culturewar bait to stir up trouble.

  • Bluesky posts are finally open to the public

  • Mastodon is great if you want a social media site that'll have people shout at you for not putting a Content Warning on a post about you eating a ham sandwich.
