  • Bluesky Might End Up Defeating Twitter Once and for All

    Jump

  • Bluesky grew out of a project at twitter whose goal was to create a federated protocol. Then when they were split off from twitter when Musk took over they had to start their own twitter-style platform to be the first player in that federated protocol. Now that that part is running they're gradually building out the originally planned system of allowing more servers to be part of the federation: https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/federation-architecture

  • That would be great - much better than the current situation where twitter is run like a right-wing site but still has people from across the political spectrum hanging out there due to inertia.

  • That's where the federated angle comes in. Not quite there yet, but as the network grows the vulnerability to the original node getting taken over by a bad actor lessens.

  • Haha there is a gigantic wave of people switching over from twitter right now, that's just what is on people's minds. The conversation will move on soon enough.

  • Liz Cheney Was an Electoral Fiasco for Kamala Harris

    Jump

  • A lot of people are like "if someone as evil as Cheney is endorsing Harris that's not a good sign, and if Harris is actively bringing her on stage and talking about how great she is that's DEFINITELY not a good sign"

  • Can anyone really be so dumb as to see people who Trump himself appointed to office and worked closely with saying "this guy is an evil wannabe dictator" and think "man, those guys are part of the deep state conspiracy to destroy Trump"?

  • New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers

  • Wow that is outrageous. Hopefully there are still sideloading ereaders on the market by the time my current one dies, I don't want to have to go search for one on ebay.

  • Why are Democrats tarred as elites when the world’s richest man funds Trump?

    Jump

  • Because rich Republicans also own the media.

  • Why I ditched Twitter for Bluesky - and hope you will, too!

  • Yeah it really makes Mastodon unusable as the "one big forum" that twitter was and bluesky is trying to be.

  • I mean, Mastodon is a joke if that's what you're asking

  • Bluesky is just a lot better. I have no particular commitment to the ActivityPub protocol.

  • Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox

    Jump

  • Sadly Mozilla is not immune to following the dumb fads that run through Silicon Valley, but Firefox is still clearly the best browser option.

  • Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp

    Jump

  • The trouble is we end up having to install both when we could be only using Signal
