BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization https://rys.io/en/167.html

so short

Dan has mentioned some time ago that he was thinking about making the videos delete themselves after some time, but I’m not sure if he ever followed up with that.

Bluesky is FOSS

pretty sure it isn’t.

1. marketing
2. not having to pick the instance when registering
3. people who have experienced Mastodon’s hermetic culture discouraging others from joining
4. algorithms helping discover people and content to follow
5. marketing

and I’m saying that as a firm Mastodon user and believer.

yes I have. it’s just not my thing, thank you very much.

Podcasts are a last bastion of mainstream web freedom.

yes, I’m well aware of that, but it still doesn’t change the fact that I just don’t listen to them - especially when an episode is an hour long.

oh neat, we mainstream now

not related because I don’t listen to hour long podcast episodes, but I’ve been thinking for ages how someone like MKBHD hosting their own Mastodon instance could really solidify the Fediverse’s presence. I bet a big chunk of his audience would be willing to spend a dollar in order to get an @mkbhd.com or @matteblack.com or @24fps.com or whatever handle, too.

could’ve just read the first two paragraphs.

if you fill in your Matrix handle in your profile settings and so does the person who wants to contact you, the private messages between the two of you will use Matrix.

looks like the code is still being worked on on Forgejo, but apart from that there doesn’t seem to be any presence established. looks like Iceshrimp is a fork of it: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp.net

and it’s a part of Fediverse, so you can follow the blogs from your Mastodon account. and I think a reply from Mastodon will show up as a comment under the post.

there was no direct download

…huh? I just opened Moshidon and grabbed the first image that popped up on my timeline.

whoa, I installed Android Studio, did all that, waited a bunch and it… worked? just like that? is that what you computer people do with computers at work? do I apply for a six figure job now?

Shame you can’t try.before you buy

or at least buy it outside Play Store.

I resent my experience being made worse by reading this
