We have a moose that goes on trips with us. I recently made a tiny 3D printed version that we call his “drones”. They go on the bike rides, hikes, etc.

So, a fraudster.

No I’m not, you’re just hot-swapping between ATProto and BlueSky, cherry picking the best parts of whichever to suit the debate. See: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47335289/19626444

Sure seems like that’s what you’re doing. Notice how no one is against ATProto. Your post title is about BlueSky, not about ATProto.

We don’t care about the protocol, despite what you think. Your average Lemmy user isn’t on a standards body. We care about the network it facilitates.

Volunteers run the Fediverse, keeping it open. The former Twitter CEO runs BlyeSky. Want to start an actual open network running ATProto? Go for it.

Mastodon is more open than you think.

You made a post to attempt to dispell what you consider a misunderstanding about BlueSky, yet your comment suggests you dont understand the Fediverse.

Well, that problem also exists with mastodon.social

No, it doesn’t. There are thousands of instances, some with hundreds of thousands of users. If you sort the instance list by active users, the population spreads out even more, because smaller instances have more active users.

and a lot of the actual fediverse.

Wrong again. Lemmy.world is about 30% of Lemmy, and less when you include Mbin, PieFed, etc.

Its less distributed, but its still decentralised.

I run a Fedi instance connected to hundreds of others. If one, even a large one, defederates me, it does not cut me off. If I ran a PDS, I’d be connected to BlueSky, and they can do what they want.

You are rationalizing this to yourself because you like BlueSky.

Still is. Always will be.

Beer in the US is too cold. That is the crime here.

Hardcore? Reddit abd Twittter are full of bots and garbage, how does avoiding that make anyone hardcore? I think “more well informed” is the phrase you are looking for.

As much as I hate to link it, there’s more info on the old Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalRenaissance/comments/1jl5j2i/preelection_for_mayor_in_são_paulo_brazil/

Lots more pictures, but specifically:

This is from 2016, during the primary elections for mayor of São Paulo, the supporters of 2 candidates raided a polling place and harassed a woman working there, because they believed electoral fraud was being committed by hired supporters of the third candidate billionaire João Doria, who would proceed to win the primaries, the mayoral race, and then give up the job half way through his term to run for governor, which he also won, also supposedly through monetary means. Eventually he gave up his political career, after managing to essentially destroy what was the countries second or third largest political party. He was the governor that best dealt with the pandemic in the country, but he was still such a colossal Elon that his party essentially dissolved from sheer cringe.

Yea, this meme is an overall sentiment, but the church members that participate in missions are rarely the ones against immigration (from my limited experience, anyway).

Lemm.ee is shutting down. The Fediverse still exists.

If Reddit shuts down, welp.

But the conversation is unique in each community. And each community may not have federated to every instance. This is the Fediverse, not a single site with sub communities.

I do think it would be nice if a client/backend could:

• Take any cross-post link from the main post
• Query any description/comments for cross posts
• Add to the currently displayed comments
• Tack on descriptions as comment blocks with an @ to the cross posting OP to the displayed description
• Mark cross-posts as read when main is read

This would be easier in Lemmy, but could be done with a client, Thunder might be interested.

These were all cross posts. Use a different client.

While I hate paywalls, too, I encourage everyone to click the link anyway.

Every time you use an archive link, you are one less metric in the voice of telling these sites what you want to read.

Firefox Reader Mode works just fine for most pay walls, including this one, while still registering the metric for a conversion.
