Have you ever heard of the term federation-washing?

      You mean the Dorsey-endorsed crypto platform that has spam waves conducted against Bluesky and ActivityPub?

      the speed with which you encounter your first nazi on nostr is not indicative of a system worth spending time on

    it’s not yet federated properly, or would not be completely, but it’s still a good player in the game for now. I’ll advocate against it if shareholders start shenanigans.

      I mean, they will. It’s inevitable. So why bother? BlueSky also ultimately retains the final word on moderation as well.

    Bluesky didn’t have a strong of a hold on me, tried it, wasn’t impressed with what was there before deleting the account. Getting too burned out on social media in general to really be invested in these kinds of platforms. The fediverse is more or less my last rodeo.

    My $0.02 from extensive cryptocurrency experience:

    A centralized project with a user base never becomes decentralized later. It’s always a lie to get users quickly. Centralization generally just gets worse.

    I think BlueSky will keep half-assing decentralization until their owners decide that narrative is no longer necessary.

    I had a nice little profile on there until about a month ago. I didn’t delete when I saw AI spammers join. And I kept my profile even when the mods were starting to become reddit-ish. What sent me over the edge was when they announced a partnership with an AI company who said they were “just there to beef up security”. Yeah, no, not for me. Super sad, too, because Bluesky is a good idea, but I’m sticking with the fediverse.
