Scuba divers gotta breathe (a mixture containing) oxygen

The danger (as they can see) are not selfhosters, but larger competitive instances. They don't allow AT servers of over 10 users and 1500 events a hour. This is clearly targeted to prevent large-scale instances (fediverse style) from being created.

How many bluesky users actually selfhost?

IMO, if you choose a common username (except for alt accounts) for all your platforms (in my case, dch82) it's fairly easy to find all the accounts. If you want to, you can also link your other platforms in the bio.

I don't actually mean it's EEE but that whatever they are doing feels similar; besides, with one big server controlled by a corporation in the centre of their ecosystem, they could "defederate" any rising AT-compatible competitor servers out of existence.

They might not now, but don't ever trust a company to not do this.

what are you talking about? bluesky isn't open source, the protocol is, and it reeks of embrace, extend, extinguish by branding itself as an open network

This is a follow-up from my previous thread.

The thread discussed the question of why people tend to choose proprietary microblogging platfroms (i.e. Bluesky or Threads) over the free and open source microblogging platform, Mastodon.

The reasons, summarised by @noodlejetski@lemm.ee are:

  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.

Now that we know why people move to proprietary microblogging platforms, we can also produce methods to counter this.

How do we get "normies" to adopt the Fediverse?

Fair enough, I will make another version shortly

EDIT: Solarized low-contrast versions are available; I think it would look much better!

A poster I made to promote the Fediverse.

The PDFs and the light version is on the Internet Archive.

This work is public domain, so feel free to do whatever you want with it; for example print it on a T-shirt!

EDIT: Low-contrast Solarized versions are now available!

No, AT is open source, not Bluesky

What made everybody move from a corporate social media platform to another corporate social media platform instead of the fediverse?

After all, the Fediverse and Activitypub is much more mature than Bluesky and the copycat AT protocol or Threads and ... whatever they use.

Just thinking, is the art style only symbolic of the universe or is everything actually like that in-universe?

I use Duckduckgo, but I realised these big(ish) search engines give me all the commercialised results. Duckduckgo has been going down the slope for years, but not at such a rate as Google or Bing has.

I want to have a search engine that gives me all the small blogs and personal sites.

Does something like this exist?
