I also wish ill to JK Rowling.
I just did so on Bluesky. With a “may she rot in hell” cherry on top.
They can suspend me forever for all I care.
I hope JK Rowling gets everything she deserves out of life. I hope life treats her as she does others. I wish upon her the consequences of her actions and words.
lol. She’s rich and safe. Stop stressing yourself out about every little thing and go firebomb an health insurance office in her name.
We told them not to use Bluesky and what will eventually happen but they didn’t want to listen
They literally made tons of account on mastodon just to ignore them for this fucking bootleg of it, called bsky
I have a bluesky account on an alternate server, so they can’t ban me for wishing ill on JK Rowling, even if they wanted to.
Um what? The hate for JKR is quite active on bsky. OP smoking crack; we hate that bitch.
Jessie gender got their account suspended because they said they wish ill to JKR. Was like the most polite insults you could say lol
The mods walked that back right away.
Yeah I’ve never seen anyone on Bsky say anything remotely positive about her
Or even neutral lol

It did make good on true federation.
Isn’t their federation really fucking weird though? Like you can’t run a federated server unless you’re capable of handling 100% of all the posts on the entire platform? That’s a pretty huge barrier, and one could argue it’s less “federation” and more “mirroring”.
No. Their federation does differ from the fediverse’s, essentially, people have PDSes (personal data servers) which are just dumb datastores. These store data like your posts, likes, follows and blocks publicly.
AppViews are the other part, these take the data from PDSes and index it, and sort out interactions/notifications.
AppViewLite, for example, can be self hosted on any computer, and can be set to only take posts from select users, and discard posts after a while.
Is this federation, though? I’ve always thought of federation as a technical description of a platform’s network topology, that it is several nodes communicating with one another to provide an overall platform.
Like, an AppViewLite is basically analogous to a Nostr replay and no one describes Nostr as federated.
A more interesting conversation is whether grafting federation onto Bluesky is worth the effort. If indexing the network can be done for a reasonable price, which it seems to be, then I don’t see why people would put in the effort. If an app view/relay goes bad then you can just switch and get mostly the same experience.
I still believe that the ActivityPub solution of the multi stakeholder platform is a better direction, but I don’t think the Bluesky idea of super easy migration should be dismissed out of hand like it so often is on this side of the conversation.
Yeah, it’s still federation. It’s just pull-based rather than push based.
Bluesky was made to be a decentralised twitter from the beginning.Meh, I still don’t see it as federation, but that might just be me projecting my own definition. Like, if we accept that bsky is federated then that would mean Bing is federated, just for arbitrary HTML rather than predetermined JSON.
It depends on your definition of federation.
It’s defined as: “A system where various entities collaborate and share resources”.
Nodes definitely collaborate, and resources (data) is shared.
Personally, its as simple as the ATProtocol is hard connected to Bluesky full stop. If Bluesky goes under, then AT will definitely suffer or fail.
The fediverse (AKA ActivityPub) is not reliant on just one entity, its many many entities implementing the same protocol. So its MUCH more resilient than AT.
But the good news is that we don’t need to choose, as long as AP and AT both exist and keep going its going to be fine. The only issue becomes if services start only using AT over AP. Then we get a Microsoft situation where embrace extend extinguish occurs and we all become reliant on one not so benevolent corporation.
Im still going to root for the more open source protocol for the above reasons.
Do you mean it’s reliant in some sort of technical way, or just that it is currently so dominated by BS that it’s hard to meaningfully separate the protocol from the platform in practice? Kinda like if ML was 90% of the Lemmy market share?
Both protocols are open source.
At can exist without bluesky, but most people are on it. I wouldn’t say it’s “hard connected” to it.
Also: there are various implementations of Atproto.Lets agree to disagree.
Ive seen many times where the company behind a tech goes under and the tech suffers because of it. And AT seems to be hard connected to Bluesky given the wikipedia article and the codebase that I have seen. But having competing services is not necessarily a bad thing. It can mean they can both learn from one another (like yarn and npm did a long time ago) and we get a better service. I dont necessarily want AT to fail, but I do want them to become MUCH more distant to Bluesky.
And they have the most risk to become Enshittied given the crypto/investors/millionaires involved with BlueSky.
Ill still be supporting AP with my development time since its easier for me to stand up and work with.
If mastodon disappeared tomorrow it would be chaos. Loads of servers would shut down, and the rest would switch to a fork.
It would do irreapable damage to the fediverse, since mastodon basically controls the spec (the w3 thing is more of a collection of suggestions).AT is infinietly easier to work with as well.
Again as a Dev, I have to disagree.
How can mastodon disappear? By definition, its on open platforms and self hosted solutions. It cant. And we are using the spec to talk right now.
And as a Dev AT really isn’t easier to work with. I’ve tried hooking it up multiple times and while I can do it, its such a pain. And debug is pretty terrible experience. But its a an opinion on both sides.
You seem very invested in the protocol. Why if I may ask?

No. Their hosting costs would be the same regardless of how many people self host.
You get all the benefits of self hosting from appviews.

No. On app.wafrn.net (fedi/bluesky tumblr clone) they have no control.
deleted by creator
app.wafrn.net does use bluesky’s relay, but they can switch to another one (like atproto.africa).
Hosting relays has gotten cheaper, it’s only about $34 a month now.
The bird site was broken before the psycho took over. Just brought the same shit to the new site.
JK can Rot in Piss for all I care.

Wishing someone bad fortune is not wishing harm.
Removed by mod
No they’re not? Wanting the next Harry Potter thing to flop and her lose a bunch of money is wishing misfortune, but it’s hardly wishing harm.
Well it’s one thing to specify you’re wishing harm to her finances. But saying you wish someone ill without specifying absolutely implies wishing them harm.
But saying you wish someone ill without specifying absolutely implies wishing them harm.
IDK, I’ve never taken it to mean wanting harm.
I wish that her socks always feel damp.
I wish that her sleeves always get wet when she’s washing her hands.
I wish that she always loses when gambling on a fart.
Not trying to defend her at all, but I seriously doubt those are actual examples of the things being said and even if, all of this would cause a regular person psychological distress (or “harm”, even if not physical).
I don’t know how Bulesky’s TOS are worded exactly, but it feels a bit like that whole “Guns don’t kill people, I kill people. With guns.” motif.
Personally, I think wishing harm on people that cause harm is completely OK. As for my wishes, those are inconveniences at most.
Maybe, I can’t really comment on what she did or “deserves” for it. I just know she made some transphobic remarks in the past, which is messed up. But there’s still a difference between someone with a twisted world view and Trump/Putin who actually incarcerate and sponsor torture of people.
However, the discussion was on whether something is “harmful” or not and you may actually argue that her BS doesn’t physically “harm” anyone either, if you try to make that point.
Rowling spends her considerable fortune to actively influence policy to hurt trans people.
I miss the part where that’s my problem

What? Wanting misfortune to befall someone is literally what wishing someone ill means?

2 day old account. First and only engagement is to defend a transphobe…
Thanks Ada <3
Hilarious considering one of their flagship features is community tags for content moderation. You’d think the TERF enablers would suggest tagging it as “non-TERF” or whatever. But no. Fuck em. Bluesky sucks anyways. They have comically short DM lengths and don’t allow images.
Bsky, mastodon, whatever. Microblogging is a trash format that we should move on from.
I actively wish JK harm.
Luckily here on Lemmy is a whole different story 🤣🤣🤣
