  • Yeah its a great read that people enjoyed a lot.

    One of the best parts is where she explains that bluesky cant scale down. You can run an activitypub server on a literal potato by design, but bluesky can’t ever be decoupled from it’s “eye of god” central architecture. The best case scenario for atproto federation is wikipedia or the Internet archive hosting a competing federated instance, but neither have stepped into that “millions/month” role.

    I think the head technical lead at bluesky responded in a very respectful and technical way and did cop to some limitatoons why highlighting blueskys strengths. That reply is here.


  • They tend to lag behind on purpose for stability reasons, but a year out of date is pushing it.

    Part of the issue they have is that one of the most popular apps for lemmy, Sync, has been abandoned by its dev. They said they have roughly 5k/month sync users, and if they update, their experience will break further. The egregious part is that app has subscription options, and it’s still been 10+ months since the last update.

    I left Sync for summit a couple of months ago due to the above, and boy howdy is it better. Actual FOSS, huge amount of options, very similar ux and flow as sync. It’s a champion.

    Here’s hoping more people trickle off of sync to a better app and lemmy world can drop that from their issues list.



  • Here is a general write up about the CEO showing their maga colors.

    More happened in the reddit thread though that added some more elements, like the ceo opting for a new user name with “88” in it (a common right wing reference), his unprompted use of the phrase “didnt mean to trigger you,” him evasively refusing to clarify what his stance actually was because “that would be more politics,” on and on. You can read through that thread here, although proton corporate are mods, so i have no idea what they may have deleted at this point.

    The thread was full of “mask on” behavior that is pretty transparent to anyone experienced with the alt right on the internet.
