I agree, though a more accurate summary is that their goal is not decentralization but providing an easy exodus from any rogue instance of itself. More specifically, Bluesky cannot control your own relay if you self-host it, but you must host basically the entirety of Twitter, including everything that was moderated.

Blobs aren’t really a concern as they reference the sources which produce the same binaries, but there are suspicions of compromise due to the Lemmy comments mentioned in the thread. The official accounts’ comments alleviate some of that, though.

Agreed. I think he could’ve changed clothes to throw the investigators in for a loop

People don’t care about decentralization as long as they have a credible exit; in fact, many may prefer the features of centralization. Bluesky also has an algorithm.

idk about voyager

You go into the modlog and search their username in the username field. It looks like Nougat’s replies were all removed for spamming along with mine, which I kinda agree with

TL;DR: Bluesky isn’t feasibly federated due to hardware demands of self-hosting the relay—which would require every instance to host the same, synced copy of the entirety of Twitter everywhere—among other things, but is great at providing what its committed corporation calls a centralized “credible exit“: “if Bluesky Social PBC goes out of business or loses users’ trust, other providers can step in to provide an equivalent service using the same dataset and the same protocols”

i guess i agree they’re not the culprit, i just thought it would be funny lol

haha no. i meant the examples of trolling i provided lol, not you.

Calling someone zionist is not a slur. Calling someone a bot is also not a slur. Both are thought-terminating cliches. Also, by thread, I meant including the comments as well. Plus you have the trolling.

There’s outright lying, this thread of what I can only describe as trolling, chanting “what about clinton’s blowjob” on a post asking for people to debunk a list of bad things Reagan did, and there’s a ton of calling everyone Zionists within the very thread I linked to. Such spreading of vitriol at everyone he disagrees with is definitely bannable IMO.

ackshually, for trademark and brand reasons, it’s bloons, not balloons, and for trademark infringement reasons, it’s bloons td, not bloons tower defense

since the guy is also a stonks AI tech bro it appears this was a reason some on the far-right didn’t want trump to be on the joe rogan podcast

I sure agree, ChihuahuaOfDoom

The discussion here shows me that linkerbaan’s ban was the right decision: https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/29384791 . Please provide receipts of actual attempted Orwellianism.

That people create blocklists that become popular absolutely does not prove endorsement of a potential official blocklist. While an official, default blocklist may be Orwellian, unofficial opt-in blocklists that require searching for are not Orwellian at all. One knows they’re there, one chooses to block them. Your line of reasoning leads to arguing against the block feature entirely. And what’s wrong with providing transparent statistics?

For all the great enforcement problems KOSPA has, at least it incorporated Filter Bubble Transparency…

I think you’ve been in an echo chamber for too long.
