also obligatory, bsky is still a ghost town full of only the most neurotic people all the freakout posts I see threatening to leave are some form of weird attention seeking

I hate how bluesky fractures the whole idea of a decentralized social media platform by making their own protocol, really wish they used activitypub

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:40 AM general

imagine if all those folks moving to bluesky were on activity pub... can't compete with twitter like this

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:48 AM general

I think the appeal of fedi has always been getting back to smaller communities, and then selectively interacting between communities

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:48 AM general

bluesky is not that at all

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:51 AM general

it could and should still be apart of that. by default you just stay in the bsky fedi, if ya know what you're doing and want to, then you follow folks from others or add a whole feed. also bsky app is great, would love to log into infosec.exchange account on it

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:52 AM general

I think I just don't like the angle of being a catch-all fediverse node (if bsky was more integrated)

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:52 AM general

why be federated at that point?

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 9:53 AM general

bluesky is just twitter but without people

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:53 AM general

the most neurotic, weirdest people post on bsky

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:53 AM general

and that's it

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 9:53 AM general

Do not look at vinny's recent tweet Spooky

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:53 AM general

lol really?

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:53 AM general

so you can be the catch-all, some folk want that, and then you can interact with folks who don't want to be in the catch-all

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 9:54 AM general

I was going to make fun of him on twitter, opted not to

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:54 AM general

@Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil lol

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:54 AM general

if you are gonna try to do the same thing, which they kinda are with their aproto

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:54 AM general

might as well make it part of the successful protocol

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:55 AM general

even when these were both coming out at the same time it was obvious which one would take off

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:55 AM general

I just wish bsky failed and folks went to like default mastodon or something

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 9:55 AM general

Bluesky's main problem is only the most annoying people from twitter are on it

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:56 AM general

I see a common cycle on art twitter 1) Catch Elon derangement syndrome 2) Make a bsky, start posting there mirroring Twitter 3) Wonder why they get ZERO interaction on bsky 4) give up

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:56 AM general

bsky has much more normal folks than mastodon from my experience

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:56 AM general

bsky reminds me of old twitter

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:56 AM general

the only people who stay at the most neurotic, absolute obsessed people

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:56 AM general

way to much random people showing off art and cat photos

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 9:56 AM general

I like the fediverse, but everyone I follow just went back to twitter

mint Oct 17, 2024 9:56 AM general

mastodon has schizo posting

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 9:56 AM general

so I never bother looking at it

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:57 AM general

I think twitter as a platform is the least appealing app type to be federated

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:57 AM general

"microblogging" is not community centric at all really

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:58 AM general

so having dedicated community nodes is kind of just arbitrary

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:58 AM general

Mint, I'm curious if you have a different perspective on the Twitter block change

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:59 AM general

I really want to understand the other side of the argument

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 9:59 AM general

because I still just don't get it

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:00 AM general

I think everyone has it wrong when it comes to it being removed from play/app store

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:01 AM general

you need to have the ability to block people from your own feed, pretty sure it doesn't matter that people you block can view your own feed as long as you can't see them interact with you

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:02 AM general

and well, you could always just view someones tweet while logged out if they had blocked you

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:02 AM general

so what's the difference

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:02 AM general

^

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:02 AM general

that last part is what I can't just get over

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:02 AM general

I got caught up in some old school block lists back in the day

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 10:02 AM general

I genuinely think the soft block is a better approach

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:03 AM general

and I'd just.... log out or cache the page when I found someone who was using it

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:03 AM general

to read their timeline

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:03 AM general

those lists are gone now, I can't remember the last time I found an acct that has me blocked

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:04 AM general

it would be dumb if they allowed you to interact with someone who blocked you, ie comment on their post. And it like not show for you as a comment on your post but others could see it.

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:04 AM general

it should allow you to view their posts, but then say you can comment you are blocked when you try to comment

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:05 AM general

I'm 99% sure they're not doing that

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:05 AM general

not sure if likes should be possible, as likes are private now

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:05 AM general

all the interaction buttons will be locked

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:05 AM general

so it's obvious your blocked, it will tell you, but you can still read their timeline while logged in

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:05 AM general

old likes, should be locked, but new likes, idk it would really make a difference would it

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:05 AM general

Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131

I'm 99% sure they're not doing that

yeah that's what I assumed

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:05 AM general

new likes are stupid imo

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:05 AM general

I don't feel like I use it more either

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:06 AM general

im just giving a scenario in which I would hate it

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:06 AM general

ah, gotcha gotcha

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:06 AM general

That has been my most hated change NGL. I miss likes being a soft repost

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:06 AM general

folks like a post it might show in your feed, especially if multiple people you follow like the same post

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:07 AM general

I also liked browing people's likes

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:07 AM general

makes it so likes aren't something you can just throw around, your followers will see them

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:07 AM general

because it felt very curated

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:07 AM general

and that

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:07 AM general

and to make fun of Vinny

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:07 AM general

Elon took that from us

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:07 AM general

go on someone's page, scroll through their likes, call them out

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:08 AM general

Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131

and to make fun of Vinny

exactly!

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 10:08 AM general

I use it just to make Pix's numbers on her art higher

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:08 AM general

Pika, that's what I assumed you were going to say

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 10:08 AM general

lol

mint Oct 17, 2024 10:08 AM general

Brb gonna make a phijkchu bluesky

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:08 AM general

lol

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:09 AM general

I can't wait for the Jack cope post "account creation is up 10,000% this month"

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 10:09 AM general

I never used likes much anyways

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 17, 2024 10:09 AM general

followed by "post count is up 1%"

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 10:10 AM general

Retweets are the actual "I like and want to share this"

🐝🌯🌯🌯💥 Oct 17, 2024 10:10 AM general

Idk how people even use twitter, not being able to filter all the bullshit makes it unuseable, plus not really being able to sort new vs old content

Phijkchu_Pikachu Oct 17, 2024 10:10 AM general

The only purpose likes had for me was stalking Vinny's hornyness for xenoblade
