A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

And please don't say they're moving to bluesky. That's just jumping out of the pot and into the flames.

I don't think blueskys that bad. At least not yet. I'd prefer a fully featured federated thing but the fact is mastodon just doesn't appeal to most people.

Blueskys moderation capabilities at least are quite nice atm

But Bluesky is not FOSS so it's literally the devil here.

isn't it literally foss though lol?

Yep, the moment you have to explain it, you've already lost; the normies will check out. That's the thing, these sites depend on having a huge userbase and people just aren't going to go to a site with "nobody on it". I maintain an account on both Mastodon and Bluesky... they're both pretty neat in their own way. But Mastodon isn't ever going to be the virtual town square. I kinda like it quiet there, tbh.

i follow and interact with plenty of people on mastodon through my bsky account. :)

But isn't the aim for their blocking to be so good they can serve Nazis and antifa on the same platform without them conflicting?

Is that really much better than twitter the nazi bar?

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

bsky nukes fascist accounts pretty quickly; the blocking tools were created as anti harassment tools since sex workers and trans people were early adopters and had lots of input toward it

I did just hear libsoftiktok joined and got banned pdq too.

Great news honestly, I thought they were dumping all this on custom Blocklist but if they're also moderating themselves it really makes me consider making an account.
