I edited the title after their comment, it wasn't that clear at the beginning

It's a pun. The admin name is @sal@mander.xyz, so "Salamander"

Indeed, I hadn't looked at the full context as it's a month old thread.

They built it with decentralised identities so that users owned their identities and can move about freely.

From the top comment here: t

Then, there’s the “relay”. Which to Fediverse, the only thing similar is also relays, but they work differently. On BlueSky, they relay every post and interactions of all the PDS data that connect to AppViews. I do not think there’s a choice on what is relayed, just a huge firehose. That being said, they’re not optional like Fediverse. To complete the network, relays are required on ATProto and apparently could be expensive to host, so right now, it appears the only relay is hosted by BlueSky the company. Which makes things slightly centralized.

Could you provide an example of a relay that is not managed by Bluesky?

You saying people could “easily” move to another instance isn’t reality. People already find the Fediverse too difficult, as you and I discussed under a different thread people actually care about their data which also includes their posting history.

If we already discussed this, then is it worth it to go over this again?

Some news sites had an interesting take on comments sections. Before you could comment on an article, you had to correctly answer a 5 question quiz proving you actually read it.

It would be interesting to try that on Lemmy for a day. People would probably not be happy.

You probably need automated matches threads.

We have them on !football@lemmy.world , that helps a lot to get activity

They are not really allowing federation.

I saw a comment the other day saying that "the line between the most advanced bot and the least talkative human is getting more and more thinner"

Which made me think: what if bots are setup to pretend to be actual users? With a fake life that they could talk about, fake anecdotes, fake hobbies, fake jokes but everything would seem legit and consistent. That would be pretty weird, but probably impossible to detect.

And then when that roleplaying bot once in a while recommends a product, you would probably trust them, after all they gave you advice for your cat last week.

Not sure what to do in that scenario, really
