I was talking about the atmosphere, not the architecture.

It’s the best thing out there of its type right now. I’m not going to shit on it because of what might happen in the future. I’m sure something else will come along to move to if that happens.

It plays everything I need it to.

Kernel level anticheat is garbage that shouldn’t be on anyone’s system anyway.

Having used it for several days now, I can tell you the difference is that Bluesky is a lot like Lemmy - not filled with hate and vitriol, and easy to make it what you want by selecting your feeds and following things you care about while pruning the rest.

The people who can’t socialize properly with others are swiftly dealt with. Subscription blocklists make it really easy to just annihilate any possible interaction between yourself and undesirables. I have several blocklist subscriptions for MAGA chuds and White Supremacists for example. And when you block someone on Bluesky they can’t see what you write and you’ll never see anything from them ever again. Zero interaction from that point on. So the housekeeping actions actually keep the house clean.

Once you’ve done the initial housekeeping, it’s just full of people talking about cool stuff, and when someone crashes the party to be nasty they are quickly shown the door. It’s wonderful.

Good on ya mate.

Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Soda machines and Prego are both fairly affordable. 😂

IMO it is THE killer feature, and it’s why Bluesky is going to win this round of the internet wars.

“When she and her husband sold the house last year, they stowed away the proceeds, $282,153.87” Literally the second sentence in the article.

The fact that every other article about his incoming administration is talking about their desire to dismantle the federal government, maybe.

I like your style

That’s exactly what it is. The trolls and bot runners and MAGA chuds are pissed that we can completely prevent them from interacting with us there. And with curated blocklists it doesn’t even require work for the average user.

They can come to bsky but they’ll just be screaming at each other while the rest of us talk about cool stuff.

I sometimes work with lawyers to do discovery for corporate IT. The good news is, this doesn’t really fly in court from what my company’s legal team has told me. So either the evidence was SO bad that this was a better option for them, or they actually did shoot themselves in the foot.

It’s a solution for me. 🤷

He’s right we need laws. He’s wrong that it’s a relief valve or that we take pressure off the heinous privacy violators. We aren’t even a rounding error to them. They don’t care.

This is the way.

You forgot to mention the lobotomy.

That’s new, it didn’t used to do that back in the days when I used it but that was a couple years ago. Sounds like it’s just getting worse.

Are you seriously asking if Google is a privacy threat? I mean…. duh. Anyone who cares about privacy divorced themselves from Google services a long time ago.

And that’s why I still listen to music on my Zune HD instead of my iPhone.

I know man. It was empathy not congratulatory. I hope you’re doing ok. Not sure we ever truly get over the things our parents did to us though.

You win. My dad’s nice. My mom’s the narcissist but pretty mild compared to a lot of the other shit I’ve read from people who grew up in that kind of home.

Eh, I’ve forgotten a lot of the details and it’s drama that I don’t care to relearn about. Easy to find online with some basic searching if you want to read about it.
