  • Yeah its a great read that people enjoyed a lot.

    One of the best parts is where she explains that bluesky cant scale down. You can run an activitypub server on a literal potato by design, but bluesky can’t ever be decoupled from it’s “eye of god” central architecture. The best case scenario for atproto federation is wikipedia or the Internet archive hosting a competing federated instance, but neither have stepped into that “millions/month” role.

    I think the head technical lead at bluesky responded in a very respectful and technical way and did cop to some limitatoons why highlighting blueskys strengths. That reply is here.


  • They tend to lag behind on purpose for stability reasons, but a year out of date is pushing it.

    Part of the issue they have is that one of the most popular apps for lemmy, Sync, has been abandoned by its dev. They said they have roughly 5k/month sync users, and if they update, their experience will break further. The egregious part is that app has subscription options, and it’s still been 10+ months since the last update.

    I left Sync for summit a couple of months ago due to the above, and boy howdy is it better. Actual FOSS, huge amount of options, very similar ux and flow as sync. It’s a champion.

    Here’s hoping more people trickle off of sync to a better app and lemmy world can drop that from their issues list.




  • So y’all just pissing in cherrios today?

    This is a brand new, opt in interoperability tool between 2 small-ish social networks. No shit its not heavily used yet. People who are using it can ask their friends to bridge, which will bring growth over time, just like any social networking experience.

    What exactly are you complaining about? That someone else did something cool you don’t care about? That other people may enjoy something you don’t?
