If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)

I wish he had mentioned Lemmy, but it's understandable that he didn't. Also Bluesky isn't an alternative to big tech, it IS big tech. I wish it wasn't stealing so much of our publicity lately.

But beggars can't be choosers, and we have seen some nice growth over the past couple months. John Oliver fans are the perfect candidates to join the fediverse, hopefully some of them find their way to Lemmy.

I'm really not happy about bluesky their fragmentation of the fediverse protocols is only going to harm us in the long run.

IMO bridgy is not well designed. The fact that it requires both the follower and the followee to specifically opt in basically makes it DOA. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are completely open and public in terms of post visibility, so bridgy should have been designed to require explicit opt outs from anyone who didn't want their content bridged.

The fediverse hoa had a bit of a problem with it, ignoring the fact that federation is opt out by default.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bridgy started without that requirement and it pissed off too many Mastodonians so they reworked it

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well fuck the mastodonians their stupidity is no reason to make everyone else's experience shitter.

[–] Zagorath@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

I would have put it in less harsh terms, but yes, basically this.

[–] knova@infosec.pub 1 points 2 days ago

Yes, but it’s not relevant to the point I was making
