@iloveDigit Nostr's unique features are their biggest enemy as well. To be completely uncensorable sounds nice, but on the same side open all floodgates for spam, massive harassment towards some groups of people or individuals and also content that is considered illegal in most countries (like child porn).

It may work in a rather small bubble, but will never work on a large scale.

@bluemoon Pertube and Friendica are rather complicated tools. So I guess that tools with fewer options are more mainstream compatible. But seeing that people in general tend to use photo/video oriented platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, ...), I guess that tools like Pixelfed and Loops would be more in the focus.

@TehPers @crandlecan In fact they aren't yours. I guess that there are no legal restrictions to just take them away from you.

@along_the_road @QuantumEyetanglement Bluesky is partially decentralized. You can setup your own PDS (the server where your data is stored). There are two central parts: The directory of all DID (comparable with a DNS) and the message relay.

They have got a repository with their code that is uses MIT as license.

@hedge @moon Bluesky has got only one central component, the directory. The web interface at bsky.app is only one of multiple web interfaces. The data itself is hosted in several distributed personal data servers and you can setup and host your own as well.

This "Bluesky is offline" message is similar to some "Mastodon is offline", when only mastodon.social is offline and all other servers are running.

@hedge BTW: There is an update to the terms of service as well that implies that you cannot opt out of providing training data to their AI.

@alyaza @hedge Funny side note: This rule with the disputes is not valid for residents of the EU due to their regulations. There an Irish court is responsible.
