Nevertheless email stays the defacto standard for business communication and has stayed intercompatible with a wide range of clients, servers and plugins. So this graph could be better but is apparently not a big issue as long as companies and unis keep running their own servers, forcing big tech to stay with the standards.

Things never change, companies never break promises, shareholders never hold power over decision, people can not be bought

Those would all have to be true in order for anyone to have a reason to put trust into Bluesky.

If you execute random, non media file formats that u got from a torrent then thats on you.

Meta auto created threads accounts for all instagram users iirc so they kinda forced thwir way into the market by pre inflating their numbers.

Have you tried 535 yet? I would do that before trying to experiment with other installation pathways.

Well the obvious one is that they refuse to federate. That inevitably means they have plans to commercialize the platform and want to stay in control. But also little things like the fact that you cant view “age restricted” content without an account. Maybe they will stay somewhat nice for a while but in the end its always the same and there will be nothing you can do about it because they have complete control of the platform and the followers.

Bluesky is already in the process of going to shit in more ways than one. Until they start federating they are not an acceptable alternative.

lemmy is my first and only social account (unless you consider software forums or gitlab lol)

Matrix too but not using that in a social media way, only as a direct messenger.

Not without cracking it open to swap the battery.

It will ofcourse still be very filtered in regards to legal grey areas like piracy and porn i assume. But even then for everything else we really need a functioning search engine.

Thats an advantage so thin it is almost invisible. Its a centralized platform, it could be bought by Elon or shutdown for whatever reason at any second. Being this shortsighted about the future of global communications systems is not a great idea when Trump is about to take office.

Perhaps. Overall Bluesky is massive already tho. Twitter has something like 220 million users with Bluesky being around 14 million. Having 6% of the user count of Twitter is already beyond critical mass for the average user. People will be able to satisfy their microblogging itch on bluesky which means they wont go back. It has all the drama, porn and politics that twitter had.

Yeah sadly it just broke things for me. I appreciate the general idea but if it breaks games on stable debian then its not ready for release. You can turn off the new runtime environment system by launching steam from the terminal like so:

steam -compat-force-slr off

No, and it doesnt federate even though they promised that a long time ago. Unless they do, they will inevitably also go to shit, there is no way around the enshittification pipeline. Just stick to mastodon and invest in a long term future.

For a slightly more detailed explanation: https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/ulysses-pact/#tie-yourself-to-a-federated-mast

This is additional new users not total users. Growing by 0.67% of the user count of the largest microblogging platform in the world in a week is absolutely massive.

Very creepy that the dude would have a pic of her passport on his phone. Typical weird religious fascist i guess.

Thank u fren

This is not the original and its missing the custom pepe drawing for the story. Very sadge.

If we believe it hard enough will it become real?

I wonder if netanyahu was scared that his foot soldiers might be arrested and interrogated to reveal that they were given instructions. That would explain the quick call for exfiltration.
