I wonder if science fiction / science fantasy writers realize that a galactic empire, or an inter-galactic empire, would have a lot more than "billions" or "trillions" of people.

Looking at one science fantasy, I wouldn't be surprised, if they had a scene like "For a low price, buy your own private planet" and someone buys the planet, builds a villa, and doesn't do anything else with it.

The seventh prince anime is more entertaining than I expected.

I'm not even looking for these. I casually left a tab open and checked on it randomly.

Apparently, Bluesky also requires a continuous internet connection, otherwise a profile you had open (through the website) will change to "Unable to connect". You'd think it would only stop updating.

I should finish reading this science fantasy novel.

Fun Fact: The images in #YoujoSenki's ending are from the light novel. #anime

Now, Bluesky has confirmed that they engage in puritanical censorship.

Practically speaking, someone might have to use a particular social network to communicate (although, in the case of Twit, as I said before, I don't think I can be bothered with it).

Also, I don't think it makes sense to attack someone for using the Bluesky bridge. For one, the number of people who do so are, practically speaking, tiny.

But, also, unless you are RMS (and I don't think things went well for him), then chances are someone is going to use a sub-optimal social network to communicate.

Once again though, I think a slower pace of growth for the fediverse is okay.

In theory, someone could use the fediverse. In practice, there is a good chance they wouldn't, so it would practically come down to one Silicon Valley firm or another.

I agree that attacking someone for using Bluesky doesn't make sense, especially when the main competitor to it is Threads.

It looks like they're trying to backfill content now that they missed.

Okay, I think that the bridge going down once was noteworthy, but honestly, I don't think I can be bothered to follow along every single time it has stability issues.

Once again, it's looking like a platform which should have been launched back in 2015 - 2017. Post visibility controls are a standard feature nowadays.

I see the Bluesky bridge is unstable again.

From reading the discourse, I'm not sure Bluesky even has much in the way of post visibility settings, so I suppose that is another point for the fediverse.
