@light Why? Do you not have enough trolls right here, in the open trolling fedi verse?

@admitsWrongIfProven I've been lurking it a bit. There are assholes, but also nice people who just post their art and photos etc. Just like here.
And it has feeds and labellers, which are cool.

@light I just wonder why - as far as i heard, bluesky is owned by one person, while fedi is many idiots mostly working together.

I'd take chaos over order any day, what would you hope to accomplish by embracing order, in the "one person gets to say" kind?

@admitsWrongIfProven
Bluesky (or rather, the "ATmosphere") isn't entirely owned by one person. It's actually a whole ecosystem of open source software. It's just that the architecture makes it hard to be fully independent from Bluesky PBC because relays are hard to host.

Despite that though, there are alternatives, such as Blacksky and a frontend using constellation.microcosm.blue/ that I can't remember the name of that pulled directly from PDSs (which are self-hostable).

@light Ok, personal perspective:
Why would i interact with something that "makes it hard"? What would be my incentive to do that?

@admitsWrongIfProven Well, my incentive is feeds and labellers, like I said.

@light I have no idea what that means. Do you think i should understand?

@admitsWrongIfProven TL;DR: Anyone can be a moderator on Bluesky by creating a "moderation service" that others can subscribe to.

@light Does that offset the dictatorship part where one person can dictate terms?

@admitsWrongIfProven I'm not sure. I'll have to study their terms of service.
