WIRED: Would you welcome president Trump if he was debating joining bluesky?@jay.bsky.team: Yeah, #bluesky is for everyone. I understand that #ATproto should be for everyone, but decentralization means you don't have to allow everyone on your server. The admin can run their own and everyone can decide how to deal with that. The company doesn't need to make these decisions. She knows this.I doubt @Gargron would welcome him on #mastodon infrastructure.https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social/post/3m3g7vwkokk2i

@wjmaggos @mastodonmigration I remember vividly when Twitter started slowly making the same change.. likely for the same reasons. Lots of heated debates, then we all just accepted it.

@wjmaggos @mastodonmigration I have three accounts on Bluesky (my personal account and two projects I work for), and none of them ever see the 'Discover' feed unless I intentionally switch to it.

@wjmaggos @jay.bsky.team @Gargron icymi Trump's TruthSocial is built on Mastodon. It's just that nobody federates with it.

@thematic @mastodonmigration Twitter didn't do this till 2016. Ads came in 2010 tho. People fell in love with it before both.

@billseitz @jay.bsky.team @Gargron sure but they actually turned off federation themselves. that's really what she should have said to them:"We're not going to pay for you to do your gross PR involving shitting on peaceful protestors. But we're open so just bridge here from there. But like Elon, you won't cause you're too scared people would leave your roach motel."Except they are not that kind of open like #ActivityPub is. They still decide who gets access to the relay etc.

@mastodonmigration @wjmaggos Yeah, IIRC the default was switched for new users around… May/June 2024 I think? I have mixed feelings about this myself tbh (also on whether it actually serves the intended purpose well)

@mastodonmigration @wjmaggos To be clear, this is very different from Twitter, because 1) if you remove it, it never ever comes back to your pinned tabs, and 2) for better or worse, it's a much much simpler algorithm than on Twitter. But it is a default, and defaults are powerful.

@mackuba @mastodonmigration is there a post about it?the whole reason decentralized social media matters IMO is that it allows the people to take back control over what gets attention in our culture. what info, ideas and art goes viral. (not the people with the most money who buy all kinds of media companies and run ads for politicians and shit we otherwise wouldn't waste our money on) built into everything, it's revolutionary. #DemocracyOfReach this opposes that.

@wjmaggos @mastodonmigration About the default switch? I think this was done without any announcements, here's a comment I saved about this from Dan who worked there at that time: https://bsky.app/profile/danabra.mov/post/3kyz5bydt4s2e
