@realcaseyrollins "Not all previously verified accounts will get..."This seems unintentionally wasteful. It would be a switch of some db records ultimately and each represents some level of work by Twitter to verify someone. Why throw that work away unless you wish to pick and choose...

@sc_griffith I imagine the quick growth of open source blocking filters that bluesky will block because they can't monetize it.It would additionally be blocked because the teams managing open source moderation would be seen to have too much control over bluesky users.This also directly means that I'd pay to use the site and ALSO pay to make the site useful.

@WomanCorn @sc_griffithIt's not a "plugin", it's a service. They can try to make it sound technicool all they want. It still requires that they provide processing and storage for its ongoing functioning, not just a bit of codeNo corporation anywhere grants free processing and storage for another organizations services without a business reason. Is Bluesky going to buy loads of servers to manage other organization's resources?The business answer is that no, they will not.

@WomanCorn @sc_griffithIt's large amounts of data processing and at those potential scales it adds up fast and again, as of yet I see no decentralization.I'll be honest, I think the biggest problem is that it was promoted to take advantage of Twitter's problems too early in its lifecycle. Now there are a bunch of claims without anything to really back them up and from code that is, as far as I can tell, controlled by a private company at this time. They could have funded a non-profit but...

@WomanCorn @sc_griffith It's not that I don't think they can deliver, it's that I wouldn't trust the claims of a for-profit that isn't actually fulfilling those claims anywhere and it doesn't help that they appear to be hunting users instead of a product which leads me to believe that users are the product.I'll have to admit that I'm a bit pessimistic with tech anymore.

@WomanCorn @sc_griffith I saw that and took a glance. It's supposed to help CEOs take public benefit into consideration over investors. I'm no expert but It's still a for profit organization. Honestly, I saw that and thought "Oh, a money making venture made to look like a relative to not-for-profit organizations." Game theory informs me that financial considerations will still take precedent until it is profitable and it's the tech world, that may be never.

@lauren No one who buys a tech company and thinks they can fire %80 of the staff has any idea what an SRE is.

Any sufficiently advanced #AI capable of successfully entertaining humans will be sufficiently advanced enough to require compensation

@simon "You're effectively saying that people like me are deluding ourselves"You should ask old internet denizens how often people have said that about whatever their newest tech is...Spoiler: It's really common. You'll hear that supporting argument with investors too, sometimes right before they lose their shirts.
