@stux I want to watch this season but I don't think there's any streaming service that offers it here so there is no legal way.

@wjmaggos You're completely correct. This all also seems pretty detached from reality when it suggests Bluesky will just be the place people will flock to from everywhere forever while the momentum already seems to be fading.This "it's a protocol, not a platform thing" is a weird thing to keep repeating when they only have one platform worth anything using the protocol... I guess "Bluesky federates" evolved into this. Talk is cheap, let's see them make it happen first.

@iju @ricci @jwildeboer FWIW this tracks BSky monthly/weekly/daily active users and puts the MAU number currently at around 5.65 million: https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_users_total.html

Bluesky really isn't liking this post by the CEO. Didn't see a single comment agreeing.I don't condone political violence but I do get the frustration from people over this. This is the BS leadership trying to seem neutral in the same way they were when they welcomed JD Vance.#bluesky #uspol #charliekirk

@wjmaggos If we're talking about real conservatives that believe in democracy and not the MAGA faithful, sure. Even liberals get to experience that kind of behavior from some people.As for going out of your way to post this about someone who was fully engaged in the MAGA rhetoric and very happy to come up with excuses for why it doesn't matter if the President calls for violence, not so much...

@ricci thanks for making this tool, it's definitely interesting to see what instances handle the moderation for your follows/followers and how large their shares are. It might be interesting to contrast this with averages (what portion of users overall on each instance).

@wjmaggos they're not just told to censor more though, they've being accused of having been very eager to censor on behalf of one part of the political spectrum while resisting similar requests from the other

@wjmaggos I don't know if they really backed off... They came out saying they are going to be more strictly moderating in the future.

@wjmaggos yeah, I don't know if I'd say someone is still posting "free speech unimpeded" if someone's reachable audience is reduced from 5.6 million to 1500...

@wjmaggos yeah them bringing up their own appview should let them make this user visible on Blacksky while for now they're only visible through "Red dwarf" which IIRC is an app that goes directly to PDS without passing through AppView or relay.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/115339646350516255Impressed by Pritzker. It may be useful to ridicule Trump but at the same time we know what he is and we know that these threats should be taken seriously.

@strypey @matthew problem is that not everyone is very convinced that Bluesky are neither.

@Nonilex well once again what some may have seen as Trump joking turned out not to be.

@Stomata looks like an instance set up by hosts of the NYT podcasts "The Hard Fork" and "Search Engine". I guess those have a fairly large following.

@Nonilex FIFA has probably agreed to give him the FIFA Greenland. Is Epstein's Island available?

RE: https://flipboard.social/@TechDesk/115935236883890857@aslakr it's looking like they could be using Bluesky's code for this based on "leaked screenshots" and there being a PDS at https://pds-prod.wsocial.eu/Don't know how that will work with their ID and real name requirements. One option would be that it is entirely separate but one of the supposed screenshots seems to show a @verge post and a post by @queerash.wsocial.eu (same as queerash.bsky.social) from Bluesky with same comment/boost/like counts.#wsocial #bluesky #atproto

@aslakr you can actually even see them running the bluesky web app here: https://stage.wsocial.eu/

@strypey @aslakr well it doesn't seem like just PDS since their goals would not be possible with that and they already run the web app publicly but beyond that, who knows. We don't even know how far along they really are in development so what is there now might not represent the eventual vision.

@hpod16 I think a program that would provide funding to support some types of organizations setting up their own fedi instances could be a good idea for getting more of them on board. That could get all sorts of local information streams people naturally want to subscribe to over here.Also, looking at for example the Forkiverse you see how effective that can be in getting people to at least try fedi when there's a natural community around something.#forkiverse #digitalsovereignty
