Working on @anewsocial has been a dream come true, and I can't begin to say how lucky I feel to be able to work with @snarfed.org.But if we want this to run for the long haul, we need to start thinking about where the money is coming from.If you can support us, we'd truly appreciate it 🫶🏼 (3/3)

The most unfortunate part of these decentralization convos is how much erasure there is of all the independent ATProto devs working hard to detach the open social web from any one organization or person

@wjmaggos Okay, but they're not. Is spreading misinformation about the alternative or saying their work is worthless the productive path now? Especially when a lot of them tried with AP and saw solutions to their problems on AT? Are prominent voices talking down on everyone as if their ideas hold more value how we bring more people into the fold?Anyway. I plan on making sure that we can cooperate rather than create new enemies.

@evan @wjmaggos @chris @blaine @anewsocial Appreciate all the kind words in the thread! That said, I still strongly believe opt-in is a feature, not a bug. The right solution isn't to force people onto networks they don't want to be a part of; it's to clean up the rough edges of unbridged interactions and content so it makes less of a difference.

@evan @wjmaggos @chris @blaine @anewsocial I understand the instinct of "make these work together", but there are technical and cultural differences that make it more than just two standards talking to each other. A couple of simple examples are "I don't want to be in a public, auditable firehose" or "I had a bad experience there, I don't trust them with my safety."

@wjmaggos @evan @chris @blaine @anewsocial I agree with you there! But often it's not about *how* public things are, it's more about *where* they're public. In other words, many users I've spoken to who are either not bridged or are straight-up anti-bridge have chosen that route because they don't (yet) trust the entities on the other side to have that much ownership over their data. There's also a cohort who don't want to have to depend on *us* to bridge them either.It's a lot more complex!

@wjmaggos @evan @chris @blaine @anewsocial Huge difference between screenshotting vs always being a part of another network and another organization's infrastructure by default.To be clear, I don't agree with Fediverse platforms depending on a blocklists, I much prefer approve-lists, but I don't think that's a popular opinion either.

You could use Bridgy Fed to convince folks on ATProto why ActivityPub is better and point them to Bounce so they can migrate without losing their network.Disengaging is counter-productive to success. You don't win hearts by ignoring them.

@wjmaggos I would hate to be on a server with a heavy-handed admin, I'd just be afraid of losing access to everything because of one bad day

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/115961913091914420And if it is, you can use other options like https://staging.blacksky.community (Blacksky beta that runs on its own stack, top to bottom) or https://reddwarf.app/ (directly pulls content from PDSes) with the same account you use on Bluesky 😌

@wjmaggos odd! Might be worth sending them a bug report: support@blacksky.app

@wjmaggos hm, not really - they also own a relay, numerous PDSes, a moderation stack, multiple custom feeds etc. Blacksky is moving in a similar direction.

@wjmaggos Blacksky has written all their code from scratch (relay, AppView, PDSes, and moderation stack), the only thing they've forked is the client, and I believe they're diverging from it over time, if not writing their own long-term. If you use Blacksky, unless you're on a Bluesky PDS, you're not using Bluesky at all.

I know a lot of folks are harping on using Matrix because Signal went down today, but I can't recommend a tool that I, a technical person, find unusable to non-technical people.It diminishes the argument of why these tools are better for them when a usable product with the same ethos emerges.

Signal is a damn good product, regardless of its flaws. It's a great option for most people.You want people to use a decentralized messaging service? Build one that's better than Signal.

@pwm Delta is a better option than Matrix. But, perhaps we shouldn't call folks who don't have time to dive into technology illiterate, though.
