Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

A good portion of those who left Bluesky did so for bluesky.
ATProto vs ActivityPub are very different ways to build a social network, and Bsky 's still has a fairly big asterisk, but they scale up dramatically better than Lemmy/Mastadon and aren't quite as "not-federated" as some ActivityPub promoters want to admit.
Most notably, you can move the canonical source of your account data to a server not owned by Bluesky, and access the same massive firehouse of data via a client app or last-server option of your choice. And since the banning and safety is done mostly in either that canonical source or last-server step, moving away from the crypto-friendly founding corp is enough for many.
I'm sure there's a big swath who moved to Mastadon or threads or even to Twitter. But BlueSky's still got plenty of traffic for what I want from it.
