Had this user try to do a PR on my webbian project in hopes of an auto-accept. They literally have a repo called virus. Reported, of course, but found it funny.

So, a fraudster.
No I'm not, you're just hot-swapping between ATProto and BlueSky, cherry picking the best parts of whichever to suit the debate. See: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47335289/19626444
Sure seems like that's what you're doing. Notice how no one is against ATProto. Your post title is about BlueSky, not about ATProto.
We don't care about the protocol, despite what you think. Your average Lemmy user isn't on a standards body. We care about the network it facilitates.
Volunteers run the Fediverse, keeping it open. The former Twitter CEO runs BlyeSky. Want to start an actual open network running ATProto? Go for it.
Mastodon is more open than you think.
You made a post to attempt to dispell what you consider a misunderstanding about BlueSky, yet your comment suggests you dont understand the Fediverse.
Well, that problem also exists with mastodon.social
No, it doesn't. There are thousands of instances, some with hundreds of thousands of users. If you sort the instance list by active users, the population spreads out even more, because smaller instances have more active users.
and a lot of the actual fediverse.
Wrong again. Lemmy.world is about 30% of Lemmy, and less when you include Mbin, PieFed, etc.
Its less distributed, but its still decentralised.
I run a Fedi instance connected to hundreds of others. If one, even a large one, defederates me, it does not cut me off. If I ran a PDS, I'd be connected to BlueSky, and they can do what they want.
You are rationalizing this to yourself because you like BlueSky.
Still is. Always will be.
Beer in the US is too cold. That is the crime here.
Hardcore? Reddit abd Twittter are full of bots and garbage, how does avoiding that make anyone hardcore? I think "more well informed" is the phrase you are looking for.
I saw this post while standing in line for a bagel. Right next to me was a stack of magazines. This was on top. Uncanny timing.
Actually #2 may be a brain fart for me. I'm probably thinking of the setting in the Arrs that changes file date to release date.
As much as I hate to link it, there's more info on the old Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalRenaissance/comments/1jl5j2i/preelection_for_mayor_in_s%C3%A3o_paulo_brazil/
Lots more pictures, but specifically:
This is from 2016, during the primary elections for mayor of São Paulo, the supporters of 2 candidates raided a polling place and harassed a woman working there, because they believed electoral fraud was being committed by hired supporters of the third candidate billionaire João Doria, who would proceed to win the primaries, the mayoral race, and then give up the job half way through his term to run for governor, which he also won, also supposedly through monetary means. Eventually he gave up his political career, after managing to essentially destroy what was the countries second or third largest political party. He was the governor that best dealt with the pandemic in the country, but he was still such a colossal Elon that his party essentially dissolved from sheer cringe.
Oh yea, was agreeing with your sentiment.
I've been custom designing pegboard inserts for all of my workshop items to clean things up. Figured since I release most of the things I create to various communities, these should be no different ;)
$345 to tap Attend. A rediculous event on a local hiking group. We think the owners let it expire, and someone else bought up the group.
For those not aware, Meetup's leadership has been pushing the "start a business on Meetup" agenda. It's all downhill from here.
... in their BF ad's crossword. If they were on Mastodon, I'd send this their way.
