@quollveth @cwebber the TL;DR is , #DTBO (douchebag techbro billionaire owned) ANYTHING is BAAAAD, hmmmkaaaay....

@cwebber beyond me why people are still at #bluesky. It's the trap of tHIs tiME WilL be dIFFerEnT, I guess.
#ATProto is NOT an open API. Any parallel implementation still has to go through bluesky's servers.
They are still owned by #DTBO vulture capitalist cryptobro techbro billionaires, who have stated they will sell your data and info to LLM predatory enterprises.
Baffling, really.
Meanwhile, #AcitivityPub remains simple, #FOSS, inexpensive, truly decentralized.
Go figure.

@jeffjarvis But here is a *crazy* notion:
Leave #LinkedIn
it's possible, feasible, desirable and helps everyone else, too. Staying at the nazi bar NEVER helps anyone, but the nazis.

@kottke isn't he betting on a vulture capitalist crypto tech bro owned #DTBO , which corrals people in a proprietary, walled garden twitter-to-be? AND wanted to gove them $30M to add to that proprietary, walled off garden trap?
Consider people's decision making as the weight of their judgement.
Just saying.

@remixtures AND owned by VC Crypto Billionaire Techbros!
It's another month, remember to help out with your #fediverse instance maintenance.
A literal couple of bucks thrown into the pool of funds helps. Most admins run their own instances as a voluntary act. If you enjoy being part of one, help keep it up.
The alternative is being a product at #DTBO corporate socmedia such as #bluesky #threads #xitter #facebook #linkedin #instagram and many others.
NOT being a product is worth a few bucks per year, really.

@dannotdaniel "this time will be different, bro, I swear, bro, join my corporate walled garden internet, bro"
#bluesky #DTBO
There are several articles, by people who I know put forth good stuff, but unfortunately, they made a poor decision to publish them in #substack and I am not giving money, or clicks to #nazi #DTBO websites, owned by people who support and push for the demolition of democracy.
Not boosting anything from substack.
There are excellent and simpler, easier tools, some of them #FOSS, too. It's a CHOICE to remain in substack, or use #zoom, or others.

@GayDeceiver except he included #bluesky which is NOT federated or de-centralized, but a #DTBO run from a cluster of proprietary, non- #FOSS servers, owned by venture capitalist crypto techbros.
If anyone thinks they will brew, foster and push a revolution from within #bluesky and other #DTBO douchebag techbro billionaire owned #socmedia such as #instagram, #facebook, #linkedin, #xitter, #threads or any other such, they are idiots.
The media owned by the people who are doing the democracy killing is NOT where it will happen.

@thetnholler.bsky.social That's #xitter and #threads and #bluesky for you.
it's a #DTBO, owned by billionaire techbros.
It's #xitter waiting to happen, and I can NOT fathom why would ANYONE go repeat a mistake there.
The #Fediverse is HERE, free of ALL those problems.

@wdjorth blog.
Host your own blog.
It's cheaper, and you have actual control over your content, besides NOT GIVING ANY MONEY OR PLATFORM FOR NAZIS.
Yes, it's possible. No, it's not impossible. Nor much harder/more technical than most people think.
"oh, but I don't know how..."
If only there was a vast body of amply available knowledge and technical expertise/advice AND FREE SOFTWARE, at the other side of a screen connected to the Internet...
Guys, mental laziness gave us Web2.0
Was the lesson enough, yet, to teach us that a convenient, corporate walled garden ends in no good, for anyone??

OR
we could dump what was made by people with ill intent, and develop different things, from ground up, without the contamination of #DTBO intent.
Be very very wary of those who think all problems can be solved by technology. They can not. Categorically, absolutely can not.
I have yet to see a single medical or astrophysical application of #LLM that was worth their insane consumption of resources, the social cost, and the end-state of their owners destroying democracy.
It's just the latest idiotic box that beeps and boops, for techbros to go WOO, GIMME MONEY, and fools to open wallets. Nothing else. Nothing more.
