Last time (about a year ago) I looked into Misskey it was lacking some really basic features that even Misskey users were warning me about. Don’t remember what they were, but I think lacking hashtags was one of them? What’s the usability state of Misskey today?
Instead, when a user posts something, the algorithm automatically reads the content and tags it with relevant interests so it shows up on those pages.
Motherfucker this is what hashtags are for.
We’d better start modifying other animals and plants too.
Yeah I had no idea. Now I have one and I’m immediately considering moving to a different fedi microblog platform. I’ve already lost quite a bit of trust for Rochko due to his extreme eagerness to federate with Meta.
I use it a little bit. I think it’s pretty good but I don’t come from Instagram or anything like that, so I had no expectations. And I only use it very sparsely. I’m guessing that if you’re a heavy browser you might run out of content. But for me personally such platforms are more for posting photos than endless browsing.
I’m not the biggest fan of the UI of the official app, but it’s not bad bad.
Exactly. Who cares about accumulation of wealth and power, increasing income gaps and overall disparity when there are brown and trans people, reeeee! Some sort of enlightened, broad and sustained effort is required, but people with long working ours and stress over bills don’t have the time and energy to engage in all that. Tee-hee says the rich folks.
Yes Finland does it with traffic fines, and maybe other fines as well. That’s sort of exactly what I meant, but with “power” being more broadly defined than just money. (for instance cops have tremendous power they could misuse but not much money)
Maybe, just maybe, we could get something like that going if we managed to focus more on the split between people top to bottom rather than left to right, or between ethnicities etc.
What we need is a system where the power of the guilty is used as a multiplier for their punishment, especially if they used that power in some way for their crime.

It’s been quite a while since I read about the inefficiency. I think it had something to do with CPU load, and that it’s unnecessarily “chatty” in some ways that causes servers to use unnecessarily large amounts of data. And the extensions had to do with different types of services, where the AP spec is best suited for one type of service (like maybe micro-blogs iirc), and others have to use the spec in weird ways or add things on top of it to implement other features that are important for those other types of services, like more forum-esque type things like Lemmy. Don’t remember exactly what they were, but one thing I read last week was that guy who had to shut his AP project down because he used a method of fetching data, that Mastodon (or whichever service it was) uses but isn’t part of the AP spec, and poorly documented, so he implemented it wrong which had horrendous consequences for him, but that’s a different story.
Well, there are many different aspects to take into account. I was thinking more of how inefficient AP is when it comes to system resources and network usage, and some other things I can’t remember that made me go “yikes” when I read it. Also how it’s used for things the protocol doesn’t really have support for, so devs make their own solutions that are now part of the AP Fediverse even though the protocol itself, that is the backbone of the thing in question, doesn’t support the things that is a part of the thing. It seems a big mess in many ways, and I believe that Bluesky doesn’t have those issues.
I never said there was. I’d prefer it if they made AP better instead. And there’s a lot of room for improvement.
Yup. PBC is just a slightly different flavor of a standard corporation. Bluesky have investors, they’re burning investor money right now, they don’t know how to monetize the platform yet, and when those investors come knocking for their ROI it’s the same ol enshittification process all over again. No thanks. I don’t care if the backend is FOSS as long as it all revolves around a corporation, especially one with the roots of Bluesky. If there grows a viable and open community and ecosystem out of that, completely self-sustaining without the need for the corporation, using the FOSS code (or perhaps preferably a fork of it), then that’s a different story and that could be interesting.
I don’t know much about their protocol, but I find it likely to be better than ActivityPub since AP is kind of a mess. However I’m not going back to corporate social media ever again. The fewer corporate things in my life the better.
No no, this was caused by regulation! Just simply too much regulation. Poor regulated cows. :(
