LMFAO is this for real?

The blocking system there was not well thought out.

It’s a useless protocol that will be dead before it ever has a chance to take off. Is the signup process still restricted to four invites per user per month?

I couldn’t give away all my invites if I tried. And I briefly did try.

I have no idea how this works but I would take an invite so I could at least check it out.

I mean, if you really want to take a turn being called a Nazi, have at it.

I keep meaning to sign up for the madness

I'll get on Blue sky right after I convert my stack to doge.

Each one a quote tweet too?

Yeah. Couldn’t just reply to me and comment, had to call it out.

Part of the reason I left. Any time someone had an issue with a post, they didn’t want to engage in conversation. Instead, they quoted it out to everyone so their mob could come after you too.

Yeah, that’s a defining part of the culture there and it isn’t good.

It would be really sad if it weren’t so incredibly sad

such soft people

It’s kinda gross. I’ve been there since the beginning and the culture radically shifted for the worse once it crossed about 50k users. They even tried to cancel the ceo.

I can’t even see you or the other post’s author because I’m also blocked, but have no idea who blocked me

Not me. 🤣

I don’t even understand what any of that means and I’m not remotely motivated to find out. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

This is a conversation about a new NDL press release on the Forward about threats made to houses of worship. Two I retesting things in the article:

Orange County police are quoted as saying such threats ā€œare not a crimeā€ which is bullshit.

No details on any of the perpetrators for any of the many many cases listed because of an ā€œongoing investigationā€.

Those two facts leave open to speculation that by saying this is not a crime they are essentially inviting more such crime for some despicable reason and it has turned out in the past that a large percentage of these threats are made by people from within the worshiping community for some beef totally unrelated to ā€œhateā€.

Yet any sort of discussion of such anomalies in the reporting would earn you an instant ban and blacklisting.

But this is the NDL bread and butter.

The rest of the posts are just:

OMG THE THREAT LEVEL IS ORANGE.

YOU MEAN READ?!!

NO I SAID ORANGE!

You’re welcome! I take sats 😃

Duh. Sorry, ADL not NDL.

I SUCK AT THESE 3-LETTER GAMES.

Oof. Bless

If Evan is saying bluesky is a dud now man it really is. I know you’ve been trying šŸ˜‚

I gave it the old college try, but between the snails pace of development, toxic self-righteous community, and lack of third party development, I think it might just be a dud.

That’s really too bad.

You still active there at all nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 ?

I’m still active there, but I’m on all the platforms to learn how they work and see what’s up with them. I’m also active on x and threads and mastodon, and scuttlebutt, and t2, etc….

I think honestly until bluesky turns on atproto and federation we won’t know much about it and how it works.

My fear is that they’ve irreparably damaged their reputation before they can even get to atproto federation.

Yeah, I wish the’d started out in the open. At this point, I almost wonder if they should not put bsky.app on the main aproto network at all, just leave it as a space for folks on it, invite the community to moderate it. Then users could choose to migrate to the main net or stay on bsky. To me there’s nothing out and out wrong with wanting a more tightly controlled social media space. It’s just you should be able to opt in or out, and know what the rules are, and have the autonomy to use the tech without the restrictions.

Honestly, that makes a lot of sense. The community there has zero understanding of what the team is trying to build and actively attacks some of the concepts that are at the core of atproto or anything like it.

Keep it as its own island might not be terrible.

I’m p sure that’s a man.

Blocks only work on centralized systems.
