New: Fediverse Report 109

This week, an essay about #Bluesky's proposal for setting user preferences on their accounts. This allows people to indicate how they want their data to be handled off-protocol. I wrote about how the #fediverse can improve on this, using its strengths of many different communities, each with its own culture and values.

Also:
- Next week is the digital conference @fediforum
- A research dataset to compare Threads and Mastodon users

I don't know if I'm late to this party, but apparently Bluesky Bridge neuters the "sign-in required" restriction set in original Bluesky account when making the author's posts available in Mastodon

"it's not a bug, it's a feature" :blobfoxlaughsweat:

hoo-boy.

Apparently, Pete Hegseth included the editor of The Atlantic in a text chain wherein he and other Trump admin officials discussed Yemen war plans 🙄😬

You raise an interesting point that with platforms that throttle engagement via algorithm the users do not necessarily even know when they are being shadow banned or other subjects amplified.

Have no idea why people put so much unearned trust into #Bluesky when they are demonstrably lying about this whole decentralized nonsense. Suppose it is Jay Grabber's personality and charm, but seriously wake up folks! We don't have the luxury of screwing this up again.

As opposition accounts on X are suspended in Turkey at this critical juncture in their political struggles (politico.eu/article/musks-x-su), perhaps now is a good time to encourage our friends here on #Threads and #Bluesky to at least have an escape plan. Pack a social media emergency go bag by creating a Mastodon/Fediverse account (joinmastodon.org/) and start using it, at least as a secondary platform.
