#Bluesky now redirects links through "go.bsky.app".

This is a kludge similar to Twitter's "t.co" to pass on referer information (already available on the open web) from mobile apps, to make Bluesky look better in analytics reports.

Intercepting clicks is always problematic from a privacy/security perspective; in addition, it introduces a technical layer that can fall over (the redirection service).

If you click on a link in a Bluesky post, it is now automatically redirected via the domain go.bsky.app before it actually goes to the link in the post. There is no way to stop this or know that it is happening as the redirect only flickers on the screen for a fraction of a second.

Presumably this means Bluesky can now track all link clicking on their platform, including IP addresses, destinations etc?

Or have I misunderstood?

Bluesky is spinning it as a tool for publishers to track referrals, but going beyond the spin it seems to be giving Bluesky access to people's online activity?

Fediverse Report

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

Read at: fediversereport.com/fediverse-

The fediverse can sidestep the question of default account values because people have many accounts on the fediverse, for different use cases. This gives the option to set a different default value for different services. A Pixelfed platform for close friends should set stricter default data-handling preferences. A Mastodon server for blogging platform Medium that has the goal of giving more visibility and reach to its writers could consider setting default values to be more open. The power of the fediverse is in that there does not have to be a single default at all. Instead, communities and servers should be able to set default values for themselves. This can help shape the tone of the community, and makes it clear what the identity of a community is about. What’s even more powerful is that this only concerns the default value, giving people the ability to set their preferences as they desire. The state of the open social web is such that there are now two protocols in competition with each other. That gives the ability for the fediverse to take ideas from other networks, and improve on them in a way that plays up to the unique strengths that the fediverse has.

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:

@coolhand.bsky.social post in Bluesky transmitted via Bluesky Bridge to Fediverse with 4 photos from Turkiye protests
Same post but originally in Bluesky which you can't see because sign-in required

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 🙄😬

Screenshot from Katy Phang's bsky account, where she posts: “The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing" above an image from The Atlantic article I link to in my post.

@DoomsdaysCW

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.
