Dam they’re really doing it. They’re taking whats been build here and making a corporate clone.

« They » is « a full-stack developer whose work has largely focused on working with web technologies ». You show you dislike lone developers building their own apps.

Well it’s the concept of not being fediverse. Point is one great developer running everything is awesome. However he’s tying it into bluesky… which also while it seems great on the surface right now, is still basically positioned that if it sells out it could be just as corrupted as Dorseys previous project
Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 months ago
I dislike bluesky. This app is built on bluesky and therefore I can lump it in with bluesky.
Since bluesky is a centrally controlled for profit platform. It will eventually close its doors to projects like pinksky once it gets big enough. So what is to celebrate?

We consider bluesky as part of fediverse
gedaliyah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s not federated. There is no roadmap to actual federation.
The code is open, so it’s possible that some dedicated devs may one day spin up a version that is actually federated under a different name.

I see that I forgot to add a question mark and incurred the wrath of some very opinionated lemmy users.

Are those 2 networks federated ?
Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 2 months ago
like the recent video app, its just tapping into blueskys existing centralized feed, I dont like how bluesky pretends to be federated down to letting you use your own domain
Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 2 months ago
Its just a blueksy frontend with just pics I thought? Is the at protocol not open?
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I thought Bluesky was a messaging app like Twitter, not a code editor.

Of course we didnt learn that centralization and billionaires are cancer. Lets build another centralized shithole.

This will keep happening until Lemmy etc. Have good UX
For the vast majority of users the UX just sucks for most of the fediverse
We need to push for or fund better UX
Anahkiasen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I feel like that depends on the frontend you use which is one of the coolest parts, using Photon phtn.app I find the UX actually better than Reddit’s
TORFdot0@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I can’t tell you how to on-boarding process is these days but the UX of using Lemmy via Voyager is even better than using Reddit. In fact Reddit killing Apollo (the app Voyager is based off of) is the whole reason I’m here
psoul@lemmy.world 2 months ago
LMAO the UX on Voyager, my lemmy client blows any reddit free client by a long shot. The UX is excellent. My experience here is much more enjoyable than it is on Reddit. No ads, no suggested content, easy to post, reply, add an image, edit, easy to navigate comments etc. Reddit sucks man.

The funny thing is that this is completely impossible. Only very few, very big or very lucky projects have decent ux and i would even ague that they are THAT much better than proprietary stuff under the hood that they are still comically bad in comparison to their technical prowess.
The reason for this - and yes you will probably disagree - is the shit legislation we have accepted over the past decades. People got addicted to overpolished shitapps with gambling mechanics and dark patterns. The way out is gonna be brutal.
So no, we wont get better ux, preriod. We pay for it or we get buttfu**ed by big tech some more. One way to ensure payment is voting as comically left as you can.

Misskey is fine on computer browsers (minus the absurd javascript resource hog, the page’s first load is slow as fuck), but I don’t think it has any decent FOSS app, mastodon apps don’t necessarily connect to misskey
onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 months ago
Some people never do 🤷 I’m just wondering what people will do once BlueSky becomes the shithole we expect it to be. Maybe by then people will see the fediverse as the next place to swarm?

Well hello there! Long time no see.
Yeah, lets see what happens.
