By the way, Whitewind requires you to accept their privacy policy just to read a blog post.
This is what it looks like.
You can use this website to bypass it.
- Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized? 1 week ago:
That is by design. From a user’s perspective, the only indication that Bluesky is
decentralizedfederated is the option to select a different “hosting provider” when logging in. - Comment on Activity Pub: Can I join a PeerTube or Mastodon server using a Lemmy account? 1 week ago:
I think it’s reasonable to assume that when OP asked about “joining” each platform, they wanted to use each platform natively.
- Comment on Activity Pub: Can I join a PeerTube or Mastodon server using a Lemmy account? 1 week ago:
No. For each Mastodon, Lemmy, or Peertube server you want to join, you need a separate account on the server.

I don’t care

I don’t know what the point of the gif is, so I’m not going to respond to it.
Is Matrix federated? That’s also centralized

There’s way more to Wafrn than that, and it’s extremely interesting.
You can treat Wafrn like an independent ATProto platform (like Blacksky). It has its own PDS and AppView (which uses Blacksky’s Relay), so it’s not at all dependent on Bluesky for obtaining posts (assuming those posts are also published on an independent PDS).
What’s unique is that Wafrn is actually ActivityPub-first, meaning it doesn’t have any issue interacting with Mastodon users, but doesn’t have all the same characteristics of a normal ATProto platform. For example must have your account on Wafrn in order to use it (as opposed to blacksky.community, which lets you sign in with an existing account on another ATProto platform); you can, however, sign into bsky.app (or blacksky) with an account created on Wafrn.

Could people in states blocked by the main network use it through these?
Yes, and they wouldn’t even need to migrate their accounts to do so (although they probably should).
- Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized? 1 week ago:
Fediverse Reports regularly talks about updates with ATProto, and I found this blog post mentioned in another blog post from WeDistribute.
The most interesting development as of late is the progress of Blacksky. It is the first major attempt at creating an independent “Bluesky Instance”–where in that it’s functionally the same as Bluesky but doesn’t rely on any of Bluesky’s infrastructure.
There is also Wafrn, which is really hard to explain.
- Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized? 1 week ago:
ideally they would close signups and suggest people signup on alternatives instead
Is that what you would actually expect Bluesky to do if they were committed to decentralization?

Also bluesky isnt part of the fediverse so this doesnt even really belong in here…
There are four other posts about Bluesky or ATProto on the front page of !fediverse@lemmy.world (when viewed from lemmy.zip), so I guessed otherwise.

I’d like to see what the metrics for the Fediverse would look like if it included federated Threads users.
- Comment on How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse. 1 week ago:
I’m just going to respond to what you said before you edited your comment to be a reaction gif.
Since (as of November of last year) a majority of Bluesky’s user base is non-technical, they have don’t have the knowledge or motivation to switch to another PDS. If 30 million users joined mastodon.social, the fediverse would also be centralized.
The only way for Bluesky to be decentralized by the metrics you use is for them to force users onto other PDSes.

Ok but it’s federated.

At no point in this conversation did I ever rely on my own credibility to make an argument.

There are already “other Blueskies” out there, and you can already port your identity to them.

Google really seems to want to disincentivize people paying for YouTube Premium rather than just downloading an ad blocker.

The tradeoffs Bluesky made to achieve that means that Bluesky doesn’t have private posts. In fact, Bluesky doesn’t have private blocks.

- Comment on Mastodon admins can now bridge entire instances to Bluesky 4 weeks ago:
It’s two way bridging. The issue is that Bluesky users also must opt-in to having their posts be bridged to Mastodon.
- Comment on Mastodon admins can now bridge entire instances to Bluesky 4 weeks ago:
I actually still don’t understand why one would be in favor of federation but opposed to bridging. In esscence, bridging is just federation.
- Comment on Mastodon admins can now bridge entire instances to Bluesky 4 weeks ago:
Why?
- Comment on Should large Fediverse instances and Bluesky encourage, not require, users to opt-in to bridges that connect to Bluesky and other non-fedi social web platforms? 4 weeks ago:
I do wish that Lemmy instances would do this.
