Bluesky posts are finally open to the public::Bluesky remains an invite-only decentralized Twitter alternative, but now, you don’t need to be logged in to be able to see posts on the platform. The app has a new logo, too.

Can someone explain to me how Bluesky is different than Mastodon and if it’s not different why they bothered creating it when Mastodon exists? I truly don’t get it.

It’s likely that when Bluesky rolls out in full, advertisers will have the ability to place ads in networks or user interest groups similar to Reddit’s framework. This user self-selection will be extremely useful to businesses running targeted campaigns.

So…Mastodon…with ads?

They built their own federated protocol and it's a microblog

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

it isn't very federal at the moment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

If AT protocol goes public, other software might federate with existing Bluesky servers. Bluesky servers should have a set of filters that would keep safe for everyone joining the chosen server.

Give Gargron time he'll add ads and buddy up with Meta while signing mystery NDAs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

He can add ads if he wants, and you can simply move to another ad-free instance.

That's a serious accusation. Got anything to back it up?
