Oh my. Good luck!

So none of these images are from the actual site right?

Its my home too. Does this make us flatmates?

I think at lemmy it makes more sense to have a sign for not sarcastic. Maybe ~/s~

Same. The fediverse brought me here!

To me she looks the best when she just woke up. All messy and wild. How nature intended her to be.

Setting of a the positive feedback loop of love:

1. You’re happy because she’s happy
2. She’s happy because you’re happy

Capitalism is not just echange of goods and services for monetary reward. Its also the separation of labour from the means of production, the ensuing necessity of labour to sell their labour for a wage, and their ability to spend that wage freely at an open market.

What are the most important “points of control” that, in the case of Bluesky, are in the hands of this one company, and in the case of Mastodon (or the Fediverse at large?), are in the hands of the community?

It appears that on Bluesky, similar to Mastodon, you can start your own server by now. But on Bluesky you’re not (yet) able to have other users sign up to that server? And you can’t have your own moderation rules on your own server (yet)?

If I would start my own Bluesky server, and a friend does as well, would our ability to communicate be somehow still at the mercy of choices by the Bluesky company?

What is the practical difference between the AT protocol being controlled by a (public benefit) corporation, and it being controlled by a web standards body?

Disclaimer: I’m not a secret Bluesky fanboy. I just want to have the arguments ready to convince friends to not join Bluesky, and join Mastodon instead.
