There is still an active debate about whether Bridgy Fed should be opt-in or opt-out. As far as I can tell, however, they are working on implementing instance-level opt-in, meaning Gargon would have the ability to automatically enable bridging for mastodon.social users.

Most of them are joking about reuniting with their Chinese spy

In all likelihood, Red Note will be banned banned, probably before the Red Note devs add a built-in translate function.

The person who posted it in my community copied and pasted the text. Idk if I should remove that post to avoid copyright issues, but here it is I guess.

Since when is Bluesky rightist?

A TikTok ban would consolidate more power into the hands of Mark Zuckerberg and Meta. Arguably, that’s worse.

Calling China “West Taiwan” undermines Taiwanese independence.

That’s a misreading of the headline. Pro-LGBT speech IS allowed, but often suppressed.

DuckDuckGo and Kagi managed to figure this out. Bing is the odd one out.

They should probably just make that the default homepage at this point

If Bluesky goes, Lemmy will be my permanent home

It has Bluesky support. Neat!

It’s pretty concise, actually.

This is only great news if you are Mark Zuckerberg and you want a near-monopoly on social media.

1. As far as I know, there aren’t any yet. Even if there were, I personally wouldn’t trust them for the same reason I wouldn’t use any Mastodon instance besides mastodon.social: if the PDS shuts down abruptly, your account is gone forever.
2. Bluesky and ATProto are designed specifically to hide the ways in which it’s decentralized.
3. I think this post does a good job visualizing how AtProto is different from ActivityPub.

This is for if you want to host parallel infrastructure. If you only want to self-host your own data, the instructions create a PDS are here, and the instructions to migrate an existing Bluesky account to that PDS are here.

Blame Apple I guess

Bluesky is way more approachable than Mastodon. Most people don’t want to have to learn what an instance is.

I’m begging google to just bring back YouTube Premium Lite and expand it

I think it belongs at the very bottom of the page.
