People want Bluesky/ defed to be a magic cure and and it’s still people
Most of what is exciting about defed is focused on people who don’t actually use the thing and transferring the tech debt to users

People keep expecting Bluesky to be some safe haven from the issues on social media… but people aren’t gonna change from platform to platform. Your issue might just be with the people in general. Might be time to take a social media break lmao

Fun fact, this will never break because it will never “defed”. Whatever that means.

I gave him mod advice and he said he was proud of how I cared .
He also revealed that ATP protocol modding was effectively nuking people from defed

It’s now an excuse to segregate and justify bias
Because if you’re gung-ho on AI/ defed you’re probably already showing certain anti human traits

We aren’t on here because of “good vibes”
They are FACTUALLY making Laws to HUNT people and have made people on this site have to move states if not countries

That’s the ACTUAL scope of the problem
Stop giggling about giving access because you think folks are expendable

And please build the hell out of Blacksky and other places
And
If defed doesn’t have a transparent mods structure on all of those
… it won’t matter
And it’s going to punish those of us not tech savvy
And create a new portability moderation workload after devaluing both

Hi brain twin, because that’s the conclusion I’ve come to for defed and other things .
People love the idea of fighting a monster, but not the idea of fighting a former friend/ colleague
And one is much more likely to happen

I’ve been reading interview transcripts for a project and one person talked a lot about how in movement circles we prepare for what the state might do to our groups more than we prepare for what our groups, and the people in them, might do to each other and that often turns out to be backwards.

I have to write up a report on how we are failing Foucault and McLuhan with defed being layered as. Public square space and how
Yes
It’s racism
But also I’m really cute and someone should do my housekeeping shirtless and rub my feet

Nobody’s gonna check them, even the “good” defed lenses depend on a LOT of free labor and technocratic lack of context

And we’re gonna have a similar trust breakage when it comes to Defed but again people love the

Yeah the tech is cool but you’re dealing with terrified people who are basically digital refugees under encroaching authoritarianism after multiple catastrophes

Enshittification as the model is the problem .
Because it started shitty in such a way that multiple communities called it
And Bluesky used folks telling “they didn’t understand” as a shield
And little about defed or decentralized says they are really considering this

Moderation and curation was always the real draw of platforms and bluntly I don’t like defed because EVERYONE involves ignores the implications of technosolutionism
And
If I’m not willing to build it.
I gotta ride with it

The way I hit follow on you so fast because YES !!!! I’ve been trying across three chapters and two predictions to say something like this especially around how social media served as a public archive and how while defed has good points it’s missing that key aspect
*waves at you happily*
*waves at you happily*
The big archival question
My other concern is that venture capitalism already has a helluva track record (trying to) enclose and paywall cultural heritage.
Institutional archives are already elitist by nature. Techno-archives will be a privacy and authenticity nightmare.

( It’s also why I am alone in my weirdo corner of internet celebrity by how gross I find the No Masters framing in use around federation right now .. and why I don’t mind it in other places because what it really means in defed is “no masters but the technocrats” as opposed to a way of operating)

Because the real question is why is everyone talking to a lot of these pundits instead of looking for their audiences feelings
And why Republicans and technocrats are working so hard to silence/ silo those audiences
And why the “good guys “ ( via Defed ) ain’t even asking that question

If it makes you happy rock out! but between this and whatever happened this weekend at ATP ..
Defed is not a magic elixir against the very human drives of wanting recognition AND hierarchy , connection AND competition
And tech doesn’t change that

We're looking at theory versus practice here. In theory, ATProto would be better, but nobody else builds or hosts on it, apart from PDS self-hosters and some alternate appviews like Whitewind. In practice, despite the AP instance deaths and defed feuds, there's at least somewhere to leave to on AP.
