Perhaps I should say here what I've said before in conversation with folks: I would actually love to join Bluesky, and I plan to do that.

Since the very early days of Mastodon being a thing, I could spin up a Mastodon server, and my friend could spin up a Mastodon server, and we could have a conversation without Eugen's infrastructure being involved.

So. I'm going to make a Bluesky-accessible account on the day I can connect with someone over ATProto, using the same UI and having a similar experience as someone using a "normal" (Bluesky-hosted) flow, without Bluesky-the-company, or any big company aside from those already implicated in Internet access in general, being involved.

Not *everyone*, some people are on bsky.network the same way some people are on mastodon.social, but *someone*. Today that's not possible, and to me, that's clearly a *centralized* system.

But becoming active on weirder.earth again reminded me that the thing I love about the fediverse, much more than anything technical, is the social structures it enables and, even, encourages. It is not just necessary but *enjoyable* to have a little online community that shares the same little island in a sea of similar, but distinct, little communities. It's *fun*. So much else about the Internet doesn't feel fun anymore, and I mourn some of that whimsy.

💰 Spain is done with AI slop and disinfo

「 The Spanish bill, which needs to be approved by the lower house, classifies non-compliance with proper labelling of AI-generated content as a "serious offence" that can lead to fines of up to 35 million euros ($38.2 million) or 7% of their global annual turnover 」
