Hey gang,
Long time no see!
I was not able to work a lot on #DhaagaApp this year.
But, I have been doing a lot of catching up this entire month.
I am slowing down on the experimentation phase and focusing on ironing out the existing modules and features.
The app will also receive official #bluesky support before this #christmas !
Also, check out these cool app skins, which will also be included:

Has anyone written up an analysis of these issues, both pro/con of shared block lists? I'm not asking for a huge discussion, I just expect there are a few writeups on this topic and I'm looking for links.
Bluesky "weakened" their age gate in their mobile app.
I can now see posts in the Bluesky app again.

Hi there!
In order to provide an age-appropriate experience, we need to know your birthdate. This is a one-time thing, and your data will be kept private.
Set your birthdate below and we'll get you back to posting and exploring in no time!

Bluesky "weakened" their age gate in their mobile app.
I can now see posts in the Bluesky app again.
Is it correct to say the #Fediverse and #BlueSky are "federated" by protocol bridges? I have similar question related to #Nostr and #Threads and other bridged protocols. Given the #Fediverse is #ActivityPub, what this larger federated social web called?
The Bluesky Android mobile app is telling me I cannot use Bluesky unless I provide my date of birth.
(I haven't looked at Bluesky in a while — so, this might not be a new thing.)
I wonder if you can get around this by just installing an alternative (3rd party) Bluesky mobile app.

It looks like you haven't added your birthdate. You must provide an accurate date of birth to use Bluesky.

I think Matrix still has my favorite decentralized service username schema. 
@user:domain.tld makes a lot of intuitive sense to me and looks really clean. It's really clear which part is the username and which is the domain without looking repetitive. It starts with an @ so it tells clients to pull up the username lookup when you start typing, but it doesn't get kludgy like other username schemas do.
user@domain.tld makes sense for email I guess because you can't really @ people inline, but it doesn't work well for other services because it doesn't start with an @ so it doesn't indicate to the client to pull up the username lookup. I'm curious how XMPP handles this. 
@user@domain.tld that Fedi uses looks awful to me. I hate the double @'s, it just doesn't scan very well and looks silly. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like my username is being flanked by boobies. 
(Technically Fedi uses WebFinger/the email schema under the hood from the last example and the double @'s are just user-facing in order to trigger the inline username lookup, but meh, I'm including it.)
@domain.tld that Bluesky uses seems clean on the surface, but then you realize your username is (usually) just a domain name which is... weird. 
Then you're stuck making a subdomain for your username if you couldn't get a dedicated domain for it, so then it becomes @user.domain.tld or even @user.subdomain.domain.tld which is just, like, idk a lot of dots. 
It makes sense for ATProto because of how the DIDs work, but it's still not my favorite.
I know I've made this ramble before but I'm like Fedi handles where I'm hopelessly repetitive 
#Matrix #MatrixChat #Federation #Fedi #Mastodon #ActivityPub #Bluesky #ATProto
If you are bridging your Fediverse account with https://fed.brid.gy/ to bluesky, you can also make a custom username for the bridged bluesky handle, if you have a domain.
This is my bridged Pixelfed account:

I still have to do this for my Mastodon account...

NEW #BLOG POST ON UNTILTED.LOL AND DOTART.BLOG/UNTILTED: "Some Good News, Along With Some Bad News (and Clarification)"

The vision of #ActivityPub AFAIK is that social media servers would be as ubiquitous as websites and email servers and just as independent. That's not the goal of #bluesky relays or any other social media model I'm aware of.
Am I wrong to think that matters in regards to free speech and #DemocracyOfReach? Is it somehow unworkable? Or are there other goals that people think matter more? What am I missing? #SocialWeb
看了这几篇文章，我又想重新托管部署bluesky了 
虽然bluesky的invaild handle让我在深夜两点还在用termius的我崩溃 
1. pds 个人数据服务器 https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds 继续选择docker部署
2. bsky.app在中国大陆被墙了，https://whtwnd.com/ 是类似bsky.app的AppView，但是功能风格大不一样
3. AppView自托管 每天大约需要 2.2GB 的磁盘空间，感觉开销还是有点大的 https://github.com/alnkesq/AppViewLite
4. 最好的关于bsky的解释，很高兴看到某些社交软件慢慢能够互通，又与第五条有些冲突了 https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/1lic376/bluesky_is_more_open_than_you_think/
5. 非常好的介绍各种去中心化服务的去中心化程度reddit例外，我很喜欢lemmy，但是单人lemmy实在太难运行下去了，除非将lemmy作为博客来写，就算这样我也只坚持了3个月 https://github.com/NoBadDays/decentralization-score/blob/main/decentralization_score_2025.04.md
在我看来bsky的自托管和去中心化确实很低，大多数都是用于逃离twitter的普通用户
Mastodon/fediverse peeps who come across Bluesky accounts that are bridged (i.e. using Bridgy Fed), how do you feel about them and their posts?
Please boost widely, I’m trying to get input from more than just my followers. 🙏

There was never any reason to trust #Bluesky , you just move from one shitty trend to another.
I am honest with you because I love you.

Over on #Bluesky there was a bit of a controversy over the suspension of Sarah Kendzior. I thought it was an interestingly nontrivial moderation problem, so I wrote up a little case study on how this would have been handled on Mastodon: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/11/13/Kendzior-Case-Study

I found a really nice app which combines #rss #mastodon #twitter #Bluesky in one beautiful view.
It is also #opensource and available on #android #ios #mac #windows
Also has the benefit of getting Twitter without ads ☺️

nah, it really doesn't makes sense to live on two different open social platforms separately. #activitypub & #atproto both great, but lacking proper interactions, so really #wafrn it is. hands down. now i'll migrate the follows from all the wanderings i had on those platforms.
btw however niche, it would be nice if we had #movim support too (
@movim). but that is #xmpp based, which would require a #jabber server, which wouldn't be that bad for users, but afaik there are no messaging bridges/gateways for #atproto and #activitypub. only #bluesky on #matrix. but #xmpp-#matrix exists.
Had some DMs wasting away in my X inbox, I'm not sure how useful it is to say it here but I don't check those.
I'm sure I've said it before, but #Mastodon remains and will remain my primary social media outlet.
I cross post occasionally to #Bluesky. If that's your thing, you can follow me here: https://bsky.app/profile/esq.social
I maintain a LinkedIn account as well: http://linkedin.com/in/aleahey/
My email is findable as well.
Corporate, algorithmic social media (#Meta / #TikTok / #BlueSky) will always snitch on you as soon as someone asks them to. They’ll just comply in advance or suspend your account yet people still use them.
The same folks who insist on using these platforms “because of reach” are also the ones posting uncensored photos of themselves and friends at protests, again snitching on themselves and others irresponsibly as well as sharing their device contact list with these apps. https://mastodon.social/@verge/115435202283610716
It's my third #mastodonniversary today! Crazy!!
To celebrate I am getting ready to help host and chair the first #SocialBC and Society of Open Social Servers of BC Annual General Meeting tomorrow with

There are three types of “Hero's Journey Capitalism”, from what I can tell.
1. #Capitalism disguised as revolution (#Meta)
2. Capitalism disguised as socialism. (#Bluesky)
3. Capitalism disguised as religion. (#OpenAI )
Each having significant overlap, of course.
While React Native <Text> components do support a `selectable` prop, you can only copy the whole block of text.
BlueSky wrote an awesome library to handle proper selection as most users desire.
Now using it in the new Loops app, and soon in the Pixelfed app ✨
#Bluesky – the dream is over
#Autumn is coming… and not only outside, but also in my #socialmedia world. Yet again I’m at the point of leaving a platform. And this time it’s Bluesky – this once promising alternative to #Twitter, that wanted to be a safe place for #exchange, #creativity and #respectfulness. But what just happened there, is everything but that. https://text.tchncs.de/newcontinent/bluesky-the-dream-is-over
WIRED: Would you welcome president Trump if he was debating joining bluesky?
@jay.bsky.teamJay 🦋: Yeah, #bluesky is for everyone.
...
I understand that #ATproto should be for everyone, but decentralization means you don't have to allow everyone on your server. They can run their own and everyone can decide how to deal with that. The company doesn't need to make these decisions. She knows this.
I doubt 
@GargronEugen Rochko would welcome him on #mastodon infrastructure.

Today, senior executives from CBC/RadioCanada came to testify before the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications. I had the chance to ask a lot of questions. But I made sure to ask why the CBC is still committed to X - and why they haven't investigated Mastodon (and Bluesky). Here's my exchange with CEO Marie-Philippe Bouchard and Editor in Chief

Manche verlassen diese Tage und Wochen enttäuscht Bluesky und kehren ins Fediverse zurück. Die MAGA-Bewegung macht sich dort breit. Nur ein weiterer Ort der Schreihälse, des Hasses und der Desinformationen, unterstützt durch Algorithmen.
Deshalb baute ich meine Bridge zu Bluesky schon vor einiger Zeit wieder ab. Diesem Netzwerk möchte ich keine Inhalte liefern.
Ist ja nun nicht so, als ob niemand von Anfang an genau vor einer solchen Entwicklung gewarnt hätte.
Warum #Bluesky vor seiner ultimativen Zerreissprobe steht und aus Angst vor Regulierung komplett eingeknickt ist... also vor der MAGA-Blase.
Das "etwas andere" Netzwerk ist vor allen Dingen eines: eine durch VCs gepushte US-Plattform, auf die ich zu lange reingefallen bin.
Mein oeffentlicher Abschiedsbrief in Richtung der dortigen Community und mein Hallo in Richtung #Mastodon und #Fediverse
Gerne teilen. Danke 🙏

Bluesky hat gerade damit begonnen, Dutzende von Konten aus Trumps Regime offiziell zu hosten und zu verifizieren, darunter das Weiße Haus, Homeland Security / ICE, das Kriegsministerium usw. (https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115393404732174116).
*Alle* diese Konten verbreiten #Fanatismus, #Hass und gefährliche #Lügen über #schutzbedürftige Gruppen.
Wir befinden uns in einer Situation wie in den 1930er Jahren, und #Bluesky entscheidet sich dafür, abscheulichen Hass zu hosten. Es schlägt denselben Weg ein wie Twitter/X.
hab den hype um #bluesky nie kapiert.
Bluesky has just started officially hosting and verifying dozens of accounts from Trump's regime including the Whitehouse, Homeland Security / ICE, the Department of War etc (https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115393404732174116).
*All* of these accounts are spreading bigotry, hatred and dangerous lies about vulnerable groups.
It is NOT enough to just "block and forget", here's why: https://social.chinwag.org/@FediThing/112581263140051643
This is a 1930s moment, and #Bluesky is choosing to host vile hatred. It is going down the same path as Twitter/X.
