I still can't figure out how to use the Tumblr-style hashtags we were promised
So weird people downvoting this. Whatβs the reason?
People will downvote anything for any reason. Maybe they don't like seeing posts about Bluesky on !all when they use Scaled sort?
I only browse all, with a very long block list. I don't even know what scaled sort is, I'm using 'active' and saw this about 5 scrolls down this morning.
I upvoted though, I have a bluesky account, but I'm just interested in all federated technology. You can't seperate good from bad if you only live in an echo chamber.
Aside from what Airportline mentions, there's also an undercurrent of skepticism surrounding Bluesky Social's company, Bluesky PBC, given its founding by former head and co-founder of Twitter Jack Dorsey, and his presence on its board.
Alongside that, there's skepticism concerning the AuthTransfer protocol as a whole in regards to its capacities to handle moderation, enable broad network distribution (or decentralization), and a variety of other details I'm either not aware of or may be forgetting.
