Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter
Just in case there was any doubt about how Jack Dorsey really feels about Bluesky, the former Twitter CEO has offered new details on why he left the board and deleted his account.
Does not make me sad he's gone, tbh.
You're viewing a single thread.
One of the things he takes offence about is that Bluesy has moderation.
He should know that moderation is needed to be useable by nearly anyone.
I hope he realizes that having moderation isn't a choice social media websites get to make anymore. That's Apple and Google's choice now. Why? Because in order to have literally any userbase at all nowadays, you have to have an app. Websites barely get used in comparison to phone apps. And if you don't bother moderating your website and let people send things like racial slurs and child porn unabated, you get kicked off the app stores by Apple and Google. Not to mention that payment companies don't like those things either.
That situation (apple and Google as sole gatekeepers) is fucked up and should change with the new eu open markets legislation.
Yea... no moderation would mean flooding of ads, spam, porn, child porn, etc.
I think it's dumb af for someone like him to bitch about moderation.
Example:
https://kbin.social/m/opensource
Versus
https://sh.itjust.works/c/opensource@kbin.social
Yikes.
still new here-- how do you interact with kbin pages while being logged into a different instance? i'm on lemmy.zip and go subscribe and fetch intance but it says page not found
It works the same a a remote instance lemmy page.
Most likely .zip banned that community, which I'm also considering since it's mostly spam.
Actually, kbin itself is mostly spam lately
Actually, kbin itself is mostly spam lately
Yes. People over there should probably move to Mbin instances
thanks for the information! the fusillade of BUY MY XANAX ads reminded me of the old AIM days
I don't know if he's been taken out of context, but bluesky is supposed to have opt-out moderation, and the ability to opt-in to multiple moderation servers (a little like adlists in ublock et al), which doesn't seem like a terrible idea, but it sounds like they've gone further and completely removed stuff, because in reality it isn't decentralised at all.
Having the ability to opt out of moderation sounds very dangerous.
you can't opt out of bsky's own moderation if you want to use bluesky pbllc's infrastructure
As a member of some unmod groups back in the early internet I can't but concur
It can be safely done with very small, or very cool, groups of folks, but not on the open internet.
That's obviously untrue.
Listen, if you have nothing nice to say about me, then please keep your comments to yourself.
You're not being very nice, and I don't mean to be unladylike here because that's just not in my dainty character.
But I really think you need to get in touch more with your emotions and your feminine side. I don't know if you checked out my community yet called the delicate Daisy Den on hilarious chaos.com,
But I'd like to invite you to join us every Thursday for our friendship bracelet, making fueling exercises. You could certainly use some hugs and kisses of friendship yourself, mister man
Thanks for the invite but I'm good.
:'( ....
Oh dear... are you certain? I'm laying out all the beads and macrame in my friendship bracelet crafting room right now are you sure you can't join me?
Unless you're laying out an ounce of good drugs, I'm sure.
What is... happening?
What in the misogyny fried hell are you on about?
