people are not ready for exactly how anticlimactic bsky-sans-bsky is going to be
8 17 229Samuelturns out you can actually make decentralised social that doesn’t make a bunch of fundamental compromises that makes the UX suck ass. who knew!
4 5 150Samuelanti-climactic = good, to be clear. your reaction to being on a different appview should be “wait, what changed? it seems to be exactly the same in every single way?”

fig (aka:[phil])ok but for real the level of insecurity whenever something in the different appview works, of “shit did it actually work or somehow revert to bsky’s appview”
it’s indistinguishable.

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦Lol yeah, I was thinking about how I can make sure - there are probably some differences in the JSON response structure because of missing features in AppViewLite, right? Or at least it shouldn't have label info there.

Everett Bogue 🔵I disagree, I think atproto reached a significant milestone today that the Mastohater crowd will have a difficult time overcoming unless they start thinking about being distributed

shreyan (wise)not to be that person but you're always making fundamental compromises, just different ones! not a bad thing but
1 11Samueloh I know we just make the ones that don’t make the UX suck ass, is what I’m saying
1 19shreyan (wise)i agree w/ that fully - i think i wrote about this a bit, where nostr and atproto basically start from the same place but then when making compromises nostr chooses purity and atproto chooses good ux

Joé McKenAh, but anticlimactic bsky-sans-bsky is precisely what I hope for 😉
Srsly, I dream of the day when all sorts of communities set up shop on ATproto, with users empowered to connect (or not!) with whomever they want, anywhere they want, all without any direct involvement from Bluesky Social, PBC.
1 10Joé McKenOne great thing Mastodon has that Bsky (currently) lacks is a broad and varied network with all kinds of servers/communities centered around all kinds of interests. The problem with Masto’s approach is that server admins decide who their own users can or can’t connect with, leading to fragmentation.
2 13Joé McKenHaving communities set up their own non-Bsky servers, and composable moderation giving users the ability to connect with whomever they want without server admin restrictions, is the real decentralized-social-media dream for me.
Seeing steps taken towards that is heartening.

gu3stLack of portability made mastodon bad to me. I made an acct with a server to test it out, then opted to self host (custom domain) and was annoyed that I lost my posts.
Then when maintaining my self hosted server became annoying (running out of disk, security updates) I abandoned Mastodon entirely
4I think the real question is BlueSky sans Jerry.

Jens StaalFeel like I lack context. I first thought about how difficult it has been to adopt fediverse (mastodon), which I think is mainly a UX/UI issue.
AP/bsky has had the advantage of a more familiar experience.
I would love to see some deeper AP/fediverse integration (the bridge works but meh)

Hedge Queen Aliceoh there's a different appview available now? 👀 so porting accounts will actually work properly?
