Indefinite Haitus from Bluesky

I’m gonna be real about this, I’m stepping away from Bluesky for a while.

This wasn’t some quick decision. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and honestly, the direction they’re going with AI just doesn’t sit right with me. Letting AI create custom feeds in ways that can get around privacy… that’s a big deal. It makes me uncomfortable, and it feels like something that should’ve been handled way more carefully.

I care a lot about privacy and trust, and right now it feels like those things aren’t being respected the way they should be. It’s not just “oh it’s a new feature”, it actually affects how safe people feel on the platform.

So yeah, I’m taking a break. And I’m not planning to come back unless Bluesky actually acknowledges what they’ve done, apologizes to users, and shows they’re willing to fix it. Right now, it just feels like people’s concerns are being brushed off.

I’ve also been talking to some artists I know, and they’re genuinely upset about this too. A lot of them feel like AI stuff keeps getting pushed without thinking about how it impacts real creators. I feel the same way. I’m very much anti-AI when it comes to things like this, and it’s frustrating to watch it keep happening.

For now, I just need space from it.

I was on a #mastodon instance for a while, hosted by a tech Youtuber. When that instance shut down, I moved to another independently hosted mastodon instance, then decided to self-host a Pleroma (alternative to mastodon) server and have been on that ever since (a couple years).

#selfhost

Did you ever have one of these in your home?
Today's kids simply don't understand The Struggle.

I remember memorizing all my friends' phone numbers, and when I tried to call a girl, I had to speak to their Dad first because he always answered the phone.

Mittlerweile gibt es so viele Journalisten im #Fediverse, dass ich mich echt frage, weshalb nicht viel mehr darüber geschrieben wird in den grossen Medien. Nein, alles was gross publiziert wird sind #fckTrump, #fckBigTech, #fckAI etc.

Wenn sich die Journis hier mal zusammentun würden und mal organisiert über längere Zeit über das Fediverse schreiben würden, sähe es bzgl. Anzahl Nutzer:innen hier vermutlich ganz anders aus.

There's "communities" for nearly everything on the #Fediverse. It is a strange misconception that a server software like Mastodon was something like a centralized #server #instance that was required to "allow" for anything, or could "prohibit" it, for everybody.

On the Fediverse, your server instance can allow or prohibit anything, just like any other instance. When your topic is hated on most other instances, there might be good reasons for that, though.

Still you can even run your very own instance fully dedicated to ShittyTopic™. It's just that nobody is obliged to listen to you, or to say friendly things about it, or to never block your instance.

Fedi people what’s your opinion about Bluesky having AI site that creates custom feeds?

#fediverse #community

I have decided to remain on the fediverse due to the fact that Bluesky has official marked their future towards AI. I hate AI-generated and to see that on Bluesky is so weird.

I was dumb at first but when I met artists there I said to myself to stay there for a bit. After my art is done I will disactivate my bluesky account for a bit

#fediverse #community

Pro Feditips:
You can set up any instance you want, write anything you want.
If someone wants to follow that, they can.
If 99% of us want to block you & defederate from your instance, maybe examine why we react that way & fix your behavior!

Hey #Fediverse! See you all at the 1985 California Computer Show.

#UNIX #RetroComputing

Alt...

Advertisement for the California Computer Show, May 14th–15th, 1985, 12:00pm–6:00pm, at the Palo Alto Hyatt Hotel, 4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California. "California Computer Show" is written in large pink cursive script with drop shadows over a gray grid pattern. Tagline at the bottom reads: "Northern California's only TWO-DAY event dedicated exclusively to OEMs and sophisticated end users."

When someone asks me what the #Fediverse, #Mastodon or #ActivityPub is I'll use this illustration from UNIX Review, April 1985.

#UNIX

Alt...

Illustration showing multiple beige desktop computers floating among clouds in an open sky, connected to each other by thin golden lines forming a network, with one large computer in the foreground emitting a burst of colorful rainbow light rays from its screen.

This is how I toot.

(Amiga World magazine, March 1988)

#Mastodon #Fediverse

Alt...

A soft-toned editorial illustration showing a person standing in a dark room beside a desk with a vintage PC and keyboard, shouting into the space through a megaphone filled with scattered 3.5-inch floppy disks floating like stars in a night sky.

When my posts federate between #Mastodon servers on the #fediverse.

UNIX Review, May 1985.

#UNIX

Alt...

Two silhouetted businessmen with computer monitors for heads shaking hands against a layered pink and purple geometric backdrop, briefcases at their sides.

How #BlueSky users describe what using #Mastodon and the #Fediverse is like.

UNIX World, Sept. 1985.

#UNIX #RetroComputing

Alt...

A vintage print advertisement for Celerity Computing's C1200 workstation, headlined "Tomorrow's Engineering Tool — Today." Features photos of the beige computer system with a color monitor displaying a 3D CAD rendering of a satellite dish, alongside a person using the keyboard. Body copy touts UNIX 4.2 BSD, 32-bit architecture, and 2.3 million Whetstones/second performance. Contact information for offices in San Diego, Framingham, Houston, Farmington Hills, Woodland Hills, and Santa Clara.

Still wondering why so many languages don't filter out based on my language settings on mastodon.

#fediverse

The fact that Bluesky said that they hate AI generated content. Now they are hosting AI website to "create custom feeds"

Many people on Bluesky are giving their opinions about the AI site that Bluesky Devs are working on

I am worried if Bluesky will turn into Twitter. They are speedrunning their downfall

In Gesprächen mit #SocialMedia-Leuten hören wir oft
„Ja, auf #Mastodon umzustellen, ist wichtig. Es gibt aber gerade wichtigere Dinge, die vorgehen.“

Nun haben wir die Situation, dass ein an einer schweren Persönlichkeitsstörung erkrankter US-Präsident mit Hilfe von #Wahlbeeinflussungen durch #Facebook

und später durch #X

ins Amt gekommen ist, und der Rest der Welt erheblich davon betroffen ist.

Wir zahlen höhere Preise für #Mobilität, Lebensmittel und noch viel mehr (einige 10 - einige 100 €/Person/Monat). Erhebliche Kosten entstehen der Gesellschaft durch den #Klimawandel, den die US-Administration krass verschärft (Mrd €/Jahr). Viele Menschen in den #USA haben ihre Jobs verloren, viele Menschen in #Nahost sogar ihr Leben.

Ist die Neuordnung der sozialen Medien nicht eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben, der wir uns zuwenden müssen?

Viele Leute im #Fediverse sehen das sicher auch so.
Aber wie kriegen wir den Punkt in die Köpfe der politischen Entscheider?

RE: https://social.coop/@scottjenson/116352800579635299

There are valid reasons why AI companies and tech bros are not welcome here, as well as people who are defending them or trying to rationalize the use of bourgeois technology that is unethical, causing the rapid issues of AI vandals running rampant, AI bots that scraps data to be trained without permission, use of AI by companies to do mass layoff and therefore the higher count of unemployment, AI "artist" that clutter streaming platforms, and more problems.

@scottjenson@social.coop

As this conversation is spiraling a bit I want to make a few things clear:
1. I'd like Mastodon to be MORE inclusive and bring in more voices
2. Some people don't seem to want that
3. This is core problem to solve: How do we let more in, but not "pollute" your feed?
4. The solution is NOT "gatekeeping", revelling in the fact that AI journalists aren't welcome
5. This is the same reason we lost "Black Twitter" when it came over in 2022

Yes, a lot of you don't want AI posts in your feed (or pick any other topic) but the solution isn't to keep "AI People" from joining Mastodon, any more than it is keeping marginalized communities off of Mastodon.

EDIT: Thread where this occurred: https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/116306052774186536

Fedi friend of mine @kkarhan@infosec.space got his account suspended because the admin of that instance is an absolute jackass, gave him 7 days to move instances before he suspended him for no reason.

Please, go show him support and follow his new account at @kkarhan@jorts.horse, he's an awesome guy to follow!!

(Also, this should be obvious but do not harass the admin of the infosec instance.)
