FYI https://github.com/chetmurthy/myxogastria/tree/main/docs This collection of documents describes a design for a Twitter replacement system, "Myxogastria". Alternate name "Linepithema". High-Level Goal of the Design The goal of this design a system that will feel like Twitter to users — from the POV of what data they see, what interactions they can perform — and yet will be fully federated and sharded, in the sense that a typical instance (in the sense of Mastodon) need not contain more than a small fraction of the entire data-set of the system. It is also designed to be efficient and wherever possible to not repeat computations, repeat data transfers, that were already performed.
Would be good to see >1 client on AT Protocol as it would get closer to the idea of decentralisation. But I think we should also be careful on what we refer to as decentralisation. POS system lived up to the idea of decentralisation of blockchains, but it misused to pump and dump tokens. One reason Mozilla is going for Mastadon I’d reckon, is because they have full control over the users including viewing their private messages. The nuances of the protocol in this case becomes critical.
Bluesky is worse than 4chan. The criminal activity taking place is a haven for violence and murder. Bluesky doesn’t follow data or privacy laws and has no moderation. The new mute list feature is another tactic that will be weaponized to harass people with no ability to remove yourself from it. I am emailing everyone and telling them to delete their account. the app is so dangerous.
