I have read it, and a lot of the problems have been addressed.
Bluesky is still very early. There was an awkward period where lemmy was mostly lemmy.ml.

I’m not trying to cherry pick anything, I’m just addressing arguments against it I have seen.

Well, that problem also exists with mastodon.social and a lot of the actual fediverse.
Its less distributed, but its still decentralised.

That is horribly centralised, but its not (imo) an essential part of the network.
They do intent to fix it at some point.

I don’t mean this in an agressive way, but did you really think I haven’t read that?

It should, yes.

I use reddit, but barely. Mostly for irish subreddits, the severance subreddit and r/guineapigs. And shilling lemmy of course ; )

I asked in the wafrn discord, they said it was for privacy. fwiw, they don’t show remote fediverse profiles either

Its censorship no matter what, but it doesn’t prove bluesky is centralised.

It is, but the fork could get rid of the login-wall.

All data on Atproto has to be public for it to work.

I am a leftist and a republican. 🇮🇪

Somebody could just use deer.social then.
All the data is available at https://clearsky.app/linuxfoundation.org/ or XRPC https://porcini.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.getRecord?repo=did%3Aplc%3Ah5hpocfxr26lrha2d6qwd2b7&collection=app.bsky.actor.profile&rkey=self

That’s a good question, as of now, its not possible without self hosting something.

deer.social is an alt-app, but it uses bsky’s relay iirc.

For wafrn? Yes. I don’t actually know their reasoning for it.

We were all redditors once (probably).

Bowls are merely just curved plates.

I do think neopronouns can be confusing, but it takes literally no effort to use it.
If you really must not use it you can just use singular they, or the person’s name.

Both are social constructs.
For example: the mammals class of animals is a social construct, While mammals would still have characteristics like being warm blooded, or not laying eggs, the classification wouldn’t exist if people didn’t invent it.
Its also not a perfect classification, platypuses lay eggs but are still classified as mammals.

Sex is the same, its people who have certain hormones, certain chromosomes or certain genetailia, but there can be people who don’t have the “Proper” chromosome / hormone for their sex, but they still are classified as male/female.

I think its important to look at what purpose a social construct serves, Mammals are a social construct, but they still serve a useful purpose (not saying sex/gender serves / doesn’t serve a useful purpose).

I see it like colours, there is an infinite amount of colours, but it makes sense to have a name for the common ones.

Supposedly, it will give everyone UBI through worldcoin.
This is so fucking stupid.

The purpose of a debate is to change the minds of those watching, not the person you are arguing with.
