Neulich auf #bsky eine Aussage einer Frau gesehen, sinngemäß "Ich kenne keine Frau, die einen Mann sexuell belästigt hat".
Das mag für die die Aussage treffende Frau stimmen.
Es gibt trotzdem ziemlich widerliche "Ich kenne keinen Mann, der einer Frau gegenüber übergriffig wurde"-Vibes ab.
Es ist schön, wenn man als Frau keine andere Frau kennt, die Täterin geworden ist. Daraus zu schließen, dass es das nicht gibt, ist aber einfach nur dumm.
"As Bluesky matures, the company needs a seasoned operator focused on scaling and execution, while I return to what I do best: building new things."

Bin zurzeit nicht so präsent, weil bei mir im #RL immer noch die Luft brennt.
Meine Accounts bei #Bsky #Facebook #TwitterNix / #X etc. sind deaktiviert, bzw. gelöscht.
Ähnlich einem Drohnenschwarm werden meine Accounts in sozialen #Medien von Anzeigen (§188 StGB und so) gegen meine Person überflutet.

One of the places where many are hoping Bluesky and the ATmosphere improves is — DID-PLC.
DID-PLC and the centralized server https://plc.directory are at the core of what identity on Bluesky and the ATmosphere is based on.
Unfortunately it is centralized — which is a problem if you are trying to build a decentralized social-networking platform.

Social Media Payments and Perverse Incentives
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/02/social-media-payments-and-perverse-incentives/At the recent "Protocols for Publishers" event, a group of us were talking about news paywalls, social media promotion, and the embarrassment of having to ask for money.
What if, we said, you could tip a journalist directly on social media? Or reward your favourite creator without leaving the platform? Or just say thanks by buying someone a pint?
Here's a trivial mock-up:
Of course, this hides a ton of complexity. Does it show your local currency symbol? Does the platform take a cut or does it just pass you to the poster's preferred platform? Do users want to be able to tip as well as / instead of reposting and favouriting?
But I think the real problem is the perverse incentives it creates. We already know that relentless A|B testing of monetisation strategies leads to homogeneity and outrage farming. Every YouTuber has the same style of promotional thumbnail. Rage-baiters on Twitter know what drives the algorithm and pump out unending slurry.
Even if we ignore those who want to burn the world, content stealers like @CUTE_PUPP1E5 grab all the content they can and rip-off original creators. At the moment that's merely annoying, but monetisation means a strong incentive to steal content.
When people inevitably get scammed, would that damage the social media platform? Would promoting a payment link lead to liability? Now that money is involved, does that make hacking more attractive?
And yet… Accounts add payment links to their profiles all the time. Lots of accounts regularly ask for donor and sponsors. GitHub sponsors exist and I don't see evidence of people impersonating big projects and snaffling funds.
It is somewhat common for platforms to pay for publishers to be on their site. If you're starting up a new service then you need to give people an incentive to be there. That might be as a payer or receiver.
Personally, I'd love a frictionless way to throw a quid to a helpful blog post, or effortlessly donate to a poster who has made me laugh. Selfishly, I'd like it if people paid me for my Open Source or (micro)blogging.
I don't know whether Mastodon or BlueSky will ever have a payments button - and I have no influence on their decision-making process - but I'd sure like to see them experiement.
You can read more discussion on Mastodon.

Sérieux vous devriez passer a #Nostr pour vos réseaux sociaux, c'est encore plus décentralisé que mastodon, on peut pas vous dégager votre compte, et en plus, les ordures Musk, Xin Jin Ping, ou meme Macron le déteste : c'est presque impossible a censurer 😸

Imagine, un•e cama est banni de #bsky, et toi tu te fais ban de #mastodon, ta tribu est séparée par la censure des admins

Imagine, un•e cama est banni de #bsky, et toi tu te fais ban de #mastodon, ta tribu est séparée par la censure des admins
Pour éviter ca, utilisons #Nostr un "bsky décentralisé" resistant a la censure, a la vérification d'âge, qui garde ton compte en vie dans toutes les situations, sans perdre des fonctions de modération, + sécurisé, autonome, et permet de recevoir des dons direct !
interesting. there are a few who follow my #bridgy_fed on #bsky but i can't interact unless they set up @bsky.brid.gy
Atheist Meme Library @atheistml.bsky.social provided this excellent Frank Zappa quote. i can't repost it over there, so thought i'd try sharing it here on #Mastodon 💙 #atheist #atheism

This will be the last #Mastodon post that will be bridged to #Bsky!
Choosing another protocol, okay sure we can work with that. But hosting and even verifying criminal orgs like #ICE is just a spit in the face
Almost everything is PUBLIC on Bsky, It's not a viable decentralized alternative, since hosting it all yourself would bankrupt almost anyone
So if you want to keep following me, please do join the #Fediverse https://mstdn.social/invite/C3pBKk4Y
Or better, host your own!

Kolejny odcinek wpadł - zapraszam do słuchania!

Ludzie piszą, że ten nowy dziwny pomysł UE na „platformę W”¹ to ma być kawałek #BSKY
https://szmer.info/post/11961836
Czy ktoś może bez fanboyowania powiedzieć mi co (poza ludnością która przyszła za politykami i mediami) ma BlueSky, a czego nie ma fedi? @psztymucel.bsky.social ? Szczególnie w sytuacji kiedy KE już ma ten swój eksperyment https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/public/local tutaj. Pod 100% własną kontrolą. Gdzie tu walka z BigTech?
¹ tylko mnie się to kojarzy z „w razie W”?
https://tangled.org/ #atproto with #bsky like architecture. Decentralized repo hosting with a centralized view & identity management. I am not sure how many will like it. #Federation #Git
