Senaste krönikan i ETC kritiserar allas hang-up kring vilken plattform för sociala medier som kommer "vinna".

Personligen hoppas jag att alla förlorar, ungefär lika mycket.

Problemet med Bluesky

Att motstå lusten att växa och överleva är en nyckel till vår demokratiska framtid.

🌐 Beyond Bluesky: The Rise of Decentralized Social Apps

The AT Protocol (ATProto), the open foundation behind Bluesky, is becoming a launchpad for next-gen social apps.

Some standout innovations:
・Flashes: A photo/video-sharing platform reminiscent of classic Instagram
・Spark: A video-first app with livestreaming on the way
・Streamplace: Livestreaming built with cryptographic creator protections
・Graze: Build, customize, and monetize your own social feeds

This signals a shift toward user-owned, open social ecosystems—a strong contrast to walled-garden platforms. Developers, creators, and users alike are embracing interoperability, privacy, and creative freedom.

A year ago, Bluesky was opening up to the public and was known as one of the many X competitors that emerged after Elon Musk acquired the network formerly

New: Fediverse Report 109

This week, an essay about #Bluesky's proposal for setting user preferences on their accounts. This allows people to indicate how they want their data to be handled off-protocol. I wrote about how the #fediverse can improve on this, using its strengths of many different communities, each with its own culture and values.

Also:
- Next week is the digital conference @fediforum
- A research dataset to compare Threads and Mastodon users

⚠️ Important info for Bluesky users:

Due to the fact that #Bluesky has the same capitalist revenue model as Twitter/X and Meta, we will soon stop crossposting this channel. Be welcome to follow us directly from Mastodon: joinmastodon.org.

#Bluesky nominally has the capacity to be decentralized, in practice, it's fully centralized. What led @vortex to call it "federation washing".

But what about #blacksky? Is this a working example of #decentralization of Bluesky?

On the level of technical infrastructure, it's a service built on top of Bluesky, on a social level, it's clearly distinct (different feeds, moderation, social user basis).

In terms of building a space of a large minority community, it seems to have succeeded where Mastodon failed so far,. And it might even be large enough to decentralize the infrastructure as well.
