Discovered this morning that Maven https://heymaven.com (a social media startup who's CEO is ex OpenAI "Ken Stanley: leading the Open-Endedness Team at OpenAI") is mass importing public posts from the #fediverse with no links back to the original and no way to delete them. It seems there is no Opt-out or Opt-in mechanism at all. It also has posts from #Bluesky pulled in via @bsky.brid.gy that are also not linked back to the original.

Here's an example: https://app.heymaven.com/profile/66927

The great #MastodonMigration after the #TwitterTakeover was accompanied by many helpful tools to find followers worth following.

With #Threads federating (partially) and #Bluesky bridged, I think we need new ones now. Are there any?

moderation isn't done on the PDS level, is it? I thought it was done seperately by moderation policies that each user can subscribe to?🤔 I'll tag this post and maybe we can get some answers.

#BlueSky #SocialMedia

Anyone have their #Fediverse servers bridging with #BlueSky at the moment? Have there been any technical difficulties, and can you choose which #ATProtocol #PDSes you can bridge to (as opposed to only the "main" PDS, bsky.app)?

I'm considering the pros and cons of bridging my ActivityPub instance to BlueSky PDSes except the "main" one, bsky.app.

It looks like I can even self-host a PDS now that they've dropped their ridiculous Discord requirement: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation

Ich hab da mal was zur #Brücke zwischen #Bluesky und #Mastodon geschrieben. Was sollte man da einmal im Blick behalten?

Das #Fediverse wächst: Nach #Threads auch Bluesky mit Mastodon verknüpfbar

Erste Threads-Accounts können für Mastodon geöffnet werden, nun geht das – sogar in beide Richtungen – auch mit Bluesky. Das ermöglicht interessante Szenarien.

And also in english:

The Fediverse is growing: After Threads, Bluesky can also be linked to Mastodon

First Threads accounts can be opened for Mastodon, now this is also possible - even in both directions - with Bluesky. This makes interesting scenarios possible.

Politics drives knowledge sharing across the Fediverse, Bluesky & Threads.

The team at The Newsmast Foundation are excited to share new, original research on the social web, communities, and how we all fit together!

So far, too many really evil people there. On the #Fediverse, there's some light at least.

#Bluesky has finally introduced their first version of Direct Messages, a feature the community has long asked for.

https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/bluesky-introduces-dms/

Bluesky Introduces Direct Messages

A recent update to Bluesky introduces a long-requested feature of the platform: Direct Messages! According to the developers, this implementation is pretty limited: messages are not end-to-end encrypt

^{Sean Tilley (We Distribute)}

UI differences are a big factor in the success/failure of decentralised federation of diverse platforms and content

And this seems a good example: bridged #mastodon posts onto #BlueSky which has a lower character limit than Mastodon.

So, just like #lemmy posts on mastodon, you don't get the full content of the post (which ends with an abrupt ellipsis here) and have to take a link to the original platform.

However powerful the underlying protocols, this isn't far from screenshots.

@fediverse

Bluesky now allows you to unpin or even remove the default "Following" feed and make any other custom feed the default one.

The "Following" feed is the chronological one by Bluesky but there's thousands of other custom algorithmic feeds created by other users and generated by federated third party servers.

#bluesky

Hat hier schon jemand die Brücke zwischen dem #Fediverse und #Bluesky ausprobiert?

#BridgyFed von @snarfed.org (https://fed.brid.gy/docs).

Hat durchaus noch Probleme, aber prinzipiell funktioniert es und das ist natürlich richtig cool. Gibt schon Accounts da drüben, denen ich gerne von hier folgen würde. Meiner ist schon verbunden: @fingolas.bsky.social

Hab drüben auch drauf verwiesen:
