As predicted.... And people piled on me here when I question why they were falling head over heels over bluesky when it was yet another techo bro platform

I thought about it but lemmy seems more genuine.

No karma. No nothing. Just info.

This was more a Twitter vs BlueSky comparison... not against Lemmy, not sure I understand your comment

This is not enshittification. Many other knowledgeable users who actually know what they're talking about have explained why.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not exactly enshittification yet. The service still mostly works. But it is an attempt to build a wall around the garden.

Fuck walled gardens. That shit got old years ago. At least with FB you could pretend you didn't expect it. Maybe. If you're oblivious, at least.

I don't really see how. Other AppViews and custom clients don't do this. Its just a few lines of javascript in the frontend.

What is wrong wth a fucking discount code to show where you hot the referral.

I refuse all cookies everywhere and the internet works just fine.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

I've given up trying to save people from obvious traps. They refuse to listen and they refuse all data.

Bluesky has been doing enshitification since it didn’t mind having that transphobic man on their platform, as far as I’m concerned.

Guessing we're talking about Jesse Singal. The man who was banned and then allowed back in after negotiating directly with bsky staff.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

That’s the one. It’s a while back I left now.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

Jesse Singal. The other person that replied reminded me. When I left his being allowed to be on the platform was a bit of thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yeah, we need to do something about that.

Yeah, this is why BlueSky's openness is always only to a point. I will say it's probably not as bad as some are making it out to be, but it's definitely not something you want to see from a platform purporting to be open. Fortunately this is only a BlueSky thing and not the entire AT Protocol... but at this point, the AT Protocol and BlueSky are inseperable. I mean, are there even any other AT Protocol sites?

As someone who ran a popular link shortening platform let me tell you how difficult it is to curtail spam links.

This is likely a way to warn users before being forwarded to fraudulent websites that a link has been marked as spam.

There are many other use cases for this redirect as well but this is the most obvious for user safety.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Doesn't sound plausible to me—If they can detect spam links like you're suggesting, why not just mask those links as bsky short links?
