To use less of it.

Two things come to mind:
a) Fedi really needs to grow beyond "Twitter clone for nerds"β¦most of the infra is already good, it's more of a marketing problem now.
b) if ATProto doesn't meaningfully evolve beyond Bluesky this year, it's cooked at any hope of being convincingly decentralized. Time to put up or, well, y'know.
My money is on (a) being much more likely than (b), but we'll see.
@jaredwhite @thenexusofprivacy ATProto is unable to be decentralized, by design. Bsky.social has a moderation right on all inter-instance communication. Other instances can only affect what comes in or out their instances.Also BlueSky's people sold it to really horrible people once. They will do it again.
But there have been so many people out there claiming that ATProto really is a form of decentralized social media. All I'm saying is, OK. Let's see it! C'mon! Do it! I'll happily join the first truly decentralized public ATProto platform with no reliance on bsky infra or policies.
That post I saw on Mastodon a couple of years ago about how the poster doesnt want any household appliances that beep when theyre finished and it was quite funny but now the post doesnt seem to exist anymore.
@thenexusofprivacy Oh, a pol.is discussion! I like that tool's combination of simplicity & depth! Different usecases possible
I clicked through all of the Polis statements. To a lot of them (maybe even half) I thought "but we already have that on Piefed"
Less talking, more action. If decentralized discussion is the basis for a healthy society let's build that society, the tech is a means not an end
I'd love to see it if my favorite nsfw artists like gabbidremm, alterkyon, maguro27, and glossytempo would feel free to migrate their main social presence away from X to a competitor, but current conditions make them feel like it's the only option.
I feel like Lemmy and Bluesky are alright, but I think size and popularity in the nsfw space (where X, Reddit, and Pixiv dominate) could seriously benefit from a large, popular competitor.
