HN discussionI was just interested in learning about a micro blogging project from Twitter and their blog is basically empty, but the discord has a lot of activity. It's a bit jarring to see these professionals interacting on a gaming platform, and adds a lot of friction for me personally. I'm really interested in the technology and updates but not enough to sift through their chitchatting. No offense. https://blueskyweb.org/ ht…

HN discussionI really wonder how Bluesky [1] (Twitter's project of project to build a decentralized social media protocol) will take ActivityPub and especially Mastodon into account… Both the W3C and RetroShare have reacted to the news on Twitter [2] but are totally ignored so far.

HN discussionSure, I'll try to explain the Gmail point: - Setting up a separate domain for mail is a good idea, but access to previous emails and/or photos, docs, Drive files will be not recovered. Also non-technical person would probably skip this step. The issue of not really being in control of your data can be solved by: - regulating Google to let you access your data irrespectively if you are banned from their frontend or n…

HN discussionThe fact that one has to pick from many different places to set up an account is a massive barrier to entry. Let alone the complexity of moving an account from one host to another is also woefully complex, so if you choose wrong, you’re in for more pain. I don’t see this platform being able to benefit from the Twitter exodus. I’m putting my hopes on blue sky/AT which appears to solve the above pain points: https://b…

HN discussionThere's the nostr protocol that could be a good censorship resistant decentralised alternative [1] Jack Dorsey (ex-Twitter CEO) is also working on a protocol with similar properties [2] Neither can really replace Twitter right now, but they're interesting alternatives coming down the pipeline.

on “Show HN: A decentralized semantic web built atop Activity Pub”The "Our Team" link near the end points to https://blueskyweb.org/blog/2-31-2022-initial-bluesky-team Take a close look at that URL, there's a terrible bug in the date handling of whatever CMS they are using.

on “Twitter is funding a decentralized Social Media Initiative”You're very welcome. The Ink and Switch folks have more interesting posts (and a few released prototypes) that advance the conversation, which are dense and thoughtful: https://www.inkandswitch.com/ You're right that the economic incentives aren't such as to produce highly polished frameworks, libraries, and apps yet, and the public discourse is fairly diffuse.
