@applepine yes. I held this poll a couple days ago, with delightful results on the social experience of the current #fediverse: Dispersed cozy villages with here and there a bustling city..

https://social.coop/@smallcircles/1161 54415408228188

That is a great outcome, and something to cherish and protect.

Currently I feel the slow growth of the #ActivityPub fediverse is healthy and natural growth we can cope with. And #Bluesky being the lightning rod for corporate attention, borrows more time to mature and evolve.

The #SocialWeb dynamics will totally change if the technology adoption lifecycle gets beyond early adopter phase, and 1,000's of commercial vendors start to launch products in this new market space that we, pioneers, made available to them.

The question is whether we can handle that. I think currently we cannot and we have to hand over fedi's fate to the market and hope for the best.

Bluesky's new/interim CEO shares his impressions from his first week.

"Many messages I’ve gotten from the Bluesky community were along the lines of, “Welcome, this is a great place, please don’t mess it up.”

The subtext is that I was brought in to turn things around in some dramatic way. I was not. I like our strategy, and we will continue to deliver on it. [...]

We are very actively thinking about how we will make money, but ads are near the bottom of the idea list."

Working on a new thing 🤔 It's a version of the chart I have on https://blue.mackuba.eu/stats/, which shows the number of daily/weekly accounts on the #bluesky / #atproto network posting from non-Bluesky PDSes (Bridgy is most of that, and it's split by original source, the rest of Bluesky-focused PDSes are green) - but it's shown as % of the total posts here. The last bar where the green is going up is the Eurosky migration.

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Chart "Decentralization intensifies 🚀" which shows series "Federated PDS", "Nostr", "Mastodon/Fediverse", "Bridgy Web" and "Threads", but the scale is in %. It goes up in mid 2024 (to ~0.8%), mostly the Mastodon numbers, then it drops sharply in autumn of 2024 when the Brazilian wave arrived on Bluesky, and since then it grows more or less linearly to a total of ~1.7% now (about 0.6% being federated PDSes, 0.9% Mastodon, and the rest mostly Bridgy Fed).

Sir Alderich entered the main hall and hurried directly to our Lady Joan Mastodon.

There is trouble over on CrimsonSky, he uttered, catching his breath. Fair posts are being censored, the Great Algo has free reign, the Big Money Bro is setting up camp in their fields, they even ...

My dear Alderich, do sit down. I have just made some fine Fedi brew, here, may it refresh and replenish you like a poem or a bird somg on a winter morning.

But, my Lady, over on CrimsonSky ...

Let CrimsonSky be CrimsonSky, my friend. They will do what they must do. Here, drink. Then settle and start your evening toots.

She stood up. The sun is about to set, she spoke to the crowd, it is time to jest. Let evening jesting commence.

And her knights nodded and laughed, some of the younger ones high-fived each other, and they took out their antique phones and refurbished laptops, and there was jestposting and singing all through the night.

@pfrazee.com writes about how decentralization in #bluesky / #atproto compares to the architecture of ActivityPub & networks like Nostr: https://www. pfrazee.com/blog/practical-dec entralization

"There are still challenges in front of atproto. Bluesky is still too large of a player (…) Do I worry about those problems? Of course I do. But am I confident we'll solve them? Absolutely"

"Atproto isn't federation. It isn't p2p. It isn't blockchains. It's a direct attempt at practical decentralization, tradeoffs and all"

The point of decentralization is to guarantee the rights of individuals and communities on the Internet. Pulling that off is a balancing act between practicality and ideology.
