• Ben­ja­min San­dof­sky: The End of The Twit­ter Era

    Blues­ky fol­lows the clas­sic cryp­to mar­ke­ting stra­tegy of ral­ly­ing users behind a cau­se while down­play­ing their pro­fit-dri­ven moti­ves. They make a big deal about fil­ing as a Public Bene­fits Cor­po­ra­ti­on, which means next to not­hing. (…) Claims that their plat­form is open and decen­tra­li­zed are most­ly bull­shit.

  • Lesens­wer­te Ana­ly­se von Chris­ti­ne Lem­mer-Web­ber:

    Blues­ky is built by good peo­p­le who care, and it is pro­vi­ding some­thing that peo­p­le despera­te­ly want and need. If you are loo­king for a Twit­ter repla­ce­ment, you can find it in Blues­ky today.

    Howe­ver, I stand by my asser­ti­ons that Blues­ky is not meaningful­ly decen­tra­li­zed and that it is cer­tain­ly not fede­ra­ted accor­ding to any tech­ni­cal defi­ni­ti­on of fede­ra­ti­on we have had in a decen­tra­li­zed social net­work con­text pre­vious­ly. To cla­im that Blues­ky is decen­tra­li­zed or fede­ra­ted in its cur­rent form moves the goal­posts of both of tho­se terms, which I find unac­cep­ta­ble.

Ich muss hier ja wei­ter­hin per Hand mei­ne Links raus­hau­en, weil mir AI immer noch nicht das Posta­li­cious-Plug­in für Word­Press pas­send hin­f­ri­ckelt. Ich blei­be in der Tech­nik-Bla­se: Ava fragt bezüg­lich der Popu­la­ri­tät von Blues­ky schön run­ter­ge­bro­chen:

Peo­p­le have spo­ken about the fact that it feels like old Twit­ter. Isn’t that… bad?

Es gibt AfD-Poli­ti­ker, die sind selbst der AfD zu russ­land­nah.

Der His­to­ri­ker Karl Schlö­gel weist dar­auf hin, dass man den Ernst der Lage erfas­sen soll­te: Russ­land ist der Feind.

Und wäh­rend ich mir die Fra­ge stel­le: Wer ist der Feind von den USA und Russ­land, wenn deren Herr­scher sich so nah sind? hole ich mir erst noch einen Tee.
