The type of &#34;decentralized&#34; future Bluesky imagines is very different from what we have here in the Fediverse. To state it simply, Bluesky is not pitching a thousand points of light. Their network protocol does not scale &#34;wide&#34; (many instances) efficiently. Instead they talk about &#34;credible exit&#34;, which while it has not been realized at all, comprises a handful of other big enterprises running platforms on AT Proto that you could, in theory, switch to. 2025-10-09T22:01:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8phajpu99yaeuqq6n643jz5dmqeavsz66emdupqvf4acgt8c9kkczyzcm3gzfm98kv7r50rydslqyhdwfvsxau5dqqj35pxuc0ueqr8hysa323k5 Enable Quote Posting<br/><br/>Quote Posting deployed this morning on mastodon.online, and will be available to all with the v4.5 rollout by the end of the month.<br/><br/>BUT, if you want your posts to be quotable, you need to enable the feature. Go to Posting Defaults in the settings to enable quote posting for your account.<br/><br/>A great deal of thought has gone into the QP implementation to minimize potential abuse of this feature.

The distinction has always between decentralized and decentralizable. <br/><br/>Whenever Bluesky says they are decentralized they actually mean they are potentially decentralizable. It&#39;s the difference between future potential and current reality. It is always more attractive to sell unrealized futures.<br/><br/>Whenever called out on their vaporware marketing it is always, &#39;we have this or that technical feature in AT Protocol, so what we are selling is potentially feasible.&#39; 2025-05-23T19:24:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqf4c5jtnk0mylz24mgp672agpqhec0ac8tkr45ujwtw5hywtv3hgzyzcm3gzfm98kv7r50rydslqyhdwfvsxau5dqqj35pxuc0ueqr8hys6lqfj3 Confirmation: Bluesky Now Blocking User In Turkey In Response To Turkish Demands<br/><br/>Yesterday Arda Kılıçdağı <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1lwyc9pws9hszjczh7kgg8338htj5cmkyyhttw5p6vdrh2jdglh5s7qh9la" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Arda Kılıçdağı</span> (<span class="italic">npub1lwy…h9la</span>)</a></span> posted (<a href="https://micro.arda.pw/@arda/114344261036182422">https://micro.arda.pw/@arda/114344261036182422</a>) that #Bluesky had blocked a user in response to Turkish pressure, and published the purported notification.<br/><br/>Today, he confirmed the block by demonstrating that the subject account is still visible in the rest of the world, but blocked in Turkey (see below and <a href="https://micro.arda.pw/@arda/114348085466681138">https://micro.arda.pw/@arda/114348085466681138</a>).
