@jonty this is fiiiine. bluesky is filled with very smart people and therefore they don’t need to participate in open standard groups before they just invent their own!

 @thomasfuchs @jesseplusplus @jonty given that their big selling point is distributed identity I think it's fair to make jokes about complete failures in that department yeah @thomasfuchs @jesseplusplus @jonty Mastodon is open source and is based on open standards that much of the already existing web uses. Bluesky throws all of that out the window for a subpar experience and limited user freedom (I haven't seen their source code anywhere for their clients). Mastodon here has the backing of the full FOSS community, and then some. Bluesky doesn't.  @thomasfuchs closed beta (but with fascists). though i guess they need fascists to test their content tagging. wonder how they test their bestiality tags.  @thomasfuchs It's a funny bug. I'm not one for cheap dunks on devs, but this was clearly a security issue with solid prior art (imagine if Let's Encrypt let me claim S3!), so I'm a little ok with a bit of dunking.  @thomasfuchs @jesseplusplus @jonty It's not just a "bug", it's a failure of their entire identity model that shows how badly they failed to think it through. There's no fix for this without a manual list or a total rethink.  @tomw @thomasfuchs @jesseplusplus @jonty manual list is impossible, so rethink it is! @thomasfuchs @jesseplusplus @jonty "bugs" is one thing, "failure to do a basic bibliographic search when discovering a design for a much better wheel" is another. @jesseplusplus @jonty W3C's AP GitHub has 889 stars... 77 followers and 68 forks... |
@jesseplusplus @jonty this is why they’re doing a closed beta, to find and fix these issues.
do you think Mastodon etc never had bugs, even bad ones?
