Gregory's ServerJack Dorsey even implies that #Bluesky is just a “proof of concept”.
If that’s true, I hope no institution is setting up an account on Bluesky.
Bluesky is fine for shitposting. But anything work-related shouldn’t be hosted on a “proof of concept”.

 How can Bluesky be the future when Jack Dorsey says it’s “temporary”? Maybe AT protocol is the future—but that’s a separate matter from Bluesky. The app we’re seeing now may not even exist when AT protocol gets rolled out. Everything I see about #Bluesky’s app now makes complete sense. If this is meant to be a proof of concept, of course Bluesky won’t concentrate on stuff like DMs or lists or text formatting. Why would they put that kind of work in if this might be temporary? @atomicpoet@mastodon.social Can we really trust him though? Or is he just saying whatever people wants to hear? My big conclusion from Jack Dorsey’s thread is that #Bluesky is NOT comparable to Mastodon. You can’t compare a temporary proof of concept with something that is production-ready right now. The hint is Bluesky’s website: staging.bsky.app It’s “staging” for a reason! All those clout-chasing “influencers” on #Bluesky will look ridiculous if the app ceases to exist, and they’re forced to set up their own PDS on a Raspberry Pi. I’m not saying this will happen, but it will be funny if it does. 😆  Hmm that is a very fascinating idea, a social media where you are gated behind having to setup a server, something that doesn't take more than a couple of hours and googling at most to learn. @atomicpoet I've pre emtied it left, deleted it now space back on mobi it's in the Myspace can with musk & zuk! @atomicpoet Everybody I know who has an account on there wouldn't know what a Raspberry pi even is  "....Jack trundles support to anti-vaxxer conspiracy nutter RFK jr. on his walled-in Bluesky beta...." @atomicpoet bear in mind that Jack does not run the show over at Bluesky. The actual Bluesky team has not confirmed his comment. @atomicpoet Yes, he is on the board, but he doesn’t drive the roadmap. Jay and her team do. I would want one of them to confirm Jack’s comment before taking it seriously.  @rlux Isn't he the sole funder? For something with no revenue model? That is not a strong negotiating position for the CEO, let alone the team. @atomicpoet  @atomicpoet What if it is a PoC that actually is a multitude of instances behind the facade? A protocol test platform. |
If #Bluesky really is just a temporary proof of concept, the Tech Press sure has egg on all their faces.
This means Bluesky isn’t what they believe it to be.
