The next big victim of hate and agitation is, how could it have been anything else, Bluesky. So I’m not surprised to hear that Jack Dorsey, the founder of Bluesky, has turned his back on his own project and returned to X. Double standards, fearmongering and more hate mongering Bluesky, at least within the German-speaking region, is mainly dominated by radicalized left-wingers who are furious about anything and everything that is not directly up their asses.

Double standards, fearmongering and more hate mongering While for them controllable bots, or bots that don’t use the full potential of the API from the instances, such as FediDB from Pixelfed developer Dansup seem to be fine for them, other databases that store a little more public data fetched from the API, such as ryona.agency’s FBA, are directly labeled as scrapers and illegal data processing. The fact that the use of APIs is absolutely not scraping demonstrates the lack of knowledge about how the internet works on the part of those who call themselves “guardians of the Fediverse”.

Dataprivacy & Law In contrast to what many instances, mainly Mastodon, advertise, data protection is not even present in Fediverse. The important thing is to know how the software you use is working, and that’s precisely what most wannabe administrators don’t know. Once the “cache” fills up on their Server because Mastodon has downloaded all the images and stored them on their own server so that Mastodon does not have to retrieve them from the other instance every time, these noobs start crying that their instance is consuming 400 GB to 1 TB space on their hard drive.
