@icedquinn >you're supposed to be able to subscribe to moderators
Do you know how well that's worked in the fediverse? Actually I can tell you.

@icedquinn this is all in theory because right now bsky is a monolithic site and all the artists getting jannied is gonna move them to misskey.io or back to Twitter. :D -

Two things that make BSky different from fedi are the idea of a "universal username" as opposed to username/domain, and more importantly they love the idea of an algorithm (but not the evil meanie one).
Essentially bsky is for the NPC who cares about his posting career, but wants to be fed slop. He does not remember how pissed Twitter was when the regular timeline got replaced with the algorithmic timeline.

Oh yes interaction gating, the thing that led exactly to quote tweet dunking on Twitter because some open sex pest/evil corporation would be saying something fucktarded only to get mocked in the replies.

As of today, atproto does not currently federate. It also lacks DMs, not even the fakeass idea of DMs known as "post scopes". But the funnier part is how the protocol is such a goddamn clusterfuck compared to activitypub.

You can totally run a PDS on anything, but more importantly you don't need to worry about being a janny. Someone else will.
You could say this takes control away, but this is intended for mastodongers not us. It's every single bad fedi moderation idea in a nutshell.
This is confirmed with the page on algorithms, and how users of it so desperately want their algorithm and their posting career. They want Twitter but without Tesla man.

So why is ActivityPub bad? Why does it have to go? Well put it this way, it all comes down to one thing: posting careers.
Just like how a moderator bought SomethingAwful to keep the posting careers of the users there alive (literally somethingawful.com now takes you right to the forums and not the old comedy site LowT built that drew people to the forums unless you click it), Mastodon/Twitter users love their posting careers. It's why having your entire posting career being nuked upon a ban is such an effective punishment, as opposed to forums which would just cross your name out. And right now, if a Mastodon server goes down you can transfer many of your followers, but your posting career of tweets that won't age poorly at all is gone.
But hey. At least there's bsky with extra censorship to fight "misinfo". This is why the network protocol of bsky is so complicated, censorship has to be baked into the protocol.

Page 1 of the bluesky paper is a riot already. Aside from mentioning the "instance question", the big goal with Bluesky is you guessed it, censorship. This is why it's on the first fucking page. This is what sets it apart from the fedi, your ability to say words and post art will be determined by that of a 400lb moderator who half the time doesn't do his job.

@coolboymew @camedei456 yes they had no focus on games during the initial pre e3 presentation it was a clusterfuck -

@camedei456 @coolboymew To add to that, Microsoft also let a lot of non-western territories lose sales by merely releasing the console there, and nothing else. I heard the South Korean Xbox One lifecycle there was a shitshow with no money being given to promote the console to the branch there and third party games coming out on the console elsewhere (but not in SK).
Japan was one too, they basically treated Japan as a third rate country after selling a million or two 360s in Japan, the console never had the quirky games the 360 in Japan did (these were on the PS4/Switch/Vita), and it was selling as badly as the original did. The Series X did sell better, but that was when nobody could buy a PS5 (and this boosted PC gaming there massively as well).
Also the MCC thing I'm saying again, but aside from releasing a literal useless piece of plastic, people were buying Xboxes to play the MCC. And then it got released on the PC anyway by the time it was fixed to "good enough for me" status for many.
It's foolish to say it's solely one thing that did Microsoft in, after all they recovered from the even greater PR and financial hit of the RRoD while Sony managed to get themselves out of the same exact issue (YLOD/GLOD) on the 90nm models. -

@camedei456 @coolboymew I think a lot of people forget what else was going on around the time of the DRM announcement (which was speculated to be from game publishers begging for it, as seen by "online passes"). Microsoft in the later years of the 360 brand had managed to dilute it, and the initial Xbox One announcement was everything that was wrong with this.
No games, no BC, higher price than the PS4 because of lolkinect, bundling the Kinect with the console and pre-launch "forcing" it, and this isn't even the used game aspect. If anything, the lack of the BC was the biggest flaw of the Xbox One launch because it gave whales zero reason to stick to the Xbox brand.
But more importantly, look how the Xbox brand was seen going into 2013. They had:
The infamous five figure fee to push a title update.Requiring indies to have a publisher and not self publish.Segregating indies who did self publish into using the inferior public XNA sdk and forcing them into a subsection of the store with no chance of exposure.Halo 4A game drought at the end of the gen as Sony seemed to be announcing big name exclusive after exclusive.The Kinect and trying to chase the casual craze at the expense of the main product (does anyone remember when everyone and their mom was joking about the Kinect?)An increasingly big focus on media, which is what people were using consoles for before the rise of smart TVs and Rokus, but seemingly at the detriment of games.Aside from the used-game DRM thing, the Xbox brand in 2013 was symbolic with out of touch businessmen who quite frankly did not understand what customers and developers wanted. Even with Phil Spencer in charge, there was shit like the Halo MCC launch and dilution of the Halo brand, everyone being split as fuck on Game Pass, and highly questionable buyouts. -

@coolboymew @beardalaxy @Goalkeeper @D-Droid @thatbrickster Also in the "you will be happy" wagecage society, it's easier to play a Switch when you're on your break at a wage cage than to only be able to play your Xbox for a few hours at home and nearly ready to pass out.
I saw a White Castle wagie playing Fortnite and 2K on his Switch. The Steam Deck being portable and Sony's rumor of a portable PS5 are pointing in this direction too. -
