Well stop trying to make twitter then you fuckin idiot.
He was on the board, it’s not like it was his project or anything. Imo he wanted to create a protocol, not a platform. “Improve Activitypub” like they always claimed. But then Bluesky realized that they can simply build their own platform and be Twitter 2.0
He should just contribute to mastodon instead.
Its community based so his opinion could be ignored, unlike when he’s on a board and his opinion was ignored.
Moderation should always be client side. Server side should not be able to interfere or even read public content
@interdimensionalmeme There are different opinions about this. And luckily people can chose networks according to their specific opinions.
Moderation should always be client side. Server side should not be able to interfere or even read public content
Yup. I don’t know if I agree re public content, but perhaps private messages should be encrypted, client side, before sending? That issue is one that bothers me about Mastodon.
No. He wouldn’t be happy with ActivityPub as well. He imagines a social network where no one can perform any moderation. He favours Nostr for exactly that reason. Bluesky has got moderation (just like the Fediverse) - which he dislikes.
So? Like Usenet was back in the day before it became a pirate haven. Then email lists became it. LOL, People tend to ignore the extreme nut jobs regardless. I never saw any child porn on Usenet, but then I didn’t go looking for it. No doubt it existed too.
Several of you seem to be misunderstanding. When he says “like Twitter” it’s not in the negative ways you are thinking. It’s in the negative ways he’s thinking. Meaning censorship and being able to ban accounts. He doesn’t want that. Mastodon would have the same criticisms if he commented on it.
Oh right, is that this new “free speech absolutism” I’ve heard about? 🙃
Unless it is pro-Palestinian speech of course
Or speech that hurts his feelings
These billionaires are just regular people with less empathy (there are no ethical billionaires). They have the same braindead ideas we all have if we dont know anything about a topic and are in a talkative mood or possibly drunk or high, or all of those combined I guess.
I feel like he doesn’t understand that he’s the common denominator here…?
Everyone on Masto/Fedi has been memeing about this since the start: Whatever platform Dorsey’s on becomes Twitter, lol.
At least Dorsey is thinking about social platforms, problems. Did you even read the post or simply spouting what your tribe says in your echo chamber?
I was elected to meme, not to read.
Jack Dorsey quits Bluesky board and urges users to stay on Elon Musk’s X
Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.
It seem many here are against it.
Them promoting crypto is fishy. I don’t like Nostr.
How is nostr promoting crypto?
They only use Bitcoin (optional) which is getting highly regulated.
bluesky has a robust moderation system which blocks transphobes, bigots, and racism which is why jack hates it.
It doesn’t block them though does it? My understanding is that it simply filters them so that you don’t see them anymore. They’re still there doing their thing though.
So it’s like Reddit
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Because — in Dorsey’s telling, at least — Bluesky was “literally repeating all the mistakes [Twitter] made as a company.”
That’s the TLDR from an interview Dorsey conducted with journalist Mike Solana at his Pirate Wires site.
And then Dorsey decided what he really wanted to do was help Nostr, another Twitter alternative, which promises to actually be an open-source protocol, instead.
Dorsey, for instance, has some mostly kind words about Elon Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022.
Though that mostly repeats his idea that Twitter’s original sin was becoming a venture-backed, for-profit company that went public with a business model based on advertising, positioned as a Facebook competitor.
But that story/argument isn’t a new one — you can find it in this four-episode podcast series I hosted last year, for instance.
The original article contains 349 words, the summary contains 132 words. Saved 62%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Man…no leadership, no accountability, just a rich billionaire drifter acting like he has principles. Idgaf, I like fediverse, and I like my block button…it’s the only alt I’ve found that isn’t a rightwing cess pool full of degens.
So then he went back to Twitter? 😵💫
He’s mostly on nostr of all places…
A regular Nostr Dumbass
I thought it was meant to be the new twitter, by design… wut?
it’s meant to be twitter by ui and feel, for sure.
i’d also say it’s meant to be more like twitter from a decade ago when twitter actually had a functioning moderation system and kept toxicity away. the moderation system, which is open sourced and allows anyone to add on to, is one of the best.
i’m subscribed to https://bsky.app/profile/aegis.blue, which blocks or hides antisemites, bigots, racists, transphobes, you name it.
He means they are trying not to be the Nazi bar, and added an homeopathic amount of moderation to the platform.
Why not sell it to the next fascist for billions of dollars and make yourself rich again?
Twitter is merely a Nazi bar when what Jack wanted was a Turbo-Nazi bar.
jwz: Blockchain Rasputin over here is mad that moderation exists
It has been obvious to anyone paying attention that the reason Dorsey founded and funded Bluesky was with the end goal of enabling Twitter to go [Spider-Man Pointing dot GIF] any time an actual Nazi showed up, because moderation was not their problem, they just outsourced it to a series of nested shell companies (that they fund) who act as reputation laundries and liability crumple zones.
Now he pouts and says the quiet part out loud.
Has he heard about Mastodon?
Why would that matter?
I’m on Bluesky and my view of it, at least, is absolutely nothing like Twitter. I’m glad he quit it before he could really turn it into another Nazi-infested hellhole.
