Well, to be fair, you CAN download and upload your posts here and not lose them on Mastodon, but point taken that the migration is still getting there, but #ActivityPub is working that out for future version.

I'm still confused how BlueSky migration of social graphs would work IF there were another non-BlueSky entirely other ATproto service overall - and how that would work in terms of interoperablity with those users on the BlueSKy service.

The more we dive into organizing for #KamalaHarris here on the fedi with folks on @KamalaHarrisWin...

Or watch what @heidilifeldman has created with her #MastodonForHarris campaign...

Or get amazed by @charlesgaba's use Mastodon and BlueSky for his huge cross-platform fundraising ...

...the more happy I am with this article Heidi and I penned earlier. There's a bigger story waiting to be told post-US election. Check it out here: https://wedistribute.org/2024/09/the-revolution-will-be-federated/

@haubles @pluralistic @Mastodon

Cory is great on describing the power dynamic of "switching costs" and the Fediverse dramatically turning the tables on that, for the good of each user.

And richly deserved

@jon I do think Vivaldi's super-power is being able to literally tweak every single UX element. Glad more of that is coming to the mobile app version.

"The share of fediverse population on instances that don't block Bridgy Fed is useful in that it tells us the percentage of people here who could opt in to Bridgy Fed ... but I'm not sure what it tells us beyond that."

Wouldn't it show the share of the Fedi that are at least OK with their social home being bridged to Bluesky and did not have a strong enough issue vote with their feet to go to a server that didn't? And vice versa?

@CassandraVert did this ever clear up? Was never able to replicate it….

@thenexusofprivacy @hallenbeck @markdarb @mmasnick

Well, simple point is that both web polls, or fediverse polls that are not randomized samples of the whole population have like three or four sources of bias and don't tell us much.

I'd think by now we can look at data: the share of fediverse population on servers that do block BlueSky bridges versus who do not, I'd think would be the best source to figure out the wide scale fediverse view. Not sure anyone. has tried to see that yet.

@hallenbeck @mackuba @markdarb @mmasnick @mike @snarfed.org

Yes exactly this. Each server can have its own opt-in or out rules -- as long as they state it clearly.

@damon @hallenbeck Agree with Damon on how that went down, and that Ryan handled it with great grace and care.

@hallenbeck @markdarb @mmasnick

This rings true. It was a definite subset that were riled up, but that's cool, they have every right and ability to block such bridges at will. But I agree most - to my experience 90 percent plus, welcome it.

@mmasnick @markdarb @evan I do think that there are some practical things the ATProtocol folks can do to make bridging between them and AP cleaner: the very dead simplest one is change their post size to 500 characters.

And I do think folks on the fedi allergic to bridging have plenty of means and agency to block it and only a (albeit loud) 5 percent would. Most would welcome a robust bridge to BlueSky.

#Admin #Indiewebsocial - as we mentioned yestersay - our server today is supporting #VoteEarlyDay and encourages all US citizens that make this your social home to get registered and VOTE today!

Make it happen. You can get more info by following @voteearlyday or by going here: https://voteearlyday.org/vote/

We hope every #FediAdmin and #Mastoadmin join us in sending this non-partisan message to their users today!

#FederateTheVote

Kudos to @reckless1280 and @theverge for this:

A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for school shootings and measles

Donald Trump simply will not engage with democracy. A vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election is a vote for solving collective action problems, together.

@Gargron Thanks for posting this, Eugen!

@wigbert Good man.

@JanetteSpeyer @voteearlyday - You and me, both!

#Admin #IndiewebSocial

If you care about a safe fediverse, I highly reocomend that you give to @iftas - our server has, and I am an advisor there.

The value to IFTAS against spam, organized harassment, and other threats to ourusers cannot be overstated, it is one of the most optimistic signs of the fediverse maturing I've seen. Give at the link below:
