Bueno... he probado a publicar el #art en #Bluesky y en #Cara . El de la izquierda era bloqueado (cara) y etiquetado (Blueskye) por contenido #NSFW de forma automática.

Así que ni corto ni perezoso, ya que estas cosas me divierten, me puse a intentar saltarme la censura.

Ya habia notado que detecta las formas redondas. Con las tetas funcionan los tatuajes, collares o simplemente sombras en espiral.

Con este culo habia que romper la forma de alguna manera y con esto pasa el filtro...

New: Fediverse Report 109

This week, an essay about #Bluesky's proposal for setting user preferences on their accounts. This allows people to indicate how they want their data to be handled off-protocol. I wrote about how the #fediverse can improve on this, using its strengths of many different communities, each with its own culture and values.

Also:
- Next week is the digital conference @fediforum
- A research dataset to compare Threads and Mastodon users

Si estás en #Bluesky y me lees, hazme una señal.

Y si te incomoda la idea de que puedan hacerte shadowbanning, vente para Mastodon, que aquí no tenemos un algoritmo que te ordene según lo mucho o poco que le gustes. Sólo salimos en orden cronológico, y tu reaparición en otros TL son todos orgánicos, basados en los Retoots.

As opposition accounts on X are suspended in Turkey at this critical juncture in their political struggles (politico.eu/article/musks-x-su), perhaps now is a good time to encourage our friends here on #Threads and #Bluesky to at least have an escape plan. Pack a social media emergency go bag by creating a Mastodon/Fediverse account (joinmastodon.org/) and start using it, at least as a secondary platform.

I am once again asking for your recommendations for a #mastodon #instance to jump ship towards. Taking a break from #bluesky has highlighted the issues I had when this was my only form of social media.

Now that my local feed has more bots than my federated feed, I think it's time. Also, someone else's instance has apparently flagged mine, so it caused a warning every time they interacted with me.

I know about instances.social/ . It lacks criteria I need. I can't search for >500 chars

For those who have not seen it yet, ActivityPub co-author Christine Lemmer-Webber @cwebber has written a new thread that addresses the more recent claims that the #Bluesky AT Protocol is getting more "decentralized".

Her bottom line: "ATProto still cannot scale down and scale wide, not towards meaningful decentralization."

Here is a link to the very thoughtful and informative thread which also includes links to her other threads and essays on the topic of AT Protocol.

social.coopChristine Lemmer-Webber (@cwebber@social.coop)So, can ATProto scale down? Have Bluesky's "scaling towards decentralization" issues been fixed? Not fundamentally. There have been advancements in self-hosting efforts, and they're good, but my fundamental analysis of Bluesky and ATProto scaling quadratically have not changed, despite recent efforts being good. 🧵
