#Bluesky now redirects links through "go.bsky.app".

This is a kludge similar to Twitter's "t.co" to pass on referer information (already available on the open web) from mobile apps, to make Bluesky look better in analytics reports.

Intercepting clicks is always problematic from a privacy/security perspective; in addition, it introduces a technical layer that can fall over (the redirection service).

NorthSky, new ATProto fork, declared as a safe space for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. A worker-owned cooperative based out of Canada. bsky.app/profile/transrights.n

They're not doing this via ActivityPub because they're focused on protecting the people in our communities that are already on Bluesky. Pro sex work and explicit content between consenting adults.

I'm glad someone is doing this work.

Bluesky Social · Northsky Social Cooperative 🟡 (@transrights.northsky.social)We’re excited to announce NorthSky Social Cooperative where we are building a new ATproto platform for the benefit of marginalized communities that prioritizes the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. After increasing hostility toward these communities we are taking action to provide a platform built by and for us https://northskysocial.com/join

If you click on a link in a Bluesky post, it is now automatically redirected via the domain go.bsky.app before it actually goes to the link in the post. There is no way to stop this or know that it is happening as the redirect only flickers on the screen for a fraction of a second.

Presumably this means Bluesky can now track all link clicking on their platform, including IP addresses, destinations etc?

Or have I misunderstood?

Bluesky is spinning it as a tool for publishers to track referrals, but going beyond the spin it seems to be giving Bluesky access to people's online activity?

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

Porkkala, Kirkkonummi - South of the North - this corner looks like eternal summer as there are mainly beautiful pines there. as soon as there is no snow of course.
the sea is straight behind the camera!

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.
