There we go!

@stux However, the majority of comments under Jay's announcement were not amused, to say the least.

@stux people will invent most silly reasons to stick with bluesky, while in truth it is about reach again.
Well, bridge still works at least.

[stux@mstdn.social]

Oh fun thing!

People on #Bsky cannot block this since Bluesky has almost everything PUBLIC

Privacy? Why?

Good luck over there

[guinnessduck@mstdn.social]

@stux Bluesky is speed running Twitter’s enshitification. I used Bluesky for about a week when I could first get an account and it seemed pretty clear what path they were going to do down. Haven’t signed back in ever since.

@stux Machines talking to machines, wow! Dystopia is truly knocking on the door.

@stux Now they will be able to report the posts and expose government critics to ICE directly.

[patricus@gts.posix.live]

@stux ooh, booooo

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@Krazov @stux But can they do anything about it?

[passthejoe@ruby.social]

@stux Who didn't see this coming? Not the AI so much as aiming to turn users into your unpaid workforce

[stux@mstdn.social]

@ahltorp @Krazov Nop

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@stux Did they not even add an opt out? If not they really have gone with a choice — and decided their choice overrules that of all their users...

@stux 'enterprising' is exactly the right word for that person. #WhyIsItAlwaysVCBros

[gokushrm@mastodon.social]

@stux I don't have any Bsky account. ️..

[rejzor@mastodon.social]

@stux I've said in the beginning. Just skip BlueSky and go for Mastodon. It will go the same route as Twitter. I'm literally a prophet.

[krazov@mstdn.social]

@stux @ahltorp True, but Bluesky the company knew that, and Attie — the "AI feed composer" in question — is a separate app, to not piss off Blueskyans. Also, it's not really AI, apparently, but more of an algorithm, which led someone to a hypothesis that the whole ruse was to satisfy (mostly crypto) investors. I'm still rather observing it, so we'll see, but BS devs started vibe-coding Bluesky, so this can take a sudden turn any time now.

[pmandemaker@social.vivaldi.net]

@stux Attie actually sounds interesting. Didn't hear of it before but I think it's the kind of service that can empower people to build their own feeds. I like it. Wish something like that existed for Mastodon. Getting a bit tired of the anti AI people here. That's not what I joined Mastodon for.

[archivescribe@mastodon.social]

@stux Sorry to see. I knew this was coming the second I heard about Bain Capital Crypto seeding $100 million. I hate seeing this. I just have to hope things change. I still like Bluesky and want it to succeed, but this is bad news.
