*Four* real people followed me on #Bluesky, now I get the real chance to become a downsize #influencer!
My advice to stay beautiful and small: Block the 100 #AI #Bots and the 20 beggars' spam accounts that always say the same thing, from diabetes to asthma to war (I give money only to reliable adresses). Makes 124-120=4.
My critical test continues!

Goodmorning Mastodon.
I noticed something as I also made a BlueSky account some time back (@slimlthr.bsky.social ) which is use mostly to follow accounts that are not bridged to mastodon.
Somehow it feels the main behavior on BlueSky is you make a few posts and you keep reposting them regularly? Did anybody else notice that?
Also the vibe on BlueSky versus Mastodon I find quite different (with me liking Mastodon better). Is anybody researching this already?
This great rant by Rutger Bregman, applies entirely and fully to the #OpenSource community.
And is, I'm convinced , the primary reason why e.g. the #Fediverse isn't growing into that alternative for big-tech (or why Linux desktop never replaced Windows)
In-fighting. Binary purism. Religious fanatism and bullying of allies.
We shouldn't fight #bluesky, boycott #nostr or bully instances that federate with #threads. They are allies. Today. To get to the next step.

You could set up something like AppViewLite https://github.com/alnkesq/AppViewLite feeding from my relay as the input, and then people on two different self-hosted PDSes would be able to see and comment on each other's posts, bypassing Bluesky infra almost completely (except plc.directory).
Note, this currently uses ~200 kbit/s traffic and ~200 MB disk space, Munin stats here: https://relay.feeds.blue/munin/
I've got my own Bluesky relay now too :] https://relay.feeds.blue
Ok, technically it's a not a full-network one - I added ~2000 known self-hosted PDSes there, but *without* Bluesky-run ones. Which means it has like 2 orders of magnitude less traffic than a full one… But if you're self-hosting a PDS, you should see your records streaming through there, if you either send a requestCrawl there or my PDS indexer has found you.

Women in the Wind.

Watercolour on paper
Boa Viagem beach in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. gusts of wind sweep the sand and palm trees, leaving hair and clothes in disarray. Done from life, holding the paper tightly.
