Oh, now there you go!

They’re developing a new thang, “…in the open”. What does that even mean? That statement doesn’t even necessarily imply #Open_Source, let alone #FOSS.

In about five weeks that initiative will observe it’s 3rd anniversary (11 December 2019), and in all that time, what?

It should not be forgotten that this was spawned by the #deprecated, privacy disrespecting, #legacy #monolithic #silo known as Twitter. Not a good place.

In the meantime, at least half a dozen fully blown FOSS platforms have been written from scratch and deployed into the Fediverse and enjoying wild popularity and even non #ActivityPub based everything technologies are continuing to emerge everyday.

The original idea was to find this into Twatter and beyond. Well, the #Fediverse has about 6 million users and picks up an average of about another 1500 users everyday across it’s entire spectrum.

Let’s say #Bkuesky comes up with something workable. Where are they going to plug in, considering they’ve lost their AOL effect (AKA Network Affect) a couple of days ago when #Twatter’s deplorable CEO was fired and escorted off the premises by Security along with that evil bitch Gadde and the CFO…. Where?

I’m rather ambivalent, actually, and open to a, “Change my mind!”, scenario. But to make a splash Bluesky is either going to need to be adopted as a protocol by some other successful network(s) or grow organically. At the speed with which FOSS based solutions are moving I think it’s most likely that even if it does have merits, the #FOSS community will just cannibalize the parts it likes while discarding the built in censorship functions and capabilities.

Many of the most prominent ActivityPub developers are wholly unimpressed at the mostly minor differences between Bkuesky and ActivityPub, citing that it doesn’t do anything ActivityPub can’t do except for some things they won’t let it do for the sake of the users and their safety.

So… No E.E.E. for Bkuesky. In fact, I’m thinking it’s probably going to be D.D.D.
