Genuine question, is there a way to carry over blocks from bsky to WAFRN? I've been getting a lot of likes from bot bsky accounts. I can tell they're blocked on bsky because when I look at who liked my post with 11 likes, I only see 2 real people, the rest are bots blocked by one of those massive public block lists. But on WAFRN I get notifications for them all.

Dałam w sumie na mastodonie, ale czuję, że to idealnie pasuje na wafrn i pewnej sytuacji z adminem co chciał, by wafrn zaczął usuwać pewne zdjęcia :blobfox3c:

I give up.
I have tried every way I can to establish a private instance for all of my #fediverse and #socialnetworking needs. I've tried Hubzilla, GNUSocial, and Friendica, but maintaining the cost of a virtual private server isn't justifiable to me and those apps don't play well with shared hosting, which is all I can afford right now (and I don't have the space to set up a personal server).
The fact of the matter is that the only self-hosted application that checks the boxes of being a) dead simple to install on shared hosting--preferably through Softaculous since I just don't feel like jumping through hoops, b) well-supported, c) easy to use, and d) able to connect with both ActivityPub and AT protocols is WordPress, which I am reluctant to use because Matt Mullenweg is a pretty detestable as a human.
That said, I am holding my nose and using WordPress as my social networking hub until and unless something that isn't tainted with Mullenweg's nonsense comes along, so here I be.
I am rebuilding my profile and follow lists, and I apologize to those of you who seem to get a new follow request from me every other day, but I plan on this being the last time until the unlikely WordPress-killer comes around.
Thank you for your patience.

Na tumblr jestem tylko dlatego, że rebloguję zbiórki, daję linki do swoich animacji i dla fandomów… Sama strona jest do bani, jak dołączyłam była odświeżeniem po latach na FB i roku na twitterze (Zawieszono mi konto na zawsze lmao), ale po byciu na fediverse, stała się dla mnie dusząca…
I tak, na mastodon (Zaczęłam pisać na mastodonie, ale odkryłam, że limit wpisów lekko mnie ogranicza, więc lmao) dołączyłam, bo spytałam chat AI o alternatywy dla tumblr (Lub tego typu) co nie wspierają Izraela, więc dosłownie AI mnie tu zaprowadziło :V
Po prostu założyłam konto na mastodonie i nie spodziewałam się, że tu zostanę na dłużej :A_BlobCat_Approach:
Moje konto na mastodonie jest od 2024… Tak, tak długo istnieje i nadal jest aktywne, co wiele mówi…

What? A social network started with funds from an AI mongering billionaire is weaving AI into its "features"? What kind of topsy-turvy reality is this??

State of the state
Or something like that. What's going on online and offline...
First, welcome aboard all new followers here, though I do recommend you follow @chuff instead as that's the main place I post if'n you really want to see what's occupying the echo chamber between my ears.
Speaking of #wafrn , anyone know of anyone providing hosted instances? Some time in the future I expect to replace this blog with a personal Wafrn. Kinda a big deal as #friendica has been my primary #Fediverse software for years, whether on someone else's instance or my own.
Life, there's not much to talk about, work, kill time, work, that's about it. Every now and then the fact that I'm growing old slaps me in the face, like last Sunday. At around 0300, I got up to use the bathroom, checked my apps and found Amazon was throwing money around. Well Ok, guess I'm working, day 6, leaving the house at 0330, few hours of work, then home, nap and errands, perfect. Grabbed second breakfast on my way home, and found I couldn't nap. That took a few days to recover from. That on top of my main gig burying me in work. Yay.
Valentine's Day came and went, me and Vik never really did much for it, so was just another day for me. Wrapping up the process of moving my investments that I inherited, the whole process will likely take to around the end of the year, only because the courts will have to be involved in some of that due to the lack of a will or TOD. Also getting my taxes done, same company, that took a while, joint return, and couldn't find Vik's 2024 so that might complicate things a touch.Got a flea market coming up, I'm actually prepaid for tables at Sunset Hills flea market at their community center for Mar, Apr and May. Still have to sell stuff here, running into problems on that front, each time I think the comics are sold, it falls through, and books should be a fairly easy matter. Once those are gone along with giving his mom's stuff to his family, this place will be mostly cleared out, so once legal matters are done we can downsize.
Speaking of downsizing, I think I know where I'm going to wind up, prolly somewhere around IllFallon... I mean O'Fallon, IL. Not real far from here, and certainly not really closer to my family, but I have to say I like that area. That's where I was delivering for Amazon, at O'dark 30, and gotta say, despite not being able to see things and mostly running in and out of suburbs, I gotta say I like it over there. I think somewhere over there or a little bit east, between I64 and I70 will likely be where I wind up. It feels comfortable, if feels like somewhere I could easily move in and just feel right. I've actually seen a property I like in Edwardsville on Marketplace, but that one would be best if'n my family would want to join me. Its not a large property, but its kinda triangular with one corner and the address in a cul-de-sac, and one side on another street. Could buy it chop it up and have street facing for three houses. But, the property has been on Marketplace for a while, so its either a zombie ad, something is wrong with the property, or its a scam. Oh well, obviously time will tell, but we'll see.March of the Covers is going on, just like this time last year, however this one is happening over on my Wafrn, just look for the hashtag #March-of-the-Covers or follow Chuff. Posts may get occasionally boosted over here. And as always we're building a playlist over on YouTube.
Pictures of me from the WebCam always look so far away, maybe if'n I move it to the shelf over there...
Nah, only improvement is that the camera isn't looking down at me. Oh well, at least y'all can see that I'm bald again, I did that for the new month after not cutting for 2+ months.
Any other news... Well, I'm recovering. Anyone with sense knows that eating at Jack In the Box is risky, but the food is so good... In a junky guaranteed bad for you way, which is why I grabbed breakfast for dinner last night on the way home. Considering how much of a fiasco things were at that store, my order took over 10 minutes to be made, I prolly should've expected this morning, but... Oh well, spent way too much time in the bathroom, limped off to work for a nice light day, then came home napped for an hour or so.
So, that's really everything going on in my #life , what about y'all?

Heyyyy everynyan
my IRL friends told me to make an account here and i said why not (even though i am SCARED OF SOCIAL MEDIA)
I heard it's less toxic out there so i gotta try
I wouldn't normally go out of my y2k shell, but since i kinda need commisions and possible interest in what i'm doing, i need to have some sort of social media, because sadly, in this day and age, you cannot go anywhere without any social media. Boowomp…
I hope i can be your friend! I'm kinda nervous to post this
Here's a MS Paint Doodle

Stepping Back From Social Media To Read a Book
I’m taking a break. After spending like two years in the worst parts of the Internet modeling the memetic spread of conspiracy-driven behavioral patterns and developing social media software as a side hustle, I think I’m going to take a step back and… I don’t know… maybe read a book? lol.
I’m a Computational Biologist who pretty much studies the memetics of conspiracy theories and how they act as another vector/epidemiological layer. I’ve also been working on various contracts for social media development stuff. Working on the shit I’ve been working on for years forces you to see the worst parts of people that they split off. It makes you hate everyone — and I mean everyone.

Your BlueSky Feed Is Porn You Didn’t Ask For Because Your Friends Are Gooners With a Severe Porn Addiction
A common complaint I see people make on Bluesky is: why am I being served so much porn or things I am not interested in? They will incorrectly believe that the algorithm is broken. It’s not broken. You didn’t know the people you knew as well as you thought you did. Porn addiction is a thing, and porn addiction is especially common with weebs. You’re seeing deranged shit because people you follow have porn addictions and are into deranged shit. So, though you may not be consuming porn, people in your network are. That activity kicks into your feeds.
The issue I have with that is that it essentially normalizes being sex pests in a space on the Internet. That sets the expectation that it is good—attractive, even—to act like that elsewhere. That expectation alienates relationships. Bluesky creates a cultural space that offers an unrealistic, bizarre representation of social relationships, which isolates and alienates the users who stay on there consuming erotica and porn like they do.
So, user repos in Bluesky have a property for likes. Bluesky’s underlying AT Protocol stores likes as first-class structured records in each user’s AT Protocol repository. In the AT Protocol lexicon, a like is an app.bsky.feed.like record type. Unlike a simple boolean flag on a post, it is its own record with a creation timestamp and a subject field that holds a strong reference to the liked record.
That strong reference is composed of an AT-URI and a CID. The AT-URI identifies the exact record in the network by DID, collection, and record key. The CID is a cryptographic content identifier that uniquely identifies the exact content of that liked record.
These like records exist under the app.bsky.feed.like namespace in the user’s repo. Bluesky’s repo model is built so that these repos are hosted on a user’s Personal Data Server and are publicly readable through the AT Protocol APIs. Because of that, the like record and its fields can be fetched, indexed, and used by any client or service that can query the protocol.
The protocol exposes operations like getLikes. This returns all of the like records tied to a particular subject’s AT-URI and CID. It also exposes getActorLikes. This returns all of the subject references a given actor has liked. Those API calls return structured like objects with timestamps and subject references directly from the public repository data.
Various feeds hosted by different PDSs use the likes property to construct the feeds that you see. Since the likes of people you follow are included in your social graph, along with your own likes, you’re going to get served the porn they are consuming. Because likes are public and anyone can write an algorithm to see everyone’s likes, you can clearly see just how much porn people are consuming.
Honestly, what started to turn my stomach about the people on Bluesky is how they behave across different contexts. If you look through the records of the posts they interact with, you’ll see them engaging with political posts in the replies like a normal person. Then, when you look through their AT Protocol records, you see hours and hours of them interacting with every kind of porn imaginable. I am not exaggerating. Hours of likes for porn posts within 1–10 minutes of each other. Am I sex-negative? A prude? No, this site is filled with furry, gay bara porn, lol. You can have a drink without being an alcoholic. The problem with these people is like people who can’t have one drink without drinking the whole fucking day; they can’t consume porn in healthy ways.
I think people assume that their feed is customized for them and based on their likes. No—feeds are generalized based on what everyone likes and then served to your subgraph. It’s not just about who you follow; it’s about who they follow. So if you follow someone who follows a lot of people with porn addictions, you will see porn. Bluesky isn’t weighting the algorithm to do this. Basically, it’s the people in your social network with furry, hentai, or trans porn addictions who are driving it.

Your BlueSky Feed Is Porn You Didn’t Ask For Because Your Friends Are Gooners With a Severe Porn Addiction
A common complaint I see people make on Bluesky is: why am I being served so much porn or things I am not interested in? They will incorrectly believe that the algorithm is broken. It’s not broken. You didn’t know the people you knew as well as you thought you did. Porn addiction is a thing, and porn addiction is especially common with weebs. You’re seeing deranged shit because people you follow have porn addictions and are into deranged shit. So, though you may not be consuming porn, people in your network are. That activity kicks into your feeds.
The issue I have with that is that it essentially normalizes being sex pests in a space on the Internet. That sets the expectation that it is good—attractive, even—to act like that elsewhere. That expectation alienates relationships. Bluesky creates a cultural space that offers an unrealistic, bizarre representation of social relationships, which isolates and alienates the users who stay on there consuming erotica and porn like they do.
So, user repos in Bluesky have a property for likes. Bluesky’s underlying AT Protocol stores likes as first-class structured records in each user’s AT Protocol repository. In the AT Protocol lexicon, a like is an app.bsky.feed.like record type. Unlike a simple boolean flag on a post, it is its own record with a creation timestamp and a subject field that holds a strong reference to the liked record.
That strong reference is composed of an AT-URI and a CID. The AT-URI identifies the exact record in the network by DID, collection, and record key. The CID is a cryptographic content identifier that uniquely identifies the exact content of that liked record.
These like records exist under the app.bsky.feed.like namespace in the user’s repo. Bluesky’s repo model is built so that these repos are hosted on a user’s Personal Data Server and are publicly readable through the AT Protocol APIs. Because of that, the like record and its fields can be fetched, indexed, and used by any client or service that can query the protocol.

The Virulent Infection of BlueSky by Extremely Online, Brain-Rotten Zombies from X Continues
So, it appears a new migration from Twitter to Bluesky is underway. It appears to be some of the most virulent former 4chan users possible. Yep, I got off Bluesky just in time, lol. I’ve been keeping tabs on a particularly virulent and toxic subgraph on Twitter for years. It pretty much stayed off Bluesky because they couldn’t act like abusive dumpster fires there. Welp, looks like they’re becoming more active on Bluesky. It’s not looking good over there.
That they are on the move says something. It’s sort of like how the US is suddenly a place that is hospitable to measles. It was all but eradicated here.
My husband likes to say that you can tell where not to be by where I am looking from somewhere else. I like fires. So if I am observing your platform or community from a distance, you probably don’t want to be there.
Edit:
I had originally posted the above on a now-defunct federated blog. It got blasted to Mastodon. Someone replied and asked what I think is causing this. I debated actually answering, then decided that I’ve had enough of the dumpster fire that is social media. I decided not to wade through social media tech discourse into what will mostly likely be an Internet argument with a complete stranger. I am a techie dragon, and I engage with things to learn how they work so I can tinker with them. I only engaged with tech discourse to get my hands on how the tech works. There’s nothing in it for me to be part of larger conversations. Arguing with random strangers on social media is not an epistemically useful format. I do think I should answer, though. Just on my blog.
I treat social media like I do an addictive substance. I do not believe in abstinence, but I do believe in harm-reduction paradigms, so when I see everyone overdosing on social media, I pull back and shut down a lot of accounts. The Fediverse instance where the first part of this blog post was posted has been taken down, moved to this blog, and this section appended to it.
I often use the word weeb pejoratively. Here, I am using it categorically. There really isn’t an “official” name outside of otaku or weeb culture. I am at the fringes and intersections of it as a furry. My husband is a millennial weeb. With that being said—
The migration is in large part because Bluesky is capturing the otaku/weeb niche of X. X hosted networks that were ecosystems of “anime fans.” These included anime and manga artists, doujin and hentai artists, VTuber fans, NSFW illustrators, fandom shitposters, niche fetish communities, and other chronically and extremely online content creators and influencers. That culture relied heavily on timelines, informal networks, and discovery through reposts, replies, and algorithmic amplification.
Elon Musk pretty much destabilized X’s ecosystems and social networks from multiple directions at once. Algorithm changes made reach inconsistent. Moderation created anxiety and uncertainty about what would get suppressed or unintentionally “viral”. Bots, engagement farming, and blue-check reply spam actively poisoned fandom conversations.
Bluesky is the memetic and cultural progeny of early imageboard cultures. I conducted a phylogenetic analysis of the memetics, which you can check out here:
Bluesky is a competitor of X for otaku and fandom communities. Bluesky has a lot of the aspects of old Twitter dynamics around which fandom culture evolved. Recently, Bluesky introduced something big in those communities: going live. Since X is no longer habitable for weebs, they are moving to Bluesky.
For example, the AT protocol already has PinkSea:
And, of course, there is WAFRN:
I cope and deal with issues via personal, private sublimation and not so much exhibitionism of my art or consumption of art. So, while I do make comic books and do a shit ton of weeby art, it’s for the purpose of sublimation, so I’m not too interested in being a part of a community. That’s a large reason I am not active in those spaces. I’m quite cynical, in general, so I am suspicious of any community — and I mean any community, at all. Honestly, I am mildly contemptuous of mass participation or any sense of belonging. So, my art stays private, because it is created for me – and just me.

I am just going to point out this setting right here:
That setting exists because most users on the fediverse do not want to be included in search results. Secondly, the fediverse has its own database. If you are someone who enjoys image board cultures with a Neocities vibe and you want to be discoverable, PinkSea or Wafrn—which have AT protocol services—might be better. I know for a fact that audience is on Bluesky, PinkSea, or Wafrn.
If you want to be indexed and would be on Neocities as an artist, you are more likely to be on Bluesky, PinkSea, or Wafrn (Wafrn is federated with the fediverse, too). You would probably not be on Mastodon. I am making a distinction between Mastodon, the fediverse, Bluesky, and the AT protocol. For example, Friendica and WordPress are not Mastodon. If you are on Mastodon, you probably do not want to be discoverable.
I am replying to you from my WordPress blog, and notice this:
I find it very interesting when people complain about discoverability, scalability, and virality on the Fediverse, even though most users don’t want that. Most users on the Fediverse do not want their posts to be indexed by DuckDuckGo or Bing.
I moonlight as a social media app developer and have my hand in a lot of subcultures. If you are an artist who wants discoverability and are within the niche NeoCities caters to, statistically speaking, you are on Bluesky, PinkSea, or Wafrn. There is a presumption of opting in with indexes on Mastodon. I know for a fact that many people who were on NeoCities jumped ship and are now on Wafrn because of drama going on there.
The horny shitposters who are into manga and anime and care about discoverability and being indexed are on Bluesky. By the way, there’s a shit ton of furry porn on my blog. I’m a furry. Most of the furries over here care about privacy, so they wouldn’t care about being delisted, considering there is a database for the Fediverse: https://fedidb.com/ .

Ja po zbyt długim byciu na fediverse i wchodząca na tumblr: :ablobfoxbongoterrified:
Nie, ale serio, wcześniej miałam porównanie tylko z facebookiem i twitterem, dlaczego nagle ta strona stała się dusząca i toksyczna w moich oczach? Lubię tę stronę, ale pseudo-aktywiści, boty i faszyści są cholernie męczący
W sumie, jestem tam teraz tylko dlatego, że wysyłam linki do zbiórek i proces tworzenia animacji… Ale w sumie to tyle… Jestem lewakiem, co można wyczuć, a tumblr to głównie liberałowie, faszyści i boty… Ta strona ma ciekawą historię, ale co z tego, skoro toksyna już ją pożarła? Nie możesz nic zrobić bez spalenia cię na stosie (Może nie tak mocno jak na twitterze/X/bluesky, ale wciąż…), albo nazwania cię rosyjskim trollem…
Po prostu ta strona jest dosyć przygnębiająca do patrzenia, bo miała wpływ na historię Internetu, ale skończyła w ten sposób :neomouse_eyebags:
Wiecie, smutny upadek strony z wyjątkową historią… Wiem, post to chaos, ale po prostu to co czuję…

Dobra, randomowo, ale uwielbiam emotki na wafrm, niby to nic szczególnego, ale są po prostu fascynujące, a fakt, że wyświetlają się na np. Mastodonie jest cudowny, wiem, post nic nie wnosi, ale mi to serio daje energię starych emotek z forum howrse tylko w lepszej wersji
Choć nie wiem, czy uda mi się znaleźć tę emotki… Tak, wiele było standardowymi, ale jedna emotka to był dosłownie napis "Lol" na jakimś znaku (Wiecie, taki do trzymania)
Większość SS z gry pochodzi z samej gry, ale nie z forum, co bywa smutne…

Niby doszłam tutaj… Tak, jak widać, zepsute i nie wygląda jak za starych czasów… Ale uwielbiam "CP-Pomocy!" głównie przez to jak skrót dziś ma zupełnie inne znaczenie…

I tak, CP oznacza w tej grze "Czarną perłę"… Ale wciąż, dziwnie się patrzy na ten skrót jako dorosła kobieta…

Ok, znalazłam "Bliższą wersję" tego jak wyglądało forum w tej grze
