Another interview with Bluesky CEO Jay Graber, but this one features maybe her best articulation yet of Bluesky's vision and appeal. "Nobody is fully grasping that this is potentially the last social identity you have to create." It's a "digital passport that moves with you." wired.com/story/big-interview-…

They say that, yet the verified identity is local to the Bluesky PDS. It doesn't federate. Some other instance, in the future, might implement completely different verification scheme. So yes, it moves with you, as long as you keep your data on the official BlueSky instance.

Also. There are no other instances.

They went from having great promise into yet another Twitter clone.

hmm. I have not read the interview yet, so maybe net-net it's a good thing. But at least out of context, this sounds more or less like WeChat. Or like what Musk wants to turn Twitter into. Quite terrifying.

and perhaps too ambitios for the thing that many hope to be a Twitter replacement, nothing more, nothing less.

@pronichkin It was always meant to be much more than a Twitter replacement from the beginning, the site/app was really meant mostly as just a protocol demo at first until Elon happened

@mackuba well but now that it happened, folks would hate it for someone to move their cheese and turn their beloved twitter replacement into something else.

@pronichkin @mackuba It hasn’t developed with Mastodon’s decentralization, but it has the potential, which is promising at least in theory. Let a thousand flowers bloom, etc.

@Kierkegaanks Not sure why it’s necessary to comment on her appearance. For example, I am stunningly handsome, but I don’t like people mentioning it.
@Kierkegaanks regretfully

They'll never be able to kill Mastodon or any other decentralized service. That"s because too much of the userbase wants nothing to do wirh the corporate stuff

Pardon me for making a comment about a woman's looks, but BlueSky's Jay Graber doesn't look human.
Has she ever fogged a mirror?

@dch The AT protocol allows federation, but most users are on Bluesky’s main service. The ecosystem has the capacity for federation, no?

this assumes people want to be associated with an online persona that is easily doxxed. Also, not everybody wants to live in a centralized ecosystem of ads forever, with content fed to them by the highest bidders.

Looking at Trump USA tracking and screening people's social media history, I'm not sure that a perpetual single social media presence should be an actual goal.

I understand that Mastodon is generally a hostile place for sharing comments from Graber, but it’s nevertheless surprising and unfortunate how many folks decided to respond by commenting on her appearance. I’m a hot-blooded man like the rest of you pigs, but take a beat and try harder not to be gross jerks.

That's disgusting. Not supporting a website doesn't mean it is okay to objectify a human being like that.
