I think the best of both worlds would be if I could make an account on both and have one account essentially repost anything from the main account, unless I’m replying to someone specifically where it wouldn’t make sense to reply on both accounts.

That’s what I’d want from a bridge - something to connect an account at each end. If/when Bluesky suffers enshittification, it would mean that folks on Bluesky could just switch the direction of the bridge and start posting in the Fediverse. No sunk cost leaving you hanging on, no high barrier to moving.

Except Threads is on ActivityPub so is an instance in the Fediverse.

So my question is should she join some other instance of Bluesky that isn’t Bsk.social so it won’t crash?

There aren’t any, hence the meme.

I want her to have a good experience with decentralized networks

It is only notionally decentralised, she should just consider it as Xitter without the people actively trying to burn the world down with us still on it.

See also: Bluesky’s fedi-washing and some context for that.

On the upside, it was fairly brief while they did an update, which is what all websites have to do from time to time, including a lot of Lemmy instances with the new version out. So it shouldn’t spoil her user experience.

All toilets are if you get creative.

I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).

I’m hoping at some point that different services will allow shared logins (with APIs it should be relatively straightforward) or a separate ID service (ActivityPods?).

There are a few British Mastodon instances:

• https://mastodonapp.uk/
• https://mastodon.me.uk/

If we were to add another service, I’d want something a bit more interesting.

I’ve sorted a Guardian feed: !theguardian@rss.ponder.cat

Just looked it up - a sturgeon?

Peanuts are legumes, although they are usually classed as nuts. A worthy winner either way.

It is odd when I see people compare Bluesky unfavourably with Mastodon when a lot of the features they want are on *key forks.

I haven’t tried it but I’ve seen various comments that suggest it works well. Time to do some research…

Coconut has a lot of saturated fat, so I’d say unhealthy. Deep-fried Snickers on the other hand…

A counter-argument is that they are punishing mental illness:

In mitigation the court heard Ruane had mental health issues from childhood trauma and had alcohol dependence.

The defendant claimed he had no memory of sending the messages as he was “blind drunk” every day at the time.

Like the Prevent scheme where a “staggeringly high” number people on it are autistic.

Perhaps the Fediverse needs a helpful paperclip like mascot to help with on-boarding.

You can bridge the two now.

Not necessarily. Step 1: build track, step 2: build station, step 3: drive train out of station, step 4: reverse train back to station, step 5: plan out where your next station will be.

I’m not on many platforms though - no FB, insta, bebo, friends reunited, the old bird site etc.

I guessed you weren’t on Facebook or Xitter as they’re full of idiots.

There also seems to be an issue with some people where they don’t/can’t differentiate between opinions versus facts.

Wait until you try sarcasm!

the 3 stupidest people I’ve ever met online were all from .world

That’s a Hell of a claim!

What is the incentive for people to host an instance at the moment?

I liked the community that had built up and wanted to help that continue.
