 Bluesky announced DMs today. Yikes. https://i.nostr.build/6G2YW.jpg 
 What a pile of garbage 🙄 
 I had such a high hopes for them a couple years ago... 
 It seemed interesting last year. “Seemed” is the keyword here.  
 I’ve been thinking... Would it be possible for bluesky to integrate into the #nostr protocol at some point?! How valid would that be?! 
 I guess technically they could migrate from their own AT protocol, but they would never do that. They want to recreate Twitter in their own image. 
 Sometimes, whoever arrives first takes the race! And Twitter checked first. Trying to do the same, you even win fans, but history shows us that you don’t win the race, without something different and innovative. The threads is something had the proposal to give way to those who hated the actions of Elon, and the platform. Result?! It’s only there because your brother has cash. 
 For what?

 This screenshot gives me cancer 
 I'm sorry 🫂 
 LOL wild 
 *Checks calendar. April 1st?

No. 
 How on earth do they maintain this crazy pace of innovation. Truly impressive 🚀 
 Geeeeeez. We’ll read your dms and you’ll like it 🤣 
 But only a limited amount of people can do that ⚰️ 
 And really, it's for your own protection. You should be thanking them.  
 To whatever spooks are reading this thread we thank you for your courage and personal sacrifice in keeping our nations safe and secure 👀 
 This is somehow worse than X. 
 Well, they wanted to recreate Twitter, but be different 😂 
 It’s a safe space for internet Karens. 
 Nice open protocol with moderators and privileged surveillance 
 This is wild, and this is supposed to be the next best thing?! No wonder @jack ran for the hills 
 Yah, fuck them 
 That’s like spying with a bunch of extra steps 
 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 
 Facebook level of bullshit. The first time Facebook censored one of my private messages, was when we parted ways.

 So their privacy policy is just "trust us bro"?

wow, a government registered corporation running a sham of an open protocol is a man in the middle 
 😂😂 Essentially. 
 Are we completely sure bluesky isn’t a practical joke? 
 I'm not sure how practical it is, but Bluesky is definitely a joke. 
 well done 😆 
 So, it just another ”Trust me , Bro” social media platform.😬
I’m sticking with my Nostr. 
 It was always that, but I didnt expect this extent 
 💩 
 Whoa

 Yea no thanks, SimpleX is the way to go 
 We pinky swear we won’t look. It’s just access for “safety” said every government ever 
 Because of course it's for safety... Comrade. 
 Why do people use bluesky? What about it is better than twitter?

 Never tried Bluesky and never will.   
 "Privacy is necessary for an open society." 
 Encryption to be added when we find a reliable way to decript all, just for your safety.
Trust us bro, we good 🐱 
 When will they start asking to see our papers? 
 😆 
 Pretty hilarious…

“In rare cases, the Bluesky moderation team may need to open your DMs to investigate broader patterns of abuse, such as spam or coordinated harassment. “

and

“We intend to fully support end-to-end encrypted messaging down the line.”

The trust and safety narrative is getting really funny on some ways. 
 Eewww. 
 Niet Comrade. 
 “Safe” is a marker.

They forgot “effective”. 
 rip 
 "tracked internally" o,O 
 Vish kk

 Seeing users so exited and then touting HTTPS protocol encryption as being secure enough and people celebrating is amazing. 
 Ugh 
 Another  @jack company turned honeypot for surveillance. Color me shocked.

 This is true. They also have more users than nostr. Why? 
 People like being ruled over 
 Better marketing team 
 Good lord... no images.. no encryption.. and they can read my DMs? I appreciate their transparency but why would anyone even USE that platform....?  No wonder Jack left..

 seems like a real fiat app to me 
 Bluesky is absolutely proprietary to me, so I'm not using it. I learned my lesson when I deleted my account on Revolt due to that type of toxicity. 
 what about all the serial dick pick senders? 
 How can BlueSky see DMs for the whole AT protocol network?  Or is it only for the main BlueSky server? 
 🤣
