Bluesky is now open without invites. First test. Was Jack Dorsey inspired by Hive?

Nach der chaotischen Twitter-Übernahme von Elon Musk, gibt es jetzt eine wahre Inflation von Twitter-ähnlichen Social Media.

Threads, Nostr, Mastadon, Inleo, Hive natürlich und jetzt das vom ehemaligen Twitter-CEO Jack Dorsey gegründete Bluesky.

@nerdtopiade war so nett und hat mir vor einiger Zeit einen Invite-Code geschickt, hab mir bsky kurz angeschaut, mir meinen Username gesichert, dann aber nicht mehr viel gemacht.

Seit letzter Woche wurden die Anmeldungen auf bsky geöffnet, d.h. man kann sich jetzt ohne Invite-Code anmelden, was bsky in den ersten Tagen 1 Million neue User gebracht hat.

Das Besondere an bsky ist der dezentrale Ansatz und viele Dinge davon erinnern mich natürlich stark an Hive.

Zentral dafür ist das AT-Protokoll, das es ermöglicht, dezentrale Social-Apps und Filter-Algorithmen (eigene Feeds) für bsky zu erstellen.

So dezentral und zensur-resistent wie Hive ist bsky damit aber nicht. Die unabhängigen bsky-Apps existieren auch noch nicht.

Jeder bsky-User kann mit ein bisschen Coding-Erfahrung einen eigenen Feed zum Beispiel zu einem Thema erstellen und die Benutzer können dann diese Feeds abonnieren. Feeds gibt es zum Beispiel für Krypto-Themen, Science oder Katzenfotos.

Das ist eine ganz coole Idee, um das Algo-Problem von Social Media zu lösen, wo die Plattform mit einem geheimen Algo die User-Feeds kuratiert und so viel Macht bekommt, was User sehen oder nicht sehen. Unliebsame Postings können dann zum Beispiel heimlich ausgeblendet werden (Shadow Banning) oder man muss zahlen, um überhaupt gesehen zu werden (X Premium).

Die Vision wäre weiters, dass man sich nur bei einer Microblogging-Plattform anmelden muss, aber trotzdem mit allen Usern aller Plattformen vernetzt ist.

Das wäre die Utopie, wird aber meiner Meinung nach alleine wegen unterschiedlichen Firmeninteressen wahrscheinlich nicht passieren.

Das Problem ist auch, dass jedes neue Projekt wie Nostr oder bsky wieder sein eigenes offenes Protokoll etablieren möchte, anstatt auf einen gemeinsamen Standard zu setzen.

Was sagt ihr zu bsky? Habt ihr es schon getestet? Hat sich Jack Dorsey von Hive inspirieren lassen?

After the chaotic Twitter takeover by Elon Musk, there is now a veritable inflation of Twitter-like social media.

Threads, Nostr, Mastadon, Inleo, Hive of course and now Bluesky, founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

@nerdtopiade was nice enough to send me an invite code a while ago, I had a quick look at bsky, got my username, but then didn't do much more.

Since last week the registrations on bsky have been opened, i.e. you can now register without an invite code, which has brought bsky 1 million new users in the first few days.

The special thing about bsky is the decentralized approach and many things about it remind me of Hive.

Central to this is the AT protocol, which makes it possible to create decentralized social apps and filter algorithms (custom feeds) for bsky.

However, bsky is not as decentralized and censorship-resistant as Hive. And the independent, third-party bsky apps do not yet exist.

Any bsky user with a little coding experience can create their own feed on a topic, for example, and users can then subscribe to these feeds. There are feeds for crypto topics, science or cat photos, for example.

This is a really cool idea to solve the algo problem of social media, where the platform curates the user feeds with a secret algo and thus has a lot of power over what users see or don't see. Unwelcome posts can then be secretly hidden (shadow banned) or you have to pay to be seen at all (X Premium).

The vision would also be that you only have to register with one microblogging platform, but are still networked with all users of all platforms.

That would be utopia, but in my opinion it probably won't happen simply because of different company interests.

The problem is also that every new project like Nostr or bsky wants to establish its own open protocol instead of relying on a common standard.

What do you think of bsky? Have you already give it a try? Was Jack Dorsey inspired by Hive?

Live your Secrets and Hive Prosper 🍯

I'm going to try this just out of curiosity but with little faith. I've seen these things too many times already. I'm getting old.

Normalerweise wollte ich noch ende 2023 mein Fazit zu Bluesky schreiben, aber seit meinem letzten Bericht von November hat sich da nichts getan.
Vielleicht wird es eines Tages mal eine richtige Alternative zu Twitter/X, aber im Moment habe ich keine Motivation dort meine Zeit zu verbringen.

Another shinny platform. Lol

I’ve seen how many people are now trying to enter the web 3 space. If I could recall jack was talking about building web 3, but this not being censorship resistance isn’t making it attractive for me, looks like another Twitter that just promotes free speech without really having one.

Seit dem öffentlich Zugang sozusagen habe ich mir auch mein Username gesichert. Die Plattform ist genauso wie Twitter oder Gab, natürlich mit dem Vorteil open-source und alles was dazu gehört. Was aus diesen ganzen Twitter-ähnlichen Plattformen wird, bleibt abzuwarten.

Not tried it... I don't think Dorsey really inspired Hive, but we have a great platform here with minimal censorship which it nice.

Wow
I’m sure people will be willing to have a Bluesky account since the owner is the former CEO of Twitter

Wenn ich bei Twitter jemanden mit einem Bluesky Link im Namen sehe, gleicht dies einer Warnung ala "Du wirst nun den dümmsten Take des Tages lesen". 😂

I heard about it before but I don't think I will bother. I am busy enough with hive so it doesn't make sense to me.

This is actually my first time of hearing about bsky and thanks for writing about it. It seems like it would be an interesting microblogging platform, though not Decentralised like hive, I would definitely give that a try. Have a great day.
