Which is at least less than all the other big platforms are taking.

Or maybe the original post was simply muted for a different reason.

There’s also been huge waves of spam account attacks on Mastodon recently.

Not inherently. But since both Mastodon and Bluesky use some sort of public protocol, it is possible that people will develop some bridging software that allows both protocols to talk to each other. I think some people are already trying to build something like that, but I have no idea how well it will work/what the trade-offs will be. Maybe not every feature can be easily translated between the protocols.

But they’re (allegedly soon) federated and say they want to give control of the protocol over to an independent standards body. So like, half of the stuff you’re saying might not even really apply here.

I’m curious what lesson learned from twitter easily also applies to bluesky, as that’s genuinely not very clear to me.

Here are some that I enjoyed:

So what?

What do you mean by that?

Ahh “this doesn’t affect me”, the pinnacle of enlightened politics

Always eat the billionaires first.

Huh, seems like you’re right or at least I couldn’t find anything like that. I feel like theoretically ot should be able to do that, so I’m gonna snoop around a bit more and maybe file an issue. Doesn’t help that kbin’s UI is still pretty atrocious at the moment, but the project is still fairly young and developing at a good pace at least.

You can follow people and do regular posts on kbin in case you didn’t know yet.

Why do people consider bigger age gaps a problem? Because there’s often a difference in maturity and experience that makes it harder to communicate, have the same goals and often puts the younger party at risk of being taken advantage of.

So if you think that the thing the age gap is a stand in for, a gap in maturity, doesn’t apply, there’s also no reason to get hung up on the number and mistake the map for the territory.

I think it’s good that you’re questioning yourself though and you should probably keep being a bit cautious about the situation and reevaluating yourself until you can be certain you two are on the same level.
