You can.
Relay's are less expensive now, it's about 24 a month.app.wafrn.net is a tumblr thing with atproto support.
Cool! So can you point me at a non-bsky.app instance running the full BlueSky stack that federates with bsky.app and continues working even if bsky.app disappears or defederates with them?

It’s not over 30? Or on the verge of 40? I see a lotta 40+ memes and sentiments. At least in the communities I frequent.

As a 2,000 year old prepubescent girl, I don’t know which direction I’m skewing it.
As an ageless fifth dimensional being extending my influence into this world through this rotting meat sack I am confused by both of you as I still recall time as a singularity

I'm 18, feeling like a fetus in comparison XD
You're a fetus harry!
Especially poignant since this meme is 5 years older than you

One of the coworkers quickest to get kinda yelly about his opinions at work was a genx guy (older than me) who had very strong "classical liberal" opinions as well as the typical belief that he was being logical, not emotional, as he raised his voice while talking to us about policies he didn't agree with. He also had the typical misogynistic view that he was rational while women were emotional. One time he and I were getting a little heated in a shared discord chat and a mutual friend who was the admin muted both of us.
I told the friend something like "fair, you did try to change the subject and we ignored you, my bad." The older guy got super pissed someone controller his speech and he left the discord forever.
I've also seen my uncle get butthurt that I tried to meditate a discussion between him and my sister (she requested my help because he and my aunt would just both say their side against her and not let them talk.) I mostly just stopped them from interrupting each other and asked them to let the other person speak, and I did it both to my sister and my aunt and uncle.
They later complained about being told what to do in their own house.
While young people can be impulsive and judgy, I find that age does not always fix that. The people it doesn't fix get entitled and think their age justifies their beliefs and that they're automatically wiser than you.
I've had the same experience with some older folks, so there are of course exceptions. I borderline see myself as a young dude (~30) and nearly everyone I work with is older than me, and my communication with younger people as of lately has mostly been digital, and digital communication tends to be far different from physical one, so my experience might aswell be skewed and in the end biased.

So, bluesky doesn't work the same as the fediverse,
bsky.app is an appview. It doesn't federate, it just aggregates data and indexes it.
A PDS stores data.If you went to deer.social, and chose something like bsky.aenead.net as your hosting provider, you won't be using any bluesky infrastructure.

Idunno if it counts as ageism when they're talking about stupid behavior among people with minds that are factually, biologically, not finished developing. Same reason it isn't ageist to say "ten year olds are not allowed to drive cars because they aren't smart enough to do it responsibly"
Never said it was ageism but I am sure it is at least close to it and a good reason to look it up.
I agree with the part here being a nice culture compared to other "social" medias. However repatriating general stupid behavior just on kids is definitely ageism - not sure if that was OPs intention.
Don't quite agree with your comparison:
What you mention is more of skill learning process. Social media is more of a proper behavior to have - I think here the age doesn't matter nearly as much as your surrounding. -

wrote last edited by [email protected]But then will it still federate with Bluesky infrastructure and data?
Let me know if I'm being unreasonably Mastodon-centric here, but I guess my standard is if I can own* my own infrastructure but still federate data with the rest of the world. Without that federation, it's cute but doesn't really feel or act like the fediverse, you know?
* Or use one of many trusted providers.
