Unfortunately that's standard for pretty much every service in existence until the government determines otherwise or the users demand it en masse. No company is going to willingly expose themselves to any more risk than they absolutely have to. There's zero benefit to them.

30 million users and still nobody likes my posts

Ok......and why would they pay YOU that money? Wouldn't it be companies and governments they pay?

Then the person liable to you would be the person doxxing you, not Bluesky themselves unless Bluesky themselves was the party that doxxed you and in that case I don't think a court would hold you to the arbitration.

That is an ass pull if I've ever heard one.

Let me make sure I understand your comment correctly.

You're saying that if you post information publically, on a platform whose whole concept is that everything is public, and someone uses information you posted there to identify you, stalk you, break and enter, and then assault you.......that it's the fault of the service you used to post that identifying information?

That's the arguement being made?

Tried it last night for a hockey game. I still think I'm not using it correctly but people were nice.

Let's not call disabling the right to sue a "business risk". That's like calling the right to stop paying for the service a "risk" - it's riskdiculous.

I didn't like Twitter as a social platform, but I did use it a lot for news on current events, such as how is the traffic on my route home, and why am I stuck in traffic, and how many miles ahead of me is the fucking accident?

Handy for communication during some kind of emergency that floods the phone network, but that's pretty niche. Anyway, I interact a little on Bluesky but mostly it's just a time killer like TikTok or whatever. Twitter was super easy to quit between the Musk take over and moving away from DC.

We've seen Disney try but then withdraw an attempt to enforce arbitration when a lady died from an allergic reaction in their* restaurant and their partner had signed up for Disney+ free trial. It's not unimaginable a court would hold you to it since we're already bonkers land where forced arbitrary is legal.

Mastodon has around 1 million active users
Bluesky has around 3* million active users

Bluesky doesn't have a decent way to see active user count, but it is likely higher than 3 million

Mastodon retains 10%, Bluesky retains 10% at worst

Any maps app, especially Google Maps, would do this as well.

Man, people love Left wing Gab.

Eh... what I really wanted to know was when they are going to clear the wreck and whether that stupid mother fucker died so I shouldn't flip them off as I drive by. Can Google Maps tell me that?

I didn't really want to out myself as the asshole wishing for someone's death. But here we are.

Jack Dorsey is not part of Bluesky, maybe you don't get things because you don't pay attention.

There’s no right or wrong way. For it to be fun for an event like that you need to follow lots of people in that space. Like journalist, reporters, beat writers and analysts. However if you don’t want that content in your feed full time you could try searching one of the teams hashtags and use the latest tab to follow along. You can also take all those suggested follows and make a list to pin to your BlueSky front page without following them and just goto that feed during games.

...and why not?

That's like calling the right to stop paying for the service a "risk"

But...that's what it is? I promise if they could remove that risk with a few words in the TOS, and it was legal, they'd all be doing that too.

The need to give everything a political stance these days is maddening and IMO very divisive.

[email protected]

It didn’t say anything except share some stats. What part of that was disgusting?

[email protected]

That that many people are willing to hop on another VC funded platform.

Oh interesting, thanks! I figured out the hashtaga bit but a lot of fun popped up without the hashtaga etc.

I suppose I'll just keep muddling along and figure something that works for me while trying to be a net positive influence!
