This seems like a clever way of saying they don’t have an AI team or plans so they have no use for the data.
Brilliant!
They also said it was decentralized which is not true.
I don’t believe this.
well there’s a protocol but everyone is on the main one, i don’t think theres even a non personal instance.
Yeah, I looked into it and the backend is proprietary, so the central owner can restrict features. Like for instance independent instances can only have 10 users.
It’s “decentralised” except only in extremely limited scope, the code is centrally controlled and the network remains largely, functionally centralised.
They’re capitalising on the decentralised, federated buzz while doing it so poorly they’re setting up users to say “oh people tried decentralisation, it doesn’t work, look at Bluesky”.
If it’s not open source, it’s not decentralised.
Trust me bro, just keep shit posing on here, we won’t change out “ToS”
BlueskAI on the other hand…
What’s the problem of training AI with my posts?
Nothing if you do it yourself but someone else doing it without your permission and making tons of money off of it and not sharing it isn’t very cool so this is nice.
Yeah, they should ask for permission, I don’t see the point of not sharing it though, they will only make tons of money if the AI is good, don’t they? I think ChatGPT and some other AIs are amazing and if they want my data for helping it, I would allow it.
LMAO
Can I get that written in a contract?
… for now
Nah, first you gotta get comfortable for a couple of years.
It’s basically pig butchering for social networks.
Why is this taking off but not Mastadon?
Better marketing
Which marketing and better how, exactly?
Can anyone please point me an example of Bluesky marketing that isn’t word of mouth or large-event headlines on the news?
no, this place only circle jerks about the fediverse blindly and hates anything with a modicum of attachment to reality.
It’s easier to use and has a recommendation algorithm.
How is it easier to use?
Because it has just one instance and choosing an instance is too hard to Twitter users
Bluesky gives you the option to choose an instance, too.
Barrier of entry is marginally lower. With mastodon you’ll have to make a decision on what instance you’re creating your account. With Bluesky there’s just Bluesky.
With bluesky ,the sign up has a section where you choose a server. The bluesky server is prefilled. Otherwise you add your own.
But not having that default option and instead having to have the user go research and figure out which server to use is an immediate turn off.
Mastodon has one big, official node, too, though: joinmastodon.com.
Yep. 100% this.
Bluesky has the hyper casual “barrier’” of entry that Twitter had

Oh it will as soon as the investors demand more ReTurN oN iNvEsTmEnT.
Then we leave that platform too. I have zero loyalty. Zero.
But they’ll have stragglers just the same as any major social media site. Even though many here have standards they won’t easily abandon, there are scores of people that won’t even know if/when AI started being used on the site or would care enough to leave if they did.
Plus every time we leave a platform we need to find or build a new one. The time it takes to get others to migrate and develop into a worthwhile community is hard to predict and it may not even work out. It sucks social media is such shit anymore, but it seems inevitable that it will remain that way given the landscape of the Internet at this point.
I say this as someone who’s drifted from Fark to Digg to Reddit to Lemmy over the past 20-25 years 🎈 (zero loyalty as well)
I only have it because my family chose that over Mastodon. Mastodon is better.
It’s a Public Benefit Corp structure, so legally investors have very little power.
Until they restructure the way OpenAI did.
It’s open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.
The same can be said of lemmy, mastodon or any publically accessible forum
Absolutely. I worked somewhere where we routinely had alarms go off due to botnets swarming us with weird (and obnoxious) massive download tactics (of publicly available user generated content, that is).
If it can be gotten by anyone, it will be gotten by LLM trainers.
