I also wish ill to JK Rowling.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

I just did so on Bluesky. With a "may she rot in hell" cherry on top.

They can suspend me forever for all I care.

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 57 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I hope JK Rowling gets everything she deserves out of life. I hope life treats her as she does others. I wish upon her the consequences of her actions and words.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 33 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

lol. She’s rich and safe. Stop stressing yourself out about every little thing and go firebomb an health insurance office in her name.

[–] Nadru@lemmy.world 47 points 6 days ago (2 children)

We told them not to use Bluesky and what will eventually happen but they didn't want to listen

[–] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 22 points 6 days ago

They literally made tons of account on mastodon just to ignore them for this fucking bootleg of it, called bsky

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

I have a bluesky account on an alternate server, so they can't ban me for wishing ill on JK Rowling, even if they wanted to.

[–] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 34 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Um what? The hate for JKR is quite active on bsky. OP smoking crack; we hate that bitch.

[–] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Jessie gender got their account suspended because they said they wish ill to JKR. Was like the most polite insults you could say lol

[–] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

The mods walked that back right away.

[–] v01dworks@piefed.social 16 points 6 days ago

Yeah I’ve never seen anyone on Bsky say anything remotely positive about her

Or even neutral lol

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 40 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

This is why decentralisation is important. I assume the poster has no way to change Bluesky sites?

Like this is why they should join a Fediverse instance. Like blahaj.zone will probably suit them

No matter what people say about Bluesky, I will always say we should be using mastodon, until Bluesky makes good on true federation, it's still a platform that can be controlled.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago (7 children)

It did make good on true federation.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Isn't their federation really fucking weird though? Like you can't run a federated server unless you're capable of handling 100% of all the posts on the entire platform? That's a pretty huge barrier, and one could argue it's less "federation" and more "mirroring".

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (15 children)

Personally, its as simple as the ATProtocol is hard connected to Bluesky full stop. If Bluesky goes under, then AT will definitely suffer or fail.

The fediverse (AKA ActivityPub) is not reliant on just one entity, its many many entities implementing the same protocol. So its MUCH more resilient than AT.

But the good news is that we don't need to choose, as long as AP and AT both exist and keep going its going to be fine. The only issue becomes if services start only using AT over AP. Then we get a Microsoft situation where embrace extend extinguish occurs and we all become reliant on one not so benevolent corporation.

Im still going to root for the more open source protocol for the above reasons.

No. Their federation does differ from the fediverse's, essentially, people have PDSes (personal data servers) which are just dumb datastores. These store data like your posts, likes, follows and blocks publicly.

AppViews are the other part, these take the data from PDSes and index it, and sort out interactions/notifications.

AppViewLite, for example, can be self hosted on any computer, and can be set to only take posts from select users, and discard posts after a while.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Is this federation, though? I've always thought of federation as a technical description of a platform's network topology, that it is several nodes communicating with one another to provide an overall platform.

Like, an AppViewLite is basically analogous to a Nostr replay and no one describes Nostr as federated.

A more interesting conversation is whether grafting federation onto Bluesky is worth the effort. If indexing the network can be done for a reasonable price, which it seems to be, then I don't see why people would put in the effort. If an app view/relay goes bad then you can just switch and get mostly the same experience.

I still believe that the ActivityPub solution of the multi stakeholder platform is a better direction, but I don't think the Bluesky idea of super easy migration should be dismissed out of hand like it so often is on this side of the conversation.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's still federation. It's just pull-based rather than push based.
Bluesky was made to be a decentralised twitter from the beginning.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Meh, I still don't see it as federation, but that might just be me projecting my own definition. Like, if we accept that bsky is federated then that would mean Bing is federated, just for arbitrary HTML rather than predetermined JSON.

I hope she gets Parkinson's and cant write anymore.

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Have you read Harry Potter? It's not like she can write as It is.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I have read the entire Harry Potter series (before she outed herself as being scum). And calling her writing bad is disingenuous. She isn't a bad writer, or more accurately she wasn't. (It's notable that her writing started to degrade very sharply not long after she outed herself as a TERF).

She is a fucking horrid human being as are Orson Scott Card and Scott Adams along with a few others who's true colors shined through due to the pervasive nature of social media. But to blandly call their works "shitty" just as a lazy dig at them degrades you, not them. It makes your opinion worthless.

J.K. Rowling is an absolute dipshit asswipe who should be tarred, feathered, and run out on a rail anywhere she goes. And more people should say so as loudly as possible. But the Harry Potter books were beloved by millions for a reason. If only she had gone blind, deaf, and dumb after she finished writing them. 😒

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Eh, her works may not be so poorly written as to be shitty, but they're just a pretty average story with a good editor. Her action scenes were average, tension building slightly above, and her characters were below. I'm sure if you went through the books with a fine tooth comb you could find a witty sentence or interesting paragraph, but nothing that would really stand out.

I thought the books were aggressively mediocre YA trash from the start.

Hilarious considering one of their flagship features is community tags for content moderation. You'd think the TERF enablers would suggest tagging it as "non-TERF" or whatever. But no. Fuck em. Bluesky sucks anyways. They have comically short DM lengths and don't allow images.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 days ago

The bird site was broken before the psycho took over. Just brought the same shit to the new site.

[–] korthrun@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Bsky, mastodon, whatever. Microblogging is a trash format that we should move on from.

I actively wish JK harm.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Luckily here on Lemmy is a whole different story 🤣🤣🤣

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

I wish JK Rowling's brain turns into a mush

Oh wait that already happens

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 13 points 6 days ago

JK can Rot in Piss for all I care.
