It was tho there has to be a line. Feet stuff is literally a fetish.
Per the original article:
Update: After this article was published, Bluesky restored Kabas’ post and told 404 Media the following: “This was a case of our moderators applying the policy for non-consensual AI content strictly. After re-evaluating the newsworthy context, the moderation team is reinstating those posts.”
Wait, you mean to tell me this meme didn’t have the full context included? Am I to believe that I shouldn’t take memes seriously and get into fights on the internet with strangers?!
Newsworthy context?
It was playing on all the screens in a govt. building for 5 minutes. The staff didn’t know how to stop it so someone was running around manually unplugging screens. I’d say that’s pretty newsworthy
The non consensual part would be my poor eyes seeing it but I’m not on Bluesky because it’s a corporate imitation of federation
Is it? I thought it was just an imitation of Twitter. In what way does it even pretend to be federated?
You can spin up your own Bluesky instance
…which is still managed by the Bluesky central server and can’t connect to peer instances without that server.
That’s not quite true afact.
There are 3 types of servers:
- Personal data server (actually hosts your post)
- Relay (aggregates posts from all PDSs, responsible for federation of PDSs)
- App views (generates feeds from the relay)
Bluesky hosts the only relay I’m aware of, because relays are very expensive to host. But afaict anyone can host a relay.
So if we’re to describe it:
PDSs are nations states
Relays are the federation of those nation states App views are like the ambassadors of the federation.Except that PDSs can be part of multiple federations, and app views can be ambassadors for multiple federations. Ok not a great analogy.
Can two relays communicate with each other?
I don’t think so?
But a single PDSs can talk to multiple relays.
And I think an app view can talk to multiple relays (or at least switch between them)So Bluesky doesn’t have any federated servers, and couldn’t federate with itself even if there were other servers.
It’s not fediverse.
It’s not Fediverse™ because it’s not activitypub.
But that doesn’t make it not federatedJust because it uses a different mechanism to achieve federation you’re going to say that it doesn’t count as federation? That’s wild.
PDSs get federated by relays.
You can have multiple relays which means you have multiple federations. This is similar to how the Fediverse ends up with pockets completely defederated from each other.
Except that a PDS can be in multiple relays (federations) which the Fediverse can’t do.You’re right that currently there is no meaningful federation because there is only one relay, and it’s a problem that the cost is so prohibitive. But to say that it isn’t a Fediverse is kinda disingenuous.
How do we really know it was nonconsensual though?
Just the doubt is enough to not do it. Unless you ask the same question about the myriad of porn videos which circulate the internet
