  • Bluesky is decentralized, its just decentralized in a different way than Fediverse apps. A lot of fediverse people assume all decentralization would look like ActivityPub, so they just say its fake decentralization rather than learning how it works. (I know because I used to do the same, then I realized how little I understood it from this great blog post, and have since learned a lot more about it.)

    There is already alternative infrastructure available (i.e. Blacksky and a variety of other applications hosted using ATProto (you can see a few here: https://bsky.social/about).

    You can use any of these apps while maintaining full control of your own data by running your own PDS, or using any community maintained PDS. If you already have an account on the Bluesky PDS, you can migrate it, retaining all of your data. If you dont feel like migrating yet, you can also just export your rotation key, which would allow you to maintain control of your account even in the event that the Bluesky PDS does become evil or something.

    Speaking of ATProto, sprk.so is a similar upcoming app, although I think its going to be more similar to TikTok than Vine.


  • What doesn’t seem clear-cut? My only point here was that using Lemmy does not directly fund the creator of it.

    You support one thing who’s creator has questionable views but not the other. The main difference seems to be that you like one and not the other.

    You’re making assumptions about me. I use Piefed, not Lemmy. I also do not believe that this situation is enough for me to not support Framework. All I’m saying here is that supporting Framework is for the most part direct financial support, while one can easily support the Lemmy as a whole, without providing financial support to the creator with questionable views.

    I don’t care to debate about whether this makes supporting Lemmy better or worse than supporting Framework. I only on what I feel is an oversight in the comparison made by the comment I originally replied to.

    If you believe the threat of a company scanning a Jellyfin server in an attempt to find copyrighted media is a realistic one, then that’s fine. I do not.

    your more worried about the data that secures your media more than the actual security of the media?

    As I said previously, friends and family use my server. Many who are likely to fall for phishing attempts after their email is leaked in a breach like this. I believe the likelihood of them receiving a malicious email from an attacker pretending to be Plex after a breach is much higher than a company successfully scanning my server for copyrighted materials.

    Edit:

    Like I’ve said a few times. I agree that this should be changed. I do very much hope that Jellyfin does so, and I do feel that it’s worth warning users about. I also still find Jellyfin to be a better option for me than Plex. My own risk tolerance allows for the incredibly tiny possibility a company successfully finds media on my server.

    There is no point in continuing this discussion, as we simply disagree, and that is not going to change here.
