beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

This is why I have been trying to warn about #BlueSky.

BlueSky has just been partially bought by a cryptocurrency company "Blockchain Capital" and appointed a blockchain / cryptocurrency expert to their board:

bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2

The board member is a bitcoin researcher involved with NFT analytics.

BlueSky describe the tie-up with Blockchain Capital as a "natural partnership" and says the blockchain company has "a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation".

fyi I wrote up a semi-technical bit on BS’s so-called decentralization here

And it hit hackernews here

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

which actually has some good back-and-forth with some actual devs and others. I think the BlueSky devs and ATProtocol hobbyists have some good ideas and good intentions, but they’re also being used by a company that’s owned by assholes and driven by greed.
