Public = consent for the public to see it. That includes the public on Bluesky. It was consensual. And the ruckus was in fact about Bluesky in particular. That's why the same project already supported other protocols without a big ruckus . In general, "I want my stuff on Bluesky but don't want to deal with cross-posting to multiple different platforms and keeping up with responses on all of them" And, "I want my stuf…

> Your Mastodon timeline is only made up of posts from accounts you follow, and does not pull together posts from the whole network like Bluesky’s custom feeds. This seems like a major win for Mastodon. Bluesky is clearly spinning this as a positive, however, so what am I missing?
As a meaningful example: someone (not BlueSky themselves, I don't believe) published a "Quiet Posters" feed. I have subscribed to that.

you have been repeatedly posting this incredibly niche complaint for years at this point

Unrelated to engineering but the recent rebrand to a dead butterfly logo[1][2][3] may be off brand for a platform wishing to communicate a more open, social Internet built on first principles and scientific rigor.
