Just link the Bsky posts. I like Aftermath as an outlet but when a "news" article is just 2 embedded posts and some fluff, why not just directly link the source?
Honestly, I mean actual journalism could’ve at least figured out the false claim, what page was removed to comply, why that was a false (or not false claim), and report on that… instead of just… “here is what he said:” quote “and to summarise, he said that.”
It's for sure not a legitimate process.
DMCA doesn't entitle you to force a service that complies with DMCA requests down.
I actually linked to the itch(.)io Bluesky post, before deleting it and posting this article for accessibility reasons.
Not everyone is comfortable using Bluesky.
I think one of the better compromises is to post a direct link to the source (bluesky, twitter, whatever), and then post a screenshot or quote as a top level comment.
That way people can follow the link if they want the community responses over there or just read the copy of the post here.
It's a pity all social media can't just be normal links so we could actually talk about things instead of fussing with how we share them.
Not everyone is comfortable using Bluesky.
Why? What’s wrong with it? What have I missed?
It's a centralized Twitter clone run by a faceless vulture capitalist corporation that's now full of the second worst people to occupy Twitter. At best they're harvesting all of your data, at worst they're prepping the data they've harvested to be handed over to the trump administration and whatever AI powered hyper Nazi tool theyll use to set up raids on dissenters.
It's building out federation and you can already host your own account and control your own data and run your own feeds. The investors don't have control of the company (public benefit corporation).
The only difference between it and Mastodon in terms of scraping is that scraping public data is a bit easier. Nothing about Mastodon makes that scraping difficult, it's just more annoying to do. The company itself is not doing AI BS.
except, its not. they control the keys to the kingdom and will until they change some fundamental parts of their architecture.
heres a great indepth, technical read on why bluesky controls even your 'independent' 'instance'
I agree, though a more accurate summary is that their goal is not decentralization but providing an easy exodus from any rogue instance of itself. More specifically, Bluesky cannot control your own relay if you self-host it, but you must host basically the entirety of Twitter, including everything that was moderated.
Well that's an excuse for a couple of the problems, doesn't solve the user base problem, which still makes it awful. LinkedIn without their data policy is still a god awful social media site.
Wow, that is certainly a take.
Wow. I've got a pretty grim outlook on the incoming administration, but even I'm not this paranoid.
Sad to see you catching downvotes for answering a question.
I agree that not everyone is comfortable with all the different platforms, and I understand you opting for something potentially could be viewed by more people because of it.
