While I was just deleting my remaining #Bsky accounts, I noticed this

Wow.

This is not normal..

Another very good reason to dump Bluesky

Privacy friendly my bottoms

And it only gets worse the longer and more you browse..

I have no clue what is blocked here exactly but if uBlock blocks it, it often has a good reason

So if people are not using an AdBlocker they at least load all this stuff extra

This is just bs

@stux

I've followed a few accounts here that are BLuesky bridges. . .I think I'll just unfollow them individually. I hope some of the bluesky people will come back or start up on Mastodon.

@FallsMom Here on Mastodon you dont have this problem 😉 also not if you follow people from Bsky

Since it's going through a bridge

@stux@mstdn.social logged into mine on blacksky.community and ublock is doing 0 blocks.

@nemesio Interesting!

@mat But thats not the point 😉

@stux I run PiHole at home to filter all DNS requests on my home network. It black lists a huge range of ad servers. Works a charm on a cheap raspberry pi sitting next to my router.

@stux

Here on Mastodon...

@agirvan Like it should be!

@stux Thanks!

FYI, I understand one can run their own #Bsky services but I would like to point out that 99% of the Bsky users can not get this running for a few bucks

The #Fediverse is made up of big and smaller servers that often require a super simple install and not a complete network

Again, how is this decentralized if it's almost made impossible to setup this yourself, let alone non-tech people..

I know for a fact there are plenty of services out there that offer Fedi servers without any tech know

@stux not to mention if the whole
Argument it’s to hard for most people to use Mastodon because of the instances. Then any self hosting rebuttal to me goes out the window …

If most people can’t figure out how to select an instance then no way in hell can they or will they self host

@64bithero So often they end up back on Twitter but with a different name

and hat..

@stux You can join the fedi with WordPress and a few plugins. I bet BlueSky can't do that.

@lordmatt Years ago already 😁

@stux Is there any chance of completely defederating from Bluesky ?
