I just did so on Bluesky. With a "may she rot in hell" cherry on top.
They can suspend me forever for all I care.
I hope JK Rowling gets everything she deserves out of life. I hope life treats her as she does others. I wish upon her the consequences of her actions and words.
lol. She’s rich and safe. Stop stressing yourself out about every little thing and go firebomb an health insurance office in her name.
We told them not to use Bluesky and what will eventually happen but they didn't want to listen
They literally made tons of account on mastodon just to ignore them for this fucking bootleg of it, called bsky
I have a bluesky account on an alternate server, so they can't ban me for wishing ill on JK Rowling, even if they wanted to.
This is why decentralisation is important. I assume the poster has no way to change Bluesky sites?
Like this is why they should join a Fediverse instance. Like blahaj.zone will probably suit them
Um what? The hate for JKR is quite active on bsky. OP smoking crack; we hate that bitch.
Jessie gender got their account suspended because they said they wish ill to JKR. Was like the most polite insults you could say lol
The mods walked that back right away.
Yeah I’ve never seen anyone on Bsky say anything remotely positive about her
Or even neutral lol
No matter what people say about Bluesky, I will always say we should be using mastodon, until Bluesky makes good on true federation, it's still a platform that can be controlled.
It did make good on true federation.
Isn't their federation really fucking weird though? Like you can't run a federated server unless you're capable of handling 100% of all the posts on the entire platform? That's a pretty huge barrier, and one could argue it's less "federation" and more "mirroring".
No. Their federation does differ from the fediverse's, essentially, people have PDSes (personal data servers) which are just dumb datastores. These store data like your posts, likes, follows and blocks publicly.
AppViews are the other part, these take the data from PDSes and index it, and sort out interactions/notifications.
AppViewLite, for example, can be self hosted on any computer, and can be set to only take posts from select users, and discard posts after a while.
Is this federation, though? I've always thought of federation as a technical description of a platform's network topology, that it is several nodes communicating with one another to provide an overall platform.
Like, an AppViewLite is basically analogous to a Nostr replay and no one describes Nostr as federated.
A more interesting conversation is whether grafting federation onto Bluesky is worth the effort. If indexing the network can be done for a reasonable price, which it seems to be, then I don't see why people would put in the effort. If an app view/relay goes bad then you can just switch and get mostly the same experience.
I still believe that the ActivityPub solution of the multi stakeholder platform is a better direction, but I don't think the Bluesky idea of super easy migration should be dismissed out of hand like it so often is on this side of the conversation.
Yeah, it's still federation. It's just pull-based rather than push based.
Bluesky was made to be a decentralised twitter from the beginning.
Meh, I still don't see it as federation, but that might just be me projecting my own definition. Like, if we accept that bsky is federated then that would mean Bing is federated, just for arbitrary HTML rather than predetermined JSON.

Personally, its as simple as the ATProtocol is hard connected to Bluesky full stop. If Bluesky goes under, then AT will definitely suffer or fail.
The fediverse (AKA ActivityPub) is not reliant on just one entity, its many many entities implementing the same protocol. So its MUCH more resilient than AT.
But the good news is that we don't need to choose, as long as AP and AT both exist and keep going its going to be fine. The only issue becomes if services start only using AT over AP. Then we get a Microsoft situation where embrace extend extinguish occurs and we all become reliant on one not so benevolent corporation.
Im still going to root for the more open source protocol for the above reasons.

I hope she gets Parkinson's and cant write anymore.
Have you read Harry Potter? It's not like she can write as It is.
I have read the entire Harry Potter series (before she outed herself as being scum). And calling her writing bad is disingenuous. She isn't a bad writer, or more accurately she wasn't. (It's notable that her writing started to degrade very sharply not long after she outed herself as a TERF).
She is a fucking horrid human being as are Orson Scott Card and Scott Adams along with a few others who's true colors shined through due to the pervasive nature of social media. But to blandly call their works "shitty" just as a lazy dig at them degrades you, not them. It makes your opinion worthless.
J.K. Rowling is an absolute dipshit asswipe who should be tarred, feathered, and run out on a rail anywhere she goes. And more people should say so as loudly as possible. But the Harry Potter books were beloved by millions for a reason. If only she had gone blind, deaf, and dumb after she finished writing them. 😒
Eh, her works may not be so poorly written as to be shitty, but they're just a pretty average story with a good editor. Her action scenes were average, tension building slightly above, and her characters were below. I'm sure if you went through the books with a fine tooth comb you could find a witty sentence or interesting paragraph, but nothing that would really stand out.
I too am roundly disappointed at the prose of that children's series largely appealing to children and not adults who haven't moved on after thirty years
As you should be. Kids books should be just as good as adult books. Maybe not for the adults, but for the kids reading them.
Having lower standards just because 'it's for kids,' is ridiculous.
It's not like disney or dreamworks to half ass their kid oriented movies. They're often masterpieces in their own right. There's good reason that the lion king, the land before time, the road to el dorado, etc., are all viewed fondly even today. Hell, take it out of animation, even. Secondhand lions, wizard of oz, charlie and the chocolate factory... great stuff.
Writing for kids can be just as complicated and well done in characters, setting, and 'elements' of a story like tension. Compare the hobbit to harry potter. The words tolkien chose may have been simple, in comparison to his the lord of the rings novels, but everything else was pretty damn good.

I thought the books were aggressively mediocre YA trash from the start.

The bird site was broken before the psycho took over. Just brought the same shit to the new site.
JK can Rot in Piss for all I care.
I wish JK Rowling's brain turns into a mush
Oh wait that already happens
Hilarious considering one of their flagship features is community tags for content moderation. You'd think the TERF enablers would suggest tagging it as "non-TERF" or whatever. But no. Fuck em. Bluesky sucks anyways. They have comically short DM lengths and don't allow images.
Bsky, mastodon, whatever. Microblogging is a trash format that we should move on from.
I actively wish JK harm.
Luckily here on Lemmy is a whole different story 🤣🤣🤣
