Trans rights 🏳️⚧️ (she/her)
Bluesky ain’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination… But I’m happy there are more alternatives. Despite some weirdness with moderation I have enjoyed my time in Bluesky so far. And the fact that more apps can be made on the AT protocol definitely makes it seem more legitimate in my eyes. Cool project imo
They do have an app but it’s only good for loading it. Their only currently supported way of a having a digital card is Google wallet (oddly not even apple wallet is supported yet)
Perhaps that’ll change someday
Unfortunately my transit system’s digital pass is not a pkpass afaik. It only works on Google wallet :/
If I can ever get a wallet app that I can put my transit card onto I’ll switch to graphene
I don’t think blueskys that bad. At least not yet. I’d prefer a fully featured federated thing but the fact is mastodon just doesn’t appeal to most people.
Blueskys moderation capabilities at least are quite nice atm
Disagree. Caitlyn Jenner fucking sucks but we don’t have to invalidate her perfectly legitimate, valid, and real gender identity to express disdain for her
Yeah I’m realizing I didn’t word that super well. Yes sync is a thing and they know that, but they don’t want to have to use Firefox on mobile because they think it’s slow
Yes that would actually be very helpful! I’ve had trouble doing that on the android version, and I have heard that can help show what exactly is causing the issue. I have heard some settings on ublock can cause this (which I have tried tinkering with)
I think they know about the cross device syncing but yeah think it’s too slow. Idk how long it’s been since they used it.
There is an issue I’ve had with Firefox on Android that I’ve tried to fix but haven’t been able to, where the first time I load a website in like… An hour or 2, it takes a long time to load. After that everything is pretty quick but the first load after the app has been suspended (is my guess) is slow
The problem is they apparently really value having cross device syncing between desktop and phone, and dislike Firefox on mobile a bit due to speed. Idk I mean yeah I think chromium browsers on android are technically faster (seems to me at least) but with no ads it’s way better
Hoping this could maybe help convince my friends who are just looking for a chromium alternative and won’t even consider firefox
That is quite unfortunate. However it seems like it could lead to more affordable gpus that do well enough? That would be nice at least
Lol I was just about to post this. Yeah this is a decision for sure. Wouldn’t be surprised if this causes another big spike in Lemmy usage

Hahaha, it’s a play on my name and the Pokemon yeah. But I am also a red dwarf fan so perhaps it has 3 meanings!
So many people asking what the point is while I’m over here enjoying my new system icon. Thanks for the post!!! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Only real reason I use fennec over mull is mull by default has a fingerprinting setting that, while being better for privacy, locks the app to 60hz and my phone supports 120hz. If 60hz doesn’t bother you then I think mull is the better choice. But they’re really similar at the end of the day
Yeah I’m kind of puzzled by it too lol. I wish they had just kept their original solution of using Macs to run iMessage. Perhaps if they had gotten popular it still would have been blocked, but their whole strategy of being super open about it is odd. I suppose they thought they could fight it but evidently that wasn’t the case.
Overall though I agree with the post, the app is really nice, the new android version is super slick and if they can get all the other connections working locally like they want, it’ll be even better
This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever read
