Some people who want to leave #X wonder if #BlueSky is an alternative.
In our petition, we advocate using the decentralized #Mastodon. We do not consider BlueSky to be a sustainable alternative because it is another commercial service that spies on user data to generate customized #advertising with it.
The BlueSky Terms of Service https://bsky.social/about/support/tos
and Privacy Policy comprise 7100+ words . Nobody reads this; this is not an “informed consent” as required by #GDPR. We see the #universities here as having a duty of care towards their students and employees, whom they must protect from such data collection. Mastodon and the other #Fediverse
services are much more suitable for university communication.
BlueSky is just another data leech.
That's why you should sign the petition for #Unis4Mastodon
