I was never a big tweeter, but I find Bluesky to be friendlier in general, and I’m digging it :)
BlueSky is really just Twitter pretending to be Mastodon, but that’s a minor issue compared to the problems associated with platforms like “X” and TikTok today.
What matters most right now is killing off Twitter and breaking up the dominance of any one platform on social media. I really don’t care where people go as long as they get the fuck off of Twitter and TikTok. Mastodon and open platforms will eventually win out in a divided social media ecosystem anyway, in my opinion. Divide and conquer.
Bluesky doesn’t even have to be Mastodon. It just has to Twitter before it went bad.
Now you have everyone right of center on one Platform and everyone left of center on the other. Great …
Why do people of different political leanings need to be in the same entertainmart platform?
They’re social platforms, not entertainment, and it’s to prevent echo chambers
Exactly. They’re abusive assoles. Fuck them. We’re outa there.
3 more million needed for Mastodon, Threads and Blue Sky to beat Twitter.
How many does Threads have?
So, you’re asking what the thread count is?
Threads has 275 million.
The “pseudo” federated platform. If it flops they will just tell everyone “federation s*cks” but BlueSky isnt federated at all
Please don’t swear on the internet.
“Sucks” isn’t even a swearword! Are we j*st going to st*rt censoring normal w*rds now?
I think sarcasm is dead.
That’d be fuck*ng stupid.
Or perhaps fucking st*pid
Then federate it.
You are probably right here in how news agencies and other competing sites would/might phrase it if BlueSky fails.
Though what bugs me and logically does not make sense (to me) is saying federation is what caused or could cause a site or service to fail.
Its like saying my new shinny website failed because of the Internet, the Internet must then be the problem.
Yeah i have the same feeling about it, but its like that buzzword AI. If AI company fails its always the “AI” but no one understood what AI did in that project.
