Long live Activity Pub.
Same as the old boss…
Lol, Blusky fan boys are quite active today. I’m sure this millionnaire’s toy will be better than the previous one, good luck.
Let me get this straight:
- Person A makes a social network
- People flock to it
- Person A sells the social network to person B
- Networks does a 180, destroying communitie; people outraged.
- Same person A makes a social network
- People flock to it.
- [surely we can predict what is going to happen here, right?]
This one is probably also run by a right wing techie as well
I’m OK with that, as long as they keep their mouths shut.
Bluesky can fuck right off as well. I tried it to see if it was any different than Twitter but I had to nope out after 10 minutes.
I’ve never understood the whole Twitter formula anyways. Scroll through endless ramblings of people I don’t care about? No thanks.
There are far better places to stay informed about certain topics or get in touch with people you know.
Not every social media format is for everyone, no need to be hostile about it. I just can’t bring myself to engage with TikTok and Reels and such, but other people really like them and why would that be a problem for me?
Well, I do believe twitter makes people less intelligent^* which lead to Americans electing Trump (twice even), which eventually impacts me somewhere down the line.
^* Because the focus on short sentence and the engagement algorithms favours highly polarised angry one liners that trigger primal emotion and is a successful assassination of any intelligent discourse.
And I say that having seen the progressive brain rot of my parents after they retired and started doomscrolling on twitter and being bombarded by more and more extreme messages, until it became a constant stream that can be summarised roughly by “brown people = bad”.
What about his comment is hostile?

Yeeeah, none of those are particularly hostile sounding to me. He just doesn’t like the platform and is stating so. Notice how he didn’t say something like “Anyone who likes BlueSky can fuck right off”. He shared his opinion on an inanimate webpage, thats all.
There isn’t a better place to get sports news than twitter. I’m seeing a lot of sports writers personalities start to post on Blue sky. I love it.
Twitter is dead. Long live [name]. I saw this show before.
Maybe they should have done this about a year ago.
I like the X on top of the bird. Nice
Is there any FOSS Bluesky client. I want to give it a shot after so many artist moved to it from Xhitter. Even some game dev like Localthunk(Balatro) and ZUN(Touhou) moved to it.
