there’s quite a few people in this thread with the same weird vitriol as reddit had.
if someone uses bluesky and you don’t, then why make yourself upset over it? i have both mastodon and bluesky. i use both.
I’m not sure why everything has to be a weird competition. some weird us vs. them shitfight.
its literally just a social media platform. jeez.
Because we all hate corpos.
May the corpos die
its literally just a social media platform. jeez.
And we know what kind of control the platform owners have. “Just” doesn’t cut it I think.
Because I have seen 10 posts about how Bluesky is the new Twitter on my Lemmy feed in two days. I overreacted a bit, but what you say goes both ways. Absolutely use what you like but there is no need to spam a new platform like that.
The same happened when everyone moved over from Dig to Reddit back in the day. It’s really annoying for like 2 weeks with everyone talking about it, and then it calmed down.
Use word filters for the things you don’t want to see.
Same as the old boss…
Maybe they should have done this about a year ago.
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.
Twitter is dead. Long live [name]. I saw this show before.
I love that the people who weren’t smart enough to leave Twitter two years ago are now eagerly jumping from one frying pan into another.
Fortunately there have been a few who learned their lessons a bit late and came over to Mastodon.
But the rest of them? The one who tolerated the racism and misogyny that Musk brought with his red pilled idiots? Let them have Blue Sky and the rest of us can watch as history eventually repeats itself.
Long live Activity Pub.
Bluesky is dead. Long live Mastodon.
Maybe we need to start writing our own articles like this.
is bluesky privately owned? What is preventing this whole thing just happening again?
I like the X on top of the bird. Nice
Lol, Blusky fan boys are quite active today. I’m sure this millionnaire’s toy will be better than the previous one, good luck.
The way I look at it, I know it’s probably going to end up being shit in the end, but it’ll be a few years until that happens, and it will be fun in the meantime.
Just because you know I’ll have to leave at some point doesn’t mean that you don’t enjoy the party while it lasts
And then what? You’ll move to Truth social? Then Thread? And then to X2? Meanwhile there’s a decentralize alternative that gives back the control to users, you’re welcome to join.
I don’t think it’d have to be either or. People can join both or just one it doesn’t really matter, If it ends up being another dumpster fire then people will move off just like they did X.
Most people will go where most of the people are going and that’s blue sky not Mastodon.
I disagree. People that didn’t left twitter when Musk took over are like people who didn’t vote in the US election: enablers. In my opinion, if you accept to take part in the nazi shithole that X is, you are in the end validating it’s existence.
What are you disagreeing with exactly because I didn’t say anything about X.
I’m taking about Mastodon versus bluesky
I think joining bluesky is validating another for-profit business that will do anything to profit from it’s userbase. Like facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Titktok, etc. the ONLY goal of capitalist business is to generate profit, so they will throw you under the bus the very second they think they can make more money by doing do. But yeah, you’re free to join bluesky until it becomes so shitty that you’ll want to join the shinny new capitalist alternative, created by the exact same people lol.
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.
I’ve noticed quite a lot of devs are moving over to blue sky. I feel like there’s some blog post I’ve missed or something which everyone has paid attention to. Why are they doing it now? Twitter has being shit for ages.
Seems their official/main app is FOSS
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 doesn’t really change your point at all, but I remember reading the tech news surrounding the Twitter sale to Musk as it was happening. If memory serves, Musk literally made the $420/share purchase offer as a joke, a joke that several lawsuits were filed to decide it was a serious and legally binding offer.
He memed his way into owning Twitter against his will, and then burned down everything to assuage his ego. But because he’s a goddamn billionaire there are literally no repercussions.
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?
What about his comment is hostile?
These parts:

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.
If I want an echo chamber, I’ll just go back to reddit. Bluesky is ass.
