We have a lot of options for all social media and other apps, but it is hard to catch people’s attention. How can we make more people use these platforms rather than a platform that p.dophiles run

    I saw a post about Upscrolled and commented that people should stop joining centralised social media because they all end up the same way, and I got a downvote. On Lemmy.

    My friends were all excited about bluesky when that launched, and I told them to join the fediverse because bluesky was just Early Twitter. They didn’t listen, then bluesky welcomed ICE. Now they’re excited about upscrolled, and I told them to join the Fediverse, and they still aren’t listening.

    All of which is to say, I have no fuckin idea my guy. People are weird.

      You can both host your own ATproto PDS and even sign up for or migrate to third parties like Blacksky; for now. I won’t be surprised if Bsky corporate started getting hostile to that and closed-sourcing ATproto and both paywalling self-hosted PDSes and C&Ding third parties like the aforementioned Blacksky at some point though.
