It’s sad that Bluesky was chosen over Mastodon as the standard Twitter alternative when Mastodon is actually decentralized
To those saying it isn’t decentralized. Most people don’t care. Bluesky is an easy to use Twitter alternative. People use it over others because of it’s ease of use and popularity. The average user doesn’t care about the how.
She basically admits that BlueSky is not decentralized. “If you don’t like the moderation, just go build your own app” yeah cool that’s exactly not the point.
I hate how bluesky is seen as a revolution while fediverse devs have been doing shit ton of work for years
I hate how bluesky is seen as a revolution…
I’m pretty sure that’s just the establishment liberal media. A real revolution would mean upending their own way of life.
I’m like 95% sure these VC junk apps just pay influencers to join and everyone else follows. I say 95 because I know other platforms have done it, I’ve just not seen the specific smoking gun for BS yet. But that’s probably just because of NDAs.
They paid marketing money.
And better work at that
CopeSky would be a better name. It will have to close up shop once investors realize it’s not Twitter 2.0.
Or that it is Twitter 2.0 and Twitter wasn’t a good investment until Musk overpaid for it.
If Twitter lost money for the rest of its existence it would still be a good investment for a billionaire because it provides the power to shape narratives.
People leave one shit hole corporate dystopia for another and think things are going to change.
Elon Musk saved them from having to confront that corporatism was the problem with Twitter. They don’t realize the whole “decentralized” slogan is just a startup in the growth phase willing to promise anything and ask for nothing in order to lock people in and if they’re lucky enough to not be bought by another billionaire fascist, they’ll just go to shit like all the others.
Isn’t that the usual state of affairs for westerners?
Nah dude if you stay an early adopter you can hop onto whatever platform is a fuckin desert before they enshittify it the minute it starts getting a community
Until it gets mass adoption, then the enshitification will begin. Bluesky is still funded by a corporation.
Not merely funded, owned by a for-profit.
It exists for profit. That is its goal and purpose.
Also the article doesnt have any critical question how BlueSky is a “mediated” network instead of decentralised …
Another shit private company trying to take over the world. Fuck off

It was a matter of time until BS (I prefer to use this abbreviation) reveals its true face, tragically after it permits the connection with instances in the Fediverse. It must be blocked immediately from Mastodon and others.
Utterly fuck shitter alt bluesky. Fuck them sideways and down and dead. Fuck them dead.
This is a psychotic reaction to a new social media site that is better than almost all the existing ones.
Would you kill to expound on why?
Me personally… They were already pretty heavy handed with moderation before the masses made the switch and then they got a bit worse.
But it feels like you’ve got something juicier!
