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 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.

    its because of all the new accounts that have been made there. that's likely why you're seeing so many posts about it.

    a mass exodus from one twitter to another is a big deal for a lot of people.

    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.

    2 weeks? it was a lot longer than that. I mean hell there was a god damn multi-part comic about the "war" between digg and reddit. early reddit was a cringefest.

    Do you just call the owners of any company a Nazi? How are you defining Nazis here?
    Judging by your upvotes I must be out of the loop on something here.

    I tried to look into this claim and all I found was a CEO that's also a software dev Jay Graber: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Graber (Nothing controversial that I could find in her posts at a cursory glance)

    A software dev that worked on XMPP (Jeremy Miller): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremie_Miller

    And the CEO and founder of TechDirt (Mike Masnick): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Masnick

    I've never looked into Blockchain Capital much before, some quick search results show that they have invested in BlueSky (not enough to own/run the company from what I could find), but I don't see anything that associates them with nazis.

    How are you defining nazis here? What leads you to believe that Blockchain Capital is a nazi company? What links are there from Steve Banon to Blockchain Capital?
