Let me guess, they're moving to Bluesky?

I tried moving to Mastadon first a few years ago and it was a pretty shit experience, Bluesky however has stuck in my app rotation pretty well.

General advice regarding open source: even if you tried something out years ago and didn't like it, it may be well worth giving it another shot. Open source projects often need some time to mature and take their time to improve, but only get better over time.

Unfortunately until they implement a For you algorithm across all instances and abandoned their archaic hashtag following system I will not be re-attempting

Which is incidentally the opposite of proprietary products, where if you give it another go in a few years it either doesn't exist or is enshittified.

Because Bluesky is centralised. You went from one serial killer's house to another. You don't know which serial killer owns your new house, but you're hoping they'll be nicer than the previous one. But at least their house is nearly as nice as the old serial killer's house.

Or meta because its better? Like getting run over by a small car instead of a bus.

Ewww people actually use Threads? Last time I saw it, it was like LinkedIn 2.0 filled with sigma grindset "chase that bag" crap.

I'm.on Lemmy and mastodon. Anything else is pure sarcasm. I sarcastically browse for TV's on Amazon. But will I buy? No. All have spyware on them, so no. I wouldn't touch meta with a 300ft pole.

This is not a particularly relevant comment, but you reminded me of when I was a kid and a friend had a TV on a stand opposite her bunk-bed. She didn't have a remote control, but she did have a long stick, and she was amazing at pressing the buttons from like 2m away. Proper life skill.

In my day you had to turn the knob. I made a geared motor adapter to change the channel remotely. DIY when I was 10.

Threads sucks compared to bsky don't know what you're talking about there. Bluesky has way more features and posting quality.

Unironically yes sadly :(
