Can someone explain to me what is going on with Bluesky?
(lemmy.abnormalbeings.space)
I'm not very active on Mastodon, but saw this post - browsing the bluesky hashtag for a bit afterwards did not really give me much info. I can definitely imagine enshittification happening there, but what is causing the current drama in particular?
Twitter was not founded as a mobile app. Twitter was (officially) desktop-only for the 1st 4 years of its existence. Calling it a SMS-replacement app is ludicrous, since it mainly existed on PC for the first few years. I personally think the concept is dumb, but it became famous because it forced people to keep their messages short and interesting (aka clickbait?), not because it replaced SMSes.
Early on you could tweet by sending Twitter an SMS. (Not that this contradicts what you've said. I still don't know what they're getting at)
holy shit, really? that's even dumber than what my idiot-mind-retcon just did.
Breaking: Early internet was weird and people tried a lot of weird things. More at 11.
