Great another social media platform from the same fart huffing dumb asses that sold Twitter... it's like people don't learn lessons.

This is a problem. Bluesky is privately-owned and will do same shit.

Here are some explainations. And more.

isn’t bluesky invite only?

I wonder why people aren’t going for mastodon.

I was interested in it but at the end of the day Dorsey got Twitter into its initially mediocre state, and he's endorsed RFK Jr. as well as Musk's purchase of Twitter. So should I really expect it to be any better? I'll keep an eye on it but my expectations aren't terribly high.

Excuse me, signups on an INVITE ONLY platform?

I firmly believe Elon is trying to run Twitter out of relevancy, or business entirely.

what the fuck is Bluesky

Always good to see more people looking into platforms besides Twitter, plenty of great places out there

People are so desperate for anything RESEMBLING twitter, that they'll sign up for a trash service like BS.

Mastodon undoubtedly has more brand recognition at this point.

I wouldn't hold my breath, 42k out of 528M is nothing

I'm so glad people are calling Bluesky out for the trash service it is. I just mastodon outlasts this crap and we get more people on there than bluesky

Who is the target audience for BlueSky? BlueSky's tech isn't as open or developed as the alternatives though, is it?

Edit:
Not sure why I asked that first question, answer's obvious, so it was more out of frustration I think. Sort of in a similar way towards people moving to Threads or any other corporate social media again after getting screwed before.

God I hope he gets gaslit into actually making Twitter a subscription. It would be so funny

Switch to Mastodon. It's a great alternative.

Strange to measure it against an invite only site, I would love to sign up but I haven’t been able to find invites. I think between Mastodon, Bluesky & Threads via ActivityPub (eventually) will get most of my communities back.

I love Mastodon & prefer it in many ways but there just aren’t enough people there. The tech & dev community is lively, everything else is essentially non-existent.

Bluesky, the "decentralized" X-alternative social media platform

"The" alternative platform?? Shots fired.

And Threads?
