Taking a page out of Valves book.

Doing nothing and let the competition drive customers your way.

Not really what Valve did. Valve kept doing cool things that benefit the customer, while the competition actively drove them away.

I don't follow social media. Is BlueSky feature rich and only getting better?

It's a lot of art, cats, and big tiddy cartoons. I haven't found anything too onerous in its UI, the community has a somewhat toxic level of positivity but that's certainly better than the general toxicity of most of the web these days.

Could you elaborate?

Well if you post something political you'll get a couple dozen replies telling you to "Leave that stuff at the other place".

...that sounds amazing. Perhaps I should go investigate Bluesky, heh.

It's pretty okay. Lots of engagement, also there's something of a 'block early and often' culture that seems to have a way of really reducing the drama and nonsense

Eh, that's the only way to use the internet at this point anyways. I'm a one-stupid-statement-and-blocked person already and it's made my life a lot easier.

Don't do angry replies, just roll my eyes and add them to a blocklist. Much better on the blood pressure.
