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.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 15 points 6 days ago

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.

Use word filters for the things you don't want to see.

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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

I do remember there was a sub about it. Don't remember it infecting much beyond that though after the first few weeks. Perhaps I'm misremembering.

Because we all hate corpos.

its literally just a social media platform. jeez.

And we know what kind of control the platform owners have. "Just" doesn't cut it I think.
