Ha ha ha, yeah, sure. Bluesky won't defeat xitter, at best it'll just be the "next thing" once xitter finally finishes getting rid of most of its users, which I guess will take more than 4 years from now.

I've started removing trash sites. I blocked twatter and reddit at my router.
What's Bluesky?
It's the hot new non-billionaire controlled social media app for the 2020s: https://bsky.app/
not billionaire owned, but a bunch of VC firms led by one called Blockchain Capital already put a 15million USD bridle on them

Looking like it’s about time lmgtfy to make a comeback.
It needs A) same functionality B) ban all forms of racism, especially Zionism and C) refuse investment from undemocratic nations like GCC or China
That’s not going to happen here. Am I the only one who watched Trumps speech claiming to be about 1A? He is coming for social media day 1, to reinforce Elon Musk, not only on Twitter, but all other large social media platforms (he doesn’t name FB and Reddit, but he’s talking about FB and Reddit, maybe as far down as Lemmy, BlueSky & Mastadon too, idk).
He says he’s going to mobilize “my Department of Justice” to do it.
He specifically says: making account removal/banning only possible via court order, removing moderation, and removing any labels of misinformation or disinformation.
He’s already threatening YouTube with removal of section 230, if they moderate content.
Why is no one talking about this?

Tech journalists never learn anything from history. No Vc-funded social media is good
Most humans seem incapable of understanding why decentralization of power matters.

Please, let's not do this. Lets just enjoy sites that aren't toxic without making them toxic by written articles with headlines like this.
