This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Let me get this straight:
This doesn't really change your point at all, but I remember reading the tech news surrounding the Twitter sale to Musk as it was happening. If memory serves, Musk literally made the $420/share purchase offer as a joke, a joke that several lawsuits were filed to decide it was a serious and legally binding offer.
He memed his way into owning Twitter against his will, and then burned down everything to assuage his ego. But because he's a goddamn billionaire there are literally no repercussions.
Bluesky is dead. Long live Mastodon.
Maybe we need to start writing our own articles like this.
is bluesky privately owned? What is preventing this whole thing just happening again?
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.
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.
Because we all hate corpos.
May the corpos die
Long live Activity Pub.
I love that the people who weren't smart enough to leave Twitter two years ago are now eagerly jumping from one frying pan into another.
Fortunately there have been a few who learned their lessons a bit late and came over to Mastodon.
But the rest of them? The one who tolerated the racism and misogyny that Musk brought with his red pilled idiots? Let them have Blue Sky and the rest of us can watch as history eventually repeats itself.
Same as the old boss...
This one is probably also run by a right wing techie as well
I'm OK with that, as long as they keep their mouths shut.
My only interest regarding Bluesky is i don't care about Bluesky. Long live Mastodon, Lemmy, Fedia, and the rest of the Fediverse!
Maybe they should have done this about a year ago.
Lol, Blusky fan boys are quite active today. I'm sure this millionnaire's toy will be better than the previous one, good luck.
The way I look at it, I know it's probably going to end up being shit in the end, but it'll be a few years until that happens, and it will be fun in the meantime.
Just because you know I'll have to leave at some point doesn't mean that you don't enjoy the party while it lasts
Twitter is dead. Long live [name]. I saw this show before.
