    Can everyone stop posting about Bluesky getting more people? We all know, someone posts that 10x a day

      Yeah too bad they didn’t get into it earlier, but it has hit a critical mass of users and attention lately.

    Wish it was mastodon; this feels like kicking the can down the road rather than actually solving any problems. Whatever, it’s still better than twitter

      I tried my best to like Mastodon, but after a day on bluesky I like it more. Mastodon is fine, but the shitposting is really lacking.

    It’s an alternative to Twitter in the same way Pepsi is an alternative to Coke, it’s still essentially the same thing. This is just trading one really shitty corporation for a different not as shitty yet corporation. As it grows it will eventually become the exact same thing and everyone will be back here celebrating the rise of some other corporate social-media network.

      It’s kind of not. It does appear to be at least theoretically possible to self-host any or all of the major components. Unlike ActivityPub projects, however, it doesn’t seem like anybody is doing that and offering services to the public.

      Currently it’s like the difference between Pepsi - and a soda company which is currently owned by a madman, and is aggressively, publicly trying to poison its customers, and spread Nazi shit and fascism and whatnot.

      A little wider gap than you’re saying.

      Sure, Pepsi could become that other thing. But it’s not currently.

    I’ve been tempted to give Bluesky another go after it left beta, but apparently you still can’t set up feeds so they all show up in one instead of having to swipe through all of them.

    It felt too much like work keeping up with things, so I gave up.
