"I regret to inform you but Bluesky is fun..and Mastodon will remain as a niche product."

Well there it is folks, Wired has spoken. Let's go home. Nothing to see here. It's all over but the IPO. Nice try, though. A plethora of venture capitalists and a cabal of fascist plutocrats think you're a swell buncha peeps. Sincerely.

@shoq ha! Wired is owned by Condé Naste, which is owned by Advance Publications, which is owned by the Newhouse billionaires. And as we know, billionaires stick together.

@oldmanmike @shoq so I'm guessing 100% unpaid and gen-u-wine-ly "real" Redditors are already gushing about how fabulous the BS experience really is (pun intended about it all being BS).

Also sort of begs the question: fun for who? Clueless dudebros who aspire to the worst of capitalism''s outcomes? Yeah, kind of thought so.
