Some early observations about Bluesky:

• People are having fun. People clearly missed using Twitter to shitpost.
• There are no norms yet. Nobody uses content warnings, nor is there a built-in feature for content warnings.
• Nobody uses alt text. Nobody gets scolded for not using alt text. Right now, Bluesky seems like a nightmare for blind and low-vision people.
• It's eery to see known abusers on Bluesky who I've had blocked for years, without the ability to block them.
• It's only a matter of days before violent right-wing accounts like A*dy Ng* show up on Bluesky. They WILL be allowed on, and they WILL build large followings, and the content moderation and privacy tools of Bluesky are not yet up to the task.

@chadloder I think the biggest issue is no matter what social media network you're on, they're just not that fun anymore because everybody's at odds with each other. It's just better to find a community or a little circle of friends where you can just share some general banter with imo
@Kicko @chadloder it’s interesting going back to IRC channels for that. Small bunch of people you can talk nonsense with without the feeling your crap will forever be within the eyesight of the righteous Internet puritans. I can understand why people want that.
