I appreciate that this is going to upset some people, and I thought I was too shy to say it, but I prefer #BlueSky over #Mastodon:

Here's why:

@neil I got an advertisement, that’s how much of a loser I am

@neil

This tracks. (-; Totally on side.

@neil

I see that four people have boosted this. They are evil.

@neil some good points there but i'll have to think more about it before coming to any conclusions
@neil very well articulated, and almost got me convinced.
@neil brave, thank you for saying this
@neil you make an excellent point but a bit too subtle.
@neil Good point, well made

@neil

I have
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -m string --string youtube.com --algo bm -j DROP
in /etc/rc.local

@neil That's an utterly ill-informed take and I don't think it has any valid points.
@neil
Can't argue with that.
@neil you are a bad, bad man 🀣
We're Mad And Impressed At This Guy's Ability To Sing This Very Popular In Reverse | Digg

A new an innovative take on a tried and tested joke.

@neil Joke's on you, I love this song. πŸ˜‚
@neil I was ready for the trite Β«shiny new thingΒ» argument, but I must say you really pull some convincing points.
@neil I can't believe getting rick rolled in A.D 2023. You got me sir.
@neil
Rick rolled?
Really?
How childish.
@neil You're probably right about some people being upset, but I don't see why - we're all different, so it makes sense that while many of us prefer Mastodon, it might not be the best for everyone.
@neil Neil making some points
@neil Reinventing a classic is always welcome in my world
@neil you're the first person I've seen make a convincing argument
@neil I just need an invite
@neil thanks for shining light on the glaring issues with mastodon, this was an interesting read. it's true that fedi needs to step up their game if they want to survive :\
@neil Nice to know in Hell Year 2023 I can still get rickrolled. A small glimmer of joy remains.
@neil And I thought this artform was dead πŸ˜‚
@neil as good as it sounds, I would feel weird moving there and been constantly asked "hey, weren't you the guy from Mastodon social?"

@neil @drwho i clicked past my bluesky filter just to click on this and I regret nothing.

now I gotta listen to the whole thing; them's the rules..

@neil of course if I allow the redirect it won't…
@mmu_man @neil what is the name of the extension?

@gdr @neil no extension:

@neil

BlueSky is still in a very limited, low population beta. The character will assuredly change when it goes public.

@neil Here's why I'm not even going to try it:
@neil damnit! You got me with that one.
@neil You suck.  πŸ˜†
