Alex, the Hearth Fire

Tom Scott, in his newsletter today, described BlueSky as "the shiny Twitter-alike that will likely collapse into a ball of drama within a week".

As someone who doesn't need another social network right now, I'm kinda glad Mastodon is made up of several hundred separate balls of drama that can choose how they interact with each other.

@rockario yeah, when the different dramas bounce off each other, sometimes they become less dramatic

@WizardOfDocs the drama has a chance to dissipate as it laps against people who are disconnected from the specific people involved
